ISV Parallel NET [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionNET Bible
1God of vengeance, LORD God of vengeance, display your splendor! 1O LORD, the God who avenges! O God who avenges, reveal your splendor!
2Stand up, judge of the earth, and repay the proud.2Rise up, O judge of the earth! Pay back the proud!
3How long will the wicked, LORD, how long will the wicked continue to triumph?3O LORD, 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 spew out threats and speak defiantly; all the evildoers boast.
5LORD, they have crushed your people, afflicting your heritage.5O LORD, they crush your people; they oppress the nation that belongs to you.
6The wicked kill widows and foreigners; they murder orphans.6They kill the widow and the one residing outside his native land, and they murder the fatherless.
7They say, "The LORD cannot see, and the God of Jacob will not notice."7Then they say, "The LORD does not see this; the God of Jacob does not take notice of it."
8Pay attention, you dull ones among the crowds! You fools! Will you ever become wise?8Take notice of this, you ignorant people! You fools, when will you ever understand?
9The one who formed the ear can hear, can he not? The one who made the eyes can see, can he not?9Does the one who makes the human ear not hear? Does the one who forms the human eye not see?
10The one who disciplines nations can rebuke them, can he not? The one who teaches mankind can discern, can he not?10Does the one who disciplines the nations not punish? He is the one who imparts knowledge to human beings!
11The LORD knows the thoughts of human beings— that they are futile.11The LORD knows that peoples' thoughts are morally bankrupt.
12How blessed is the man whom you instruct, LORD, whom you teach from your Law,12How blessed is the one whom you instruct, O LORD, the one whom you teach from your law,
13keeping him calm when times are troubled until a pit has been dug for the wicked.13in order to protect him from times of trouble, until the wicked are destroyed.
14For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage.14Certainly the LORD does not forsake his people; he does not abandon the nation that belongs to him.
15Righteousness will be restored with justice, and all the pure of heart will follow it.15For justice will prevail, and all the morally upright will be vindicated.
16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against those who practice iniquity?16Who will rise up to defend me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?
17If the LORD had not been my helper, I would have quickly become silent.17If the LORD had not helped me, I would have laid down 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 loyal love, O LORD, supports me.
19When my anxious inner thoughts become overwhelming, your comfort encourages me.19When worries threaten to overwhelm me, your soothing touch makes me happy.
20Will destructive national leaders, who plan wicked things through misuse of the Law, be allied with you?20Cruel rulers are not your allies, those who make oppressive laws.
21They gather together against the righteous, condemning the innocent to death.21They conspire against the blameless, and condemn to death the innocent.
22But the LORD is my stronghold, and my God, the rock, is my refuge.22But the LORD will protect me, and my God will shelter me.
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 sin. He will destroy them because of their evil; the LORD our God will destroy them.
