God the Refuge of the Righteous
O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongs —
O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!
O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongs —
O God, to whom vengeance belongs, 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;
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud.
Lord, how long will the wicked,
How long will the wicked triumph?
How long will the wicked triumph?
How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph?
They utter speech, and speak insolent things;
All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.
All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.
[How long] shall they utter [and] speak insolence -- all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
They break in pieces 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 fatherless.
And murder the fatherless.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless,
And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard [it].
Understand, you senseless among the people;
And you fools, when will you be wise?
And you fools, when will you be wise?
Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
He who planted the ear, shall He not hear?
He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
He that instructeth the nations, shall not he correct -- he that teacheth man knowledge?
The Lord knows the thoughts of man,
That they are futile.
That they are futile.
Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord,
And teach out of Your law,
And teach out of Your law,
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law;
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
For Jehovah will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
But judgment will return to 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 evildoers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
Unless the Lord had been my help,
My soul would soon have settled in silence.
My soul would soon have settled in silence.
If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
If I say, “My foot slips,”
Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up.
Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up.
When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
Your comforts delight my soul.
Your comforts delight my soul.
In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul.
Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law,
Have fellowship with You?
Have fellowship with You?
Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law?
They gather together against the life of the righteous,
And condemn innocent blood.
And condemn innocent blood.
They band together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
But the Lord has been my defense,
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.
