¹ O Jehovah, God of vengeance; O God of vengeance, shine forth!² Lift up Yourself, O Judge of the earth; give a just recompence on the proud.³ Until when shall the wicked, O Jehovah, until when shall the wicked exult?⁴ They gush, they speak impudent things; all the workers of evil speak proudly.⁵ O Jehovah, they crush Your people and afflict Your inheritance.⁶ They kill the widow and the stranger, and murder the orphan.⁷ Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, nor shall the God of Jacob observe.⁸ Understand you beastly ones among the people; yea, you fools, when will you be wise?⁹ He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?¹⁰ He who chastises the nations, shall He not punish, He who teaches man knowledge?¹¹ Jehovah knows the thoughts of man, that they are a mist.

¹² Blessed is the man You chasten, O Jehovah, You teach him out of Your Law;¹³ to give him rest from troubled days, until the pit is dug for the wicked.¹⁴ For Jehovah will not leave His people; nor will He forsake His inheritance.¹⁵ For judgment shall turn to righteousness; and all the upright in heart shall follow after it.¹⁶ Who will rise up for Me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for Me against the workers of evil?¹⁷ Unless Jehovah had been my help, my soul would almost have dwelt in silence.¹⁸ If I said, My foot slides, O Jehovah, Your mercy has held me up.¹⁹ In the multitude of my inward thoughts, Your comforts delight my soul.²⁰ Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with You, devising mischief for a statute?²¹ They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the blood of the innocent.²² But Jehovah is my tower of defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.²³ And He shall turn their own iniquity upon them; and He shall cut them off in their evil, Jehovah our God shall exterminate them!
