¹ (93-1) The Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: the God of revenge hath acted freely.² (93-2) Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud.³ (93-3) How long shall sinners, O Lord: how long shall sinners glory?⁴ (93-4) Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: shall all speak who work injustice?⁵ (93-5) Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: and they have afflicted thy inheritance.⁶ (93-6) They have slain the widow and the stranger: and they have murdered the fatherless.⁷ (93-7) And they have said: The Lord shall not see: neither shall the God of Jacob understand.⁸ (93-8) Understand, ye senseless among the people: and, you fools, be wise at last.⁹ (93-9) He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?¹⁰ (93-10) He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: he that teacheth man knowledge?¹¹ (93-11) The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, that they are vain.

¹² (93-12) Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: and shalt teach him out of thy law.¹³ (93-13) That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: till a pit be dug for the wicked.¹⁴ (93-14) For the Lord will not cast off his people: neither will he forsake his own inheritance.¹⁵ (93-15) Until justice be turned into judgment: and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.¹⁶ (93-16) Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity?¹⁷ (93-17) Unless the Lord had been my helper, my soul had almost dwelt in hell.¹⁸ (93-18) If I said: My foot is moved: thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.¹⁹ (93-19) According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, thy comforts have given joy to my soul.²⁰ (93-20) Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, who framest labour in commandment?²¹ (93-21) They will hunt after the soul of the just, and will condemn innocent blood.²² (93-22) But the Lord is my refuge: and my God the help of my hope.²³ (93-23) And he will render them their iniquity:and in their malice he will destroy them: the Lord our God will destroy them.
