Psalm 94:20-23 (New American Bible - copyright US Conference of Catholic Bishops)
Can unjust judges be your allies, those who create burdens in the name of law,
Those who conspire against the just and condemn the innocent to death?
No, the LORD is my secure height, my God, the rock where I find refuge,
Who will turn back their evil upon them and destroy them for their wickedness. Surely the LORD our God will destroy them!
An alternate take on this part of Psalm 94, which I believe originates in El Salvador:
Should the wrong change places with right
and the courts play host to corruption;
should the innocent fear for their lives
while the guilty smile at their scheming;
still the Lord will be your refuge,
be your strength and courage and tower.
Though your foot should verge on slipping,
God will cherish, keep and protect you.
