[1]O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, 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 recompense.
[3]𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?
[4]They gush out, they spe arrogancy; all the workers of iniquity bear themselves loftily.
[5]They crush Thy people, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and afflict Thy heritage.
[6]They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
[7]And they say: '𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 will not see, neither will the God of Jacob give heed.'
[8]Consider, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye understand?
[9]He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see?
[10]He that instructeth nations, shall not He correct? even He that teacheth man knowledge?
[11]𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
[12]Happy is the man whom Thou instructest, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and teachest out of Thy law;
[13]That Thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
[14]For 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance.
[15]For right shall return unto justice, 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 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 had been my help, my soul had soon dwelt in silence.
[18]If I say: 'My foot slippeth', Thy mercy, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, holdeth me up.
[19]When my cares are many within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
[20]Shall the seat of wickedness have fellowship with Thee, which frameth mischief by statute?
[21]They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
[22]But 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 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 evil; 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 our God will cut them off.
