|
The Lord is a God who punishes people. God, come punish them. |
2
|
You are the judge of the whole earth. Give proud people the punishment they deserve. |
3
|
Lord, how long will the wicked have their fun? How much longer? |
4
|
How much longer will those criminals brag about the evil they did? |
5
|
Lord, they hurt your people and make them suffer. |
6
|
They kill widows and foreigners living in our country. They murder orphans. |
7
|
And they say the Lord does not see them doing those evil things! They say the God of Jacob does not know what is happening. |
8
|
You evil people are foolish. When will you learn your lesson? You are so stupid! You must try to understand. |
9
|
God made our ears, so surely he can hear what is happening! He made our eyes, so surely he can see you! |
10
|
The one who disciplines nations will surely correct you. He is the one who teaches us everything. |
11
|
He knows what people are thinking. He knows that their thoughts are like a puff of wind. |
12
|
Lord, what blessings there are for those you discipline, for those you teach from your law. |
13
|
You help them stay calm when trouble comes. You will help them until the wicked are put in their graves. |
14
|
The Lord will not leave his people. He will not leave them without help. |
15
|
Justice will return and bring fairness. And those who want to do right will be there to see it. |
16
|
No one helped me fight against the wicked. No one stood with me against those who do evil. |
17
|
And if the Lord had not helped me, I would have been silenced by death. |
18
|
I know I was ready to fall, but, Lord, your faithful love supported me. |
19
|
I was very worried and upset, but you comforted me and made me happy! |
20
|
You don't help crooked judges. They use the law to make life hard for the people. |
21
|
They attack those who do right. They say innocent people are guilty and put them to death. |
22
|
But the Lord is my place of safety, high on the mountain. God, my Rock, is my safe place! |
23
|
He will punish those evil judges for the bad things they did. He will destroy them because they sinned. The Lord our God will destroy them. |
