1Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour.
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;
2Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
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.
3For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
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?
4For in his hand are all the ends of the earth: and the heights of the mountains are his.
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?
5For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
5Your people are crushed by them, O Lord, your heritage is troubled,
5 They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance;
6Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us.
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,
7For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
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].
8To day if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts:
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?
9As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.
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?
10Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart.
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?
11And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.
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.
12(not in this translation)
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;
13(not in this translation)
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.
14(not in this translation)
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;
15(not in this translation)
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.
16(not in this translation)
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?
17(not in this translation)
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.
18(not in this translation)
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.
19(not in this translation)
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.
20(not in this translation)
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?
21(not in this translation)
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.
