|
|
1. O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth!
|
||
|
|
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
|
||
|
|
2. Rise up, O judge of the earth; repay to the proud what they deserve!
|
||
|
|
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
|
||
|
|
3. O LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?
|
||
|
|
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
|
||
|
|
4. They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers boast.
|
||
|
|
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
|
||
|
|
5. They crush your people, O LORD, and afflict your heritage.
|
||
|
|
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
|
||
|
|
6. They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless;
|
||
|
|
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
|
||
|
|
7. and they say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive.”
|
||
|
|
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
|
||
|
|
8. Understand, O dullest of the people! Fools, when will you be wise?
|
||
|
|
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
|
||
|
|
9. He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see?
|
||
|
|
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
|
||
|
|
10. He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge—
|
||
|
|
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
|
||
|
|
11. the LORD—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.
|
||
|
|
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
|
||
|
|
12. Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O LORD, and whom you teach out of your law,
|
||
|
|
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
|
||
|
|
13. to give him rest from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
|
||
|
|
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
|
||
|
|
14. For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage;
|
||
|
|
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
|
||
|
|
15. for justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
|
||
|
|
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
|
||
|
|
16. Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers?
|
||
|
|
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
|
||
|
|
17. If the LORD had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.
|
||
|
|
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
|
||
|
|
18. When I thought, “My foot slips,” your steadfast love, O LORD, held me up.
|
||
|
|
<a id="19" name="19"></a>
|
||
|
|
19. When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.
|
||
|
|
<a id="20" name="20"></a>
|
||
|
|
20. Can wicked rulers be allied with you, those who frame injustice by statute?
|
||
|
|
<a id="21" name="21"></a>
|
||
|
|
21. They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
|
||
|
|
<a id="22" name="22"></a>
|
||
|
|
22. But the LORD has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.
|
||
|
|
<a id="23" name="23"></a>
|
||
|
|
23. He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the LORD our God will wipe them out.
