The LORD Implored to Avenge His People.
O LORD, God of vengeance,
God of vengeance, shine forth!
O LORD, God of vengeance,
God of vengeance, shine forth!
The Lord Will Not Forget His People
O God of vengeances, Jehovah, God of vengeances, shine forth;
O God of vengeances, Jehovah, God of vengeances, shine forth;
Rise up, O Judge of the earth,
Render recompense to the proud.
Render recompense to the proud.
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud.
How long shall the wicked, O LORD,
How long shall the wicked exult?
How long shall the wicked exult?
How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph?
They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly;
All who do wickedness vaunt themselves.
All who do wickedness vaunt themselves.
[How long] shall they utter [and] speak insolence -- all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
They crush Your people, O LORD,
And afflict Your heritage.
And afflict Your heritage.
They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance;
They slay the widow and the stranger
And murder the orphans.
And murder the orphans.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless,
They have said, “The LORD does not see,
Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed.”
Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed.”
And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard [it].
Pay heed, you senseless among the people;
And when will you understand, stupid ones?
And when will you understand, stupid ones?
Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
He who planted the ear, does He not hear?
He who formed the eye, does He not see?
He who formed the eye, does He not see?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
He who chastens the nations, will He not rebuke,
Even He who teaches man knowledge?
Even He who teaches man knowledge?
He that instructeth the nations, shall not he correct -- he that teacheth man knowledge?
The LORD knows the thoughts of man,
That they are a mere breath.
That they are a mere breath.
Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O LORD,
And whom You teach out of Your law;
And whom You teach out of Your law;
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law;
That You may grant him relief from the days of adversity,
Until a pit is dug for the wicked.
Until a pit is dug for the wicked.
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
For the LORD will not abandon His people,
Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
For Jehovah will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
For judgment will again be righteous,
And all the upright in heart will follow it.
And all the upright in heart will follow it.
For judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
Who will stand up for me against evildoers?
Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness?
Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness?
Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
If the LORD had not been my help,
My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
If I should say, “My foot has slipped,”
Your lovingkindness, O LORD, will hold me up.
Your lovingkindness, O LORD, will hold me up.
When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
When my anxious thoughts multiply within me,
Your consolations delight my soul.
Your consolations delight my soul.
In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul.
Can a throne of destruction be allied with You,
One which devises mischief by decree?
One which devises mischief by decree?
Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law?
They band themselves together against the life of the righteous
And condemn the innocent to death.
And condemn the innocent to death.
They band together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
But the LORD has been my stronghold,
And my God the rock of my refuge.
And my God the rock of my refuge.
But Jehovah will be my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge.
