###### 1
|
||
|
|
O Yahweh, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Render recompense to the proud.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
How long shall the wicked, O Yahweh, How long shall the wicked exult?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
They pour forth _words_, they speak arrogantly; All workers of iniquity vaunt themselves.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
They crush Your people, O Yahweh, And afflict Your inheritance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
They slay the widow and the sojourner And murder the orphans.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
They have said, "Yah does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob discern."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
Discern, you senseless among the people; And when will you have insight, _you_ fools?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
He who disciplines the nations, will He not rebuke, _Even_ He who teaches man knowledge?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
Yahweh knows the thoughts of man, That they are vanity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
Blessed is the man whom You discipline, O Yah, And whom You teach out of Your law;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
That You may grant him calm from the days of calamity, Until a pit is dug for the wicked.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
For Yahweh will not abandon His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
For judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart will follow it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
Who will arise for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against workers of iniquity?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
If Yahweh had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in _the abode of_ silence.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
If I should say, "My foot has stumbled," Your lovingkindness, O Yahweh, will hold me up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 19
|
||
|
|
When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
Can a throne of destruction be allied with You, One which forms trouble by statute?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 21
|
||
|
|
They band themselves together against the life of the righteous And condemn the innocent to death.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 22
|
||
|
|
But Yahweh has been my stronghold, And my God the rock of my refuge.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 23
|
||
|
|
He has brought back their iniquity upon them And will destroy them in their evil; Yahweh our God will destroy them.
