O LORD, the God who avenges! O God who avenges, reveal your splendor! |
2
|
Rise up, O judge of the earth! Pay back the proud! |
3
|
O LORD, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked celebrate? |
4
|
They spew out threats and speak defiantly; all the evildoers boast. |
5
|
O LORD, they crush your people; they oppress the nation that belongs to you. |
6
|
They kill the widow and the one residing outside his native land, and they murder the fatherless. |
7
|
Then they say, "The LORD does not see this; the God of Jacob does not take notice of it." |
8
|
Take notice of this, you ignorant people! You fools, when will you ever understand? |
9
|
Does the one who makes the human ear not hear? Does the one who forms the human eye not see? |
10
|
Does the one who disciplines the nations not punish? He is the one who imparts knowledge to human beings! |
11
|
The LORD knows that peoples' thoughts are morally bankrupt. |
12
|
How blessed is the one whom you instruct, O LORD, the one whom you teach from your law, |
13
|
in order to protect him from times of trouble, until the wicked are destroyed. |
14
|
Certainly the LORD does not forsake his people; he does not abandon the nation that belongs to him. |
15
|
For justice will prevail, and all the morally upright will be vindicated. |
16
|
Who will rise up to defend me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers? |
17
|
If the LORD had not helped me, I would have laid down in the silence of death. |
18
|
If I say, "My foot is slipping," your loyal love, O LORD, supports me. |
19
|
When worries threaten to overwhelm me, your soothing touch makes me happy. |
20
|
Cruel rulers are not your allies, those who make oppressive laws. |
21
|
They conspire against the blameless, and condemn to death the innocent. |
22
|
But the LORD will protect me, and my God will shelter me. |
23
|
He will pay them back for their sin. He will destroy them because of their evil; the LORD our God will destroy them. |
