Rise up, O judge of the earth;
repay to the proud what they deserve!

O Lord, how long shall the wicked,
how long shall the wicked exult?

They pour out their arrogant words;
all the evildoers boast.

[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.

They kill the widow and the sojourner,

and they say, “The Lord does not see;
the God of Jacob does not perceive.”

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 disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke?
He who teaches man knowledge —
He who teaches man knowledge —
He that instructeth the nations, shall not he correct -- he that teacheth man knowledge?
Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
Blessed is the man whom you discipline, 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;
to give him rest from days of trouble,
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 forsake his people;
he will not abandon his heritage;
he will not abandon his heritage;
For Jehovah will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
for justice will return to the 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.

If the Lord had not been my help,
my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.

your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up.

When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul.

In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul.

and my God the rock of my refuge.
