Lord, you are the God who punishes. Since you are the one who punishes, come and show your anger. |
2
|
Judge of the earth, rise up. Pay back proud people for what they have done. |
3
|
Lord, how long will those who are evil be glad? How long will they be full of joy? |
4
|
Proud words pour out of their mouths. All those who do evil are always bragging. |
5
|
Lord, they crush your people. They beat down those who belong to you. |
6
|
They kill outsiders. They kill widows. They murder children whose fathers have died. |
7
|
They say, "The Lord doesn't see what's happening. The God of Jacob doesn't pay any attention to it." |
8
|
You who aren't wise, pay attention. You foolish people, when will you become wise? |
9
|
Does he who made the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see? |
10
|
Does he who corrects nations not punish? Does he who teaches human beings not know anything? |
11
|
The Lord knows what people think. He knows that their thoughts don't amount to anything. |
12
|
Lord, blessed is the man you correct. Blessed is the person you teach from your law. |
13
|
You give him rest from times of trouble, until a pit is dug to trap sinners. |
14
|
The Lord won't say no to his people. He will never desert those who belong to him. |
15
|
He will again judge people in keeping with what is right. All those who have honest hearts will follow the right way. |
16
|
Who will rise up for me against sinful people? Who will stand up for me against those who do evil? |
17
|
Suppose the Lord had not helped me. Then I would soon have been lying quietly in the grave. |
18
|
I said, "My foot is slipping." But Lord, your love kept me from falling. |
19
|
I was very worried. But your comfort brought joy to my heart. |
20
|
Can you have anything to do with rulers who aren't fair? Can those who make laws that cause suffering be friends of yours? |
21
|
They join together against those who do what is right. They sentence to death those who aren't guilty of doing anything wrong. |
22
|
But the Lord has become like a fort to me. My God is my rock. I go to him for safety. |
23
|
He will pay them back for their sins. He will destroy them for their evil acts. The Lord our God will destroy them. |
