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.
1God of vengeance--Jehovah! God of vengeance, 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.
2Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on 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?
3Till when <FI>do<Fi> the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?
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.
4They utter--they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do 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,
5Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.
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;
6Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.
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.
7And they say, `Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.'
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?
8Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?
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?
9He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth 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?
10He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah.
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.
11He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they <FI>are<Fi> 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;
12O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,
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.
13To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is 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;
14For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.
15(not in this translation)
15But decisions will again be made in righteousness; and they will be kept by all whose hearts are true.
15For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart,
16(not in this translation)
16Who will give me help against the sinners? and who will be my support against the workers of evil?
16Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with 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.
17Unless Jehovah <FI>were<Fi> a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.
18(not in this translation)
18If I say, My foot is slipping; your mercy, O Lord, is my support.
18If I have said, `My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.
19(not in this translation)
19Among all my troubled thoughts, your comforts are the delight of my soul.
19In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
20(not in this translation)
20What part with you has the seat of sin, which makes evil into a law?
20Is a throne of mischief joined <FI>with<Fi> Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?
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.
21They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.
