קָרוֹב֙ מַצְדִּיקִ֔י מִֽי־יָרִ֥יב אִתִּ֖י נַ֣עַמְדָה יָּ֑חַד מִֽי־בַ֥עַל מִשְׁפָּטִ֖י יִגַּ֥שׁ אֵלָֽי׃

He is near that justifieth me; Who will contend with me? let us stand up together; Who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.

He Who vindicates me is near The Holy One, blessed be He, is near to me to vindicate me in judgment.
