[1] O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth,
Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
[2] Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth:
Render to the proud their desert.
[3] Jehovah, how long shall the wicked,
How long shall the wicked triumph?
[4] They prate, they speak arrogantly:
All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.
[5] They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah,
And afflict thy heritage.
[6] They slay the widow and the sojourner,
And murder the fatherless.
[7] And they say, Jehovah will not see,
Neither will the God of Jacob consider.
[8] Consider, ye brutish among the people;
And ye fools, when will ye be wise?
[9] He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?
He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
[10] He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct,
Even he that teacheth man knowledge?
[11] Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man,
That they are vanity.
[12] Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah,
And teachest out of thy law;
[13] That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity,
Until the pit be digged for the wicked.
[14] For Jehovah will not cast off his people,
Neither will he forsake his inheritance.
[15] For judgment shall return unto righteousness;
And all the upright in heart shall follow it.
[16] Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
[17] Unless Jehovah had been my help,
My soul had soon dwelt in silence.
[18] When I said, My foot slippeth;
Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
[19] In the multitude of my thoughts within me
Thy comforts delight my soul.
[20] Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee,
Which frameth mischief by statute?
[21] They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,
And condemn the innocent blood.
[22] But Jehovah hath been my high tower,
And my God the rock of my refuge.
[23] And he hath brought upon them their own iniquity,
And will cut them off in their own wickedness;
Jehovah our God will cut them off.
