1God of vengeance--Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.
1O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
2Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.
2Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3Till when <FI>do<Fi> the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?
3Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4They utter--they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.
4How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.
5They break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and afflict thine heritage.
6Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.
6They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7And they say, `Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.'
7Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?
8Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?
9He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah.
10He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they <FI>are<Fi> vanity.
11The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,
12Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law;
13To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.
13That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.
14For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart,
15But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity?
16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17Unless Jehovah <FI>were<Fi> a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.
17Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18If I have said, `My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.
18When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.
19In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
19In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20Is a throne of mischief joined <FI>with<Fi> Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?
20Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.
21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
