1 O God the Lord of all auengeaunce: the Lorde of all auengeaunce shewe thy glorious maiestie. O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth! The LORD is a God who avenges. O God who avenges, shine forth.
2 Be exalted O thou iudge of the world: and rewarde the proude after their deseruyng. Rise up, O judge of the earth; repay to the proud what they deserve! Rise up, Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.
3 O God howe long shall the vngodly: howe long shall the vngodly triumph? O LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult? How long, LORD, will the wicked, how long will the wicked be jubilant?
4 All such as be workers of iniquitie: they babble, they prate shoutly, they make boastes of them selues. They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers boast. They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers are full of boasting.
5 They oppresse thy people O God: and they afflict thine heritage. They crush your people, O LORD, and afflict your heritage. They crush your people, LORD; they oppress your inheritance.
6 They murther the wyddowe and the straunger: & put the fatherlesse to death. They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless; They slay the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.
7 And they say, tushe the Lorde seeth it not: neither doth the God of Iacob vnderstande it. and they say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive.” They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob takes no notice.”
8 Understande ye vnwyse among the people: O ye fooles, when wyll ye be well aduised? Understand, O dullest of the people! Fools, when will you be wise? Take notice, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?
9 He that hath planted the eare, shall he not heare? yf he shapeth the eye, shall he not see? He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see? Does he who fashioned the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?
10 He that chasteneth the heathen, shall not he punishe? it is he that teacheth man knowledge. He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge— Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?
11 God knoweth the thoughtes of man: that they are but vanitie. the LORD—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath. The LORD knows all human plans; he knows that they are futile.
12 Blessed is the man O Lorde, whom thou wylt chasten: and whom thou wylt instruct in thy lawe. Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O LORD, and whom you teach out of your law, Blessed is the one you discipline, LORD, the one you teach from your law;
13 That thou mayest geue hym patience in tyme of aduersitie: vntyll the pyt be digged vp for the vngodly. to give him rest from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked. you grant them relief from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For God wyll not reiect his people: neither wil he forsake his inheritaunce. For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage; For the LORD will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance.
15 For iudgement shalbe reduced vnto iustice: and after it shall all such as be vpryght of heart be iudged. for justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it. Judgment will again be founded on righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16 Who will ryse vp with me agaynst the malicious? or who wyll take my part agaynst workers of wickednesse? Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers? Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?
17 If God had not ben an ayde vnto me: it had not fayled much but my soule had dwelled in silence. If the LORD had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence. Unless the LORD had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.
18 But when I sayde my foote hath slypped: thy mercy O God helde me vp. When I thought, “My foot slips,” your steadfast love, O LORD, held me up. When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, LORD, supported me.
19 In the multitude of my cogitations from the bottome of my heart: thy comfortes dyd recreate my soule. When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.
20 Shall the seate of wickednesse haue any thyng to do with thee: which seate maketh wrong to be enacted for a law? Can wicked rulers be allied with you, those who frame injustice by statute? Can a corrupt throne be allied with you— a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?
21 They flocke together agaynst the soule of the ryghteous: and condemne the innocent blood. They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death. The wicked band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
22 But God is to me a refuge: and my Lorde is the rocke of my confidence. But the LORD has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge. But the LORD has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
23 And he wyll recompence them their wickednesse, and destroy them in their owne malice: God our Lorde wyll destroy them. He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the LORD our God will wipe them out. He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the LORD our God will destroy them.
