1 O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
1 The LORD is a God who avenges. O God who avenges, shine forth.
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: Render to the proud [their] desert.
2 Rise up, Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.
3 Jehovah, how long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph?
3 How long, LORD, will the wicked, how long will the wicked be jubilant?
4 They prate, they speak arrogantly: All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.
4 They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers are full of boasting.
5 They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah, And afflict thy heritage.
5 They crush your people, LORD; they oppress your inheritance.
6 They slay the widow and the sojourner, And murder the fatherless.
6 They slay the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.
7 And they say, Jehovah will not see, Neither will the God of Jacob consider.
7 They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob takes no notice.”
8 Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye be wise?
8 Take notice, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
9 Does he who fashioned the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?
10 He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct, [Even] he that teacheth man knowledge?
10 Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?
11 Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, That they are vanity.
11 The LORD knows all human plans; he knows that they are futile.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah, And teachest out of thy law;
12 Blessed is the one you discipline, LORD, the one you teach from your law;
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit be digged for the wicked.
13 you grant them relief from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For Jehovah will not cast off his people, Neither will he forsake his inheritance.
14 For the LORD will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance.
15 For judgment shall return unto righteousness; And all the upright in heart shall follow it.
15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?
17 Unless Jehovah had been my help, My soul had soon dwelt in silence.
17 Unless the LORD had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.
18 When I said, My foot slippeth; Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, LORD, supported me.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul.
19 When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.
20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee, Which frameth mischief by statute?
20 Can a corrupt throne be allied with you— a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, And condemn the innocent blood.
21 The wicked band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
22 But Jehovah hath been my high tower, And my God the rock of my refuge.
22 But the LORD has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
23 And he hath brought upon them their own iniquity, And will cut them off in their own wickedness; Jehovah our God will cut them off.
23 He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the LORD our God will destroy them.
