| [1]O LORDH3068 GodH410, to whom vengeanceH5360 belongeth; O GodH410, to whom vengeanceH5360 belongeth, shewH3313 thyselfH8685. |
[1]O Lord God the avenger, O God the avenger, show thyself clearly. |
| [2]Lift upH5375[H8734] thyself, thou judgeH8199[H8802] of the earthH776: renderH7725[H8685] a rewardH1576 to the proudH1343. |
[2]Exalt thyself, O judge of the world, and render a reward to the proud. |
| [3]LORDH3068, how long shall the wickedH7563, how long shall the wickedH7563 triumphH5937?[H8799] |
[3]Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? |
| [4]How long shall they utterH5042[H8686] and speakH1696[H8762] hard thingsH6277? and all the workersH6466[H8802] of iniquityH205 boastH559 themselvesH8691? |
[4]They prate and speak fiercely: all the workers of iniquity vaunt themselves. |
| [5]They break in piecesH1792[H8762] thy peopleH5971, O LORDH3068, and afflictH6031[H8762] thine heritageH5159. |
[5]They smite down thy people, O Lord, and trouble thine heritage. |
| [6]They slayH2026[H8799] the widowH490 and the strangerH1616, and murderH7523[H8762] the fatherlessH3490. |
[6]They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. |
| [7]Yet they sayH559[H8799], The LORDH3050 shall not seeH7200[H8799], neither shall the GodH430 of JacobH3290 regardH995 itH8799. |
[7]Yet they say, The Lord shall not see: neither will the God of Jacob regard it. |
| [8]UnderstandH995[H8798], ye brutishH1197[H8802] among the peopleH5971: and ye foolsH3684, when will ye be wiseH7919?[H8686] |
[8]Understand ye unwise among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? |
| [9]He that plantedH5193[H8802] the earH241, shall he not hearH8085[H8799]? he that formedH3335[H8802] the eyeH5869, shall he not seeH5027?[H8686] |
[9]He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? Or he that formed the eye, shall he not see? |
| [10]He that chastisethH3256[H8802] the heathenH1471, shall not he correctH3198[H8686]? he that teachethH3925[H8764] manH120 knowledge, shall not he knowH1847? |
[10]Or he that chastiseth the nations, shall he not correct? He that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not know? |
| [11]The LORDH3068 knowethH3045[H8802] the thoughtsH4284 of manH120, that they are vanityH1892. |
[11]The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. |
| [12]BlessedH835 is the manH1397 whom thou chastenestH3256[H8762], O LORDH3050, and teachestH3925[H8762] him out of thy lawH8451; |
[12]Blessed is the man, whom thou chastisest, O Lord, and teachest him in thy Law, |
| [13]That thou mayest give him restH8252[H8687] from the daysH3117 of adversityH7451, until the pitH7845 be diggedH3738[H8735] for the wickedH7563. |
[13]That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, whiles the pit is digged for the wicked. |
| [14]For the LORDH3068 will not cast offH5203[H8799] his peopleH5971, neither will he forsakeH5800[H8799] his inheritanceH5159. |
[14]Surely the Lord will not fail his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. |
| [15]But judgmentH4941 shall returnH7725[H8799] unto righteousnessH6664: and all the uprightH3477 in heartH3820 shall follow itH310. |
[15]For judgment shall return to justice, and all the upright in heart shall follow after it. |
| [16]Who will rise upH6965[H8799] for me against the evildoersH7489[H8688]? or who will stand upH3320[H8691] for me against the workersH6466[H8802] of iniquityH205? |
[16]Who will rise up with me against the wicked? Or who will take my part against the workers of iniquity? |
| [17]UnlessH3884 the LORDH3068 had been my helpH5833, my soulH5315 had almostH4592 dweltH7931[H8804] in silenceH1745. |
[17]If the Lord had not holpen me, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. |
| [18]When I saidH559[H8804], My footH7272 slippethH4131[H8804]; thy mercyH2617, O LORDH3068, held me upH5582.[H8799] |
[18]When I said, My foot slideth, thy mercy, O Lord, stayed me. |
| [19]In the multitudeH7230 of my thoughtsH8312 withinH7130 me thy comfortsH8575 delightH8173[H8770] my soulH5315. |
[19]In the multitude of my thoughts in mine heart, thy comforts have rejoiced my soul. |
| [20]Shall the throneH3678 of iniquityH1942 have fellowshipH2266[H8792] with thee, which framethH3335[H8802] mischiefH5999 by a lawH2706? |
[20]Hath the throne of iniquity fellowship with thee, which forgeth wrong for a law? |
| [21]They gather themselves togetherH1413[H8799] against the soulH5315 of the righteousH6662, and condemnH7561[H8686] the innocentH5355 bloodH1818. |
[21]They gather them together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. |
| [22]But the LORDH3068 is my defenceH4869; and my GodH430 is the rockH6697 of my refugeH4268. |
[22]But the Lord is my refuge, and my God is the rock of mine hope. |
| [23]And he shall bringH7725[H8686] upon them their own iniquityH205, and shall cut them offH6789[H8686] in their own wickednessH7451; yea, the LORDH3068 our GodH430 shall cut them offH6789.[H8686] |
[23]And he will recompense them their wickedness, and destroy them in their own malice: yea, the Lord our God shall destroy them. |
