1O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongs— O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!1O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth.
2Rise up, O Judge of the earth; Render punishment to the proud.2Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud.
3LORD, how long will the wicked, How long will the wicked triumph?3How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked exult?
4They utter speech, and speak insolent things; All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.4They pour out arrogant words; all workers of iniquity boast.
5They break in pieces Your people, O LORD, And afflict Your heritage.5They crush Your people, O LORD; they oppress Your heritage.
6They slay the widow and the stranger, And murder the fatherless.6They kill the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.
7Yet they say, “The LORD does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob understand.”7They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.”
8Understand, you senseless among the people; And you fools, when will you be wise?8Take notice, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you be wise?
9He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?9He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see?
10He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge?10He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge?
11The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are futile.11The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
12Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O LORD, And teach out of Your law,12Blessed is the man You discipline, O LORD, and teach from Your law,
13That You may give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked.13to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14For the LORD will not cast off His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.14For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage.
15But judgment will return to righteousness, And all the upright in heart will follow it.15Surely judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
17Unless the LORD had been my help, My soul would soon have settled in silence.17Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
18If I say, “My foot slips,” Your mercy, O LORD, will hold me up.18If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me.
19In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.19When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.
20Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, Have fellowship with You?20Can a corrupt throne be Your ally—one devising mischief by decree?
21They gather together against the life of the righteous, And condemn innocent blood.21They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
22But the LORD has been my defense, And my God the rock of my refuge.22But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge.
23He has brought on them their own iniquity, And shall cut them off in their own wickedness; The LORD our God shall cut them off.23He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness. The LORD our God will destroy them.
