CSB Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Christian Standard BibleInternational Standard Version
1LORD, God of vengeance--God of vengeance, shine!1God of vengeance, LORD God of vengeance, display your splendor!
2Rise up, Judge of the earth; repay the proud what they deserve.2Stand up, judge of the earth, and repay the proud.
3LORD, how long will the wicked--how long will the wicked celebrate?3How long will the wicked, LORD, how long will the wicked continue to triumph?
4They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers boast.4When they speak, they spew arrogance. Everyone who practices iniquity brags about it.
5LORD, they crush your people; they oppress your heritage.5LORD, they have crushed your people, afflicting your heritage.
6They kill the widow and the resident alien and murder the fatherless.6The wicked kill widows and foreigners; they murder orphans.
7They say, "The LORD doesn't see it. The God of Jacob doesn't pay attention."7They say, "The LORD cannot see, and the God of Jacob will not notice."
8Pay attention, you stupid people! Fools, when will you be wise?8Pay attention, you dull ones among the crowds! You fools! Will you ever become wise?
9Can the one who shaped the ear not hear, the one who formed the eye not see?9The one who formed the ear can hear, can he not? The one who made the eyes can see, can he not?
10The one who instructs nations, the one who teaches mankind knowledge--does he not discipline?10The one who disciplines nations can rebuke them, can he not? The one who teaches mankind can discern, can he not?
11The LORD knows the thoughts of mankind; they are futile.11The LORD knows the thoughts of human beings— that they are futile.
12LORD, how happy is anyone you discipline and teach from your law12How blessed is the man whom you instruct, LORD, whom you teach from your Law,
13to give him relief from troubled times until a pit is dug for the wicked.13keeping him calm when times are troubled until a pit has been dug for the wicked.
14The LORD will not leave his people or abandon his heritage,14For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage.
15for the administration of justice will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.15Righteousness will be restored with justice, and all the pure of heart will follow it.
16Who stands up for me against the wicked? Who takes a stand for me against evildoers?16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against those who practice iniquity?
17If the LORD had not been my helper, I would soon rest in the silence of death.17If the LORD had not been my helper, I would have quickly become silent.
18If I say, "My foot is slipping," your faithful love will support me, LORD.18When I say that my foot is shaking, your gracious love, LORD, will sustain me.
19When I am filled with cares, your comfort brings me joy.19When my anxious inner thoughts become overwhelming, your comfort encourages me.
20Can a corrupt throne be your ally, a throne that makes evil laws?20Will destructive national leaders, who plan wicked things through misuse of the Law, be allied with you?
21They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.21They gather together against the righteous, condemning the innocent to death.
22But the LORD is my refuge; my God is the rock of my protection.22But the LORD is my stronghold, and my God, the rock, is my refuge.
23He will pay them back for their sins and destroy them for their evil. The LORD our God will destroy them.23He will repay them for their sin; he will annihilate them because of their evil. The LORD our God will annihilate them.
