1O God, in whose hands is punishment, O God of punishment, let your shining face be seen.
1OGod of vengeances, Jehovah,God of vengeances, shine forth;
2Be lifted up, O judge of the earth; let their reward come to the men of pride.
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud.
3How long will sinners, O Lord, how long will sinners have joy over us?
3 How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4Words of pride come from their lips; all the workers of evil say great things of themselves.
4 [How long] shall they utter [and] speak insolence — all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5Your people are crushed by them, O Lord, your heritage is troubled,
5 They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance;
6They put to death the widow and the guest, they take the lives of children who have no father;
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless,
7And they say, Jah will not see it, the God of Jacob will not give thought to it.
7 And say, Jah will not see, neither will theGod of Jacob regard [it].
8Give your mind to my words, you who are without wisdom among the people; you foolish men, when will you be wise?
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9Has he by whom your ears were planted no hearing? or is he blind by whom your eyes were formed?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10He who is the judge of the nations, will he not give men the reward of their acts, even he who gives knowledge to man?
10 He that instructeth the nations, shall not he correct — he that teacheth man knowledge?
11The Lord has knowledge of the thoughts of man, for they are only a breath.
11 Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12Happy is the man who is guided by you, O Jah, and to whom you give teaching out of your law;
12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law;
13So that you may give him rest from the days of evil, till a hole is made ready for the destruction of the sinners.
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14The Lord will not give up his people, or take away his support from his heritage;
14 For Jehovah will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
15But decisions will again be made in righteousness; and they will be kept by all whose hearts are true.
15 For judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16Who will give me help against the sinners? and who will be my support against the workers of evil?
16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
17If the Lord had not been my helper, my soul would quickly have gone down into death.
17 If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18If I say, My foot is slipping; your mercy, O Lord, is my support.
18 When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
19Among all my troubled thoughts, your comforts are the delight of my soul.
19 In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul.
20What part with you has the seat of sin, which makes evil into a law?
20 Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law?
21They are banded together against the soul of the upright, to give decisions against those who have done no wrong.
21 They band together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
