O LORD God, You to Whom vengeance belongs, O God, You to Whom vengeance belongs, shine forth! |
2
|
Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render to the proud a fit compensation! |
3
|
Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph and exult? |
4
|
They pour out arrogant words, speaking hard things; all the evildoers boast loftily. [Jude 14, 15.] |
5
|
They crush Your people, O Lord, and afflict Your heritage. |
6
|
They slay the widow and the transient stranger and murder the unprotected orphan. |
7
|
Yet they say, The Lord does not see, neither does the God of Jacob notice it. |
8
|
Consider and understand, you stupid ones among the people! And you [self-confident] fools, when will you become wise? |
9
|
He Who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He Who formed the eye, shall He not see? |
10
|
He Who disciplines and instructs the nations, shall He not punish, He Who teaches man knowledge? |
11
|
The Lord knows the thoughts of man, that they are vain (empty and futile--only a breath). [I Cor. 3:20.] |
12
|
Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man whom You discipline and instruct, O Lord, and teach out of Your law, |
13
|
That You may give him power to keep himself calm in the days of adversity, until the [inevitable] pit of corruption is dug for the wicked. |
14
|
For the Lord will not cast off nor spurn His people, neither will He abandon His heritage. |
15
|
For justice will return to the [uncompromisingly] righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it. |
16
|
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? |
17
|
Unless the Lord had been my help, I would soon have dwelt in [the land where there is] silence. |
18
|
When I said, My foot is slipping, Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, held me up. |
19
|
In the multitude of my [anxious] thoughts within me, Your comforts cheer and delight my soul! |
20
|
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with You--they who frame and hide their unrighteous doings under [the sacred name of] law? |
21
|
They band themselves together against the life of the [consistently] righteous and condemn the innocent to death. |
22
|
But the Lord has become my High Tower and Defense, and my God the Rock of my refuge. |
23
|
And He will turn back upon them their own iniquity and will wipe them out by means of their own wickedness; the Lord our God will wipe them out. |
