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 proudtheir 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, Evenhe 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.
