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 LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
Lord, how long will the wicked,
How long will the wicked triumph?
How long will the wicked triumph?
LORD, how long shall the wicked, 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 hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
They break in pieces Your people, O Lord,
And afflict Your heritage.
And afflict Your heritage.
They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
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.
Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall 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 chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
The Lord knows the thoughts of man,
That they are futile.
That they are futile.
The LORD 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 LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
For the LORD 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.
But 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 evildoers? or who will stand up 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.
Unless the LORD had 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 mercy, O LORD, 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 thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law,
Have fellowship with You?
Have fellowship with You?
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
They gather together against the life of the righteous,
And condemn innocent blood.
And condemn innocent blood.
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the 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 the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
