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