1
O Jehovah, thou God to whom
vengeance belongeth,
Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
2
Lift up thyself, thou judge
of the earth:
Render to the proud [their] desert.
3
Jehovah, how long shall the
wicked,
How long shall the wicked triumph?
4
They prate, they speak
arrogantly:
All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.
5
They break in pieces thy
people, O Jehovah,
And afflict thy heritage.
6
They slay the widow and the
sojourner,
And murder the fatherless.
7
And they say, Jehovah will
not see,
Neither will the God of Jacob consider.
8
Consider, ye brutish among
the people;
And ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9
He that planted the ear,
shall he not hear?
He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10
He that chastiseth the
nations, shall not he correct,
[Even] he that teacheth man knowledge?
11
Jehovah knoweth the thoughts
of man,
That they are vanity.
12
Blessed is the man whom thou
chastenest, O Jehovah,
And teachest out of thy law;
13
That thou mayest give him
rest from the days of
adversity,
Until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14
For Jehovah will not cast off
his people,
Neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15
For judgment shall return
unto righteousness;
And all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16
Who will rise up for me
against the evil-doers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17
Unless Jehovah had been my
help,
My soul had soon dwelt in silence.
18
When I said, My foot
slippeth;
Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
19
In the multitude of my
thoughts within me Thy comforts
delight my soul.
2
0 Shall the throne of
wickedness have fellowship with thee,
Which frameth mischief by statute?
21
They gather themselves
together against the soul of the
righteous,
And condemn the innocent blood.
22
But Jehovah hath been my high
tower,
And my God the rock of my refuge.
23
And he hath brought upon them
their own iniquity,
And will cut them off in their own wickedness;
Jehovah our God will cut them off.
