1 - O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, show thyself.

2 - Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.

3 - LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?

4 - [How long] shall they utter [and] speak hard things? [and] all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

5 - They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thy heritage.

6 - They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.

7 - Yet they say, The LORD will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard [it].

8 - Understand, 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 heathen, shall he not correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, [shall he not know]?

11 - The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.

12 - Blessed [is] the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him 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 the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

15 - But judgment shall return to righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

16 - Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? [or] who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

17 - Unless the LORD [had been] my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

18 - When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.

19 - In the multitude of my thoughts within me, thy comforts delight my soul.

20 - Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

21 - They assemble themselves against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

22 - But the LORD is my defense; and my God [is] the rock of my refuge.

23 - And he will bring upon them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness; [yes], the LORD our God will cut them off.
