The Lord is a God who avenges.
O God who avenges, shine forth.
The Lord is a God who avenges.
O God who avenges, 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, Judge of the earth;
pay back to the proud what they deserve.
pay back to the proud what they deserve.
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud.
How long, Lord, will the wicked,
how long will the wicked be jubilant?
how long will the wicked be jubilant?
How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph?
They pour out arrogant words;
all the evildoers are full of boasting.
all the evildoers are full of boasting.
[How long] shall they utter [and] speak insolence -- all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
They crush your people, Lord;
they oppress your inheritance.
they oppress your inheritance.
They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance;
They slay the widow and the foreigner;
they murder the fatherless.

They say, “The Lord does not see;
the God of Jacob takes no notice.”
the God of Jacob takes no notice.”
And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard [it].
Take notice, you senseless ones among the people;
you fools, when will you become wise?
you fools, when will you become wise?
Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?
Does he who formed the eye not see?
Does he who formed the eye not see?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
Does he who disciplines nations not punish?
Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?
Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?
He that instructeth the nations, shall not he correct -- he that teacheth man knowledge?
The Lord knows all human plans;
he knows that they are futile.
he knows that they are futile.
Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
Blessed is the one you discipline, Lord,
the one you teach from your law;
the one you teach from your law;
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law;
you grant them relief from days of trouble,
till a pit is dug for the wicked.
till 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 reject his people;
he will never forsake his inheritance.
he will never forsake his inheritance.
For Jehovah will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,
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 rise up for me against the wicked?
Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?
Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?
Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
Unless the Lord had given me help,
I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.

If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
When I said, “My foot is slipping,”
your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.

When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought me joy.
your consolation brought me joy.
In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul.
Can a corrupt throne be allied with you —
a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?
a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?
Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law?
The wicked band together against 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 become my fortress,
and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
But Jehovah will be my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge.
