[1] O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth;
O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
[2] Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth:
Render a reward to the proud.
[3] Lord, how long shall the wicked,
How long shall the wicked triumph?
[4] How long shall they utter and speak hard things?
And all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
[5] They break in pieces thy people, O Lord,
And afflict thine heritage.
[6] They slay the widow and the stranger,
And murder the fatherless.
[7] Yet they say, The Lord shall not see,
Neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
[8] Understand, ye brutish among the people:
And ye fools, when will ye be wise?
[9] He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?
He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
[10] He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct?
He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
[11] The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man,
That they are vanity.
[12] Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord,
And teachest him out of thy law;
[13] That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity,
Until the pit be digged for the wicked.
[14] For the Lord will not cast off his people,
Neither will he forsake his inheritance.
[15] But judgment shall return unto righteousness:
And all the upright in heart shall follow it.
[16] Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?
Or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
[17] Unless the Lord had been my help,
My soul had almost dwelt in silence.
[18] When I said, My foot slippeth;
Thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.
[19] In the multitude of my thoughts within me
Thy comforts delight my soul.
[20] Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee,
Which frameth mischief by a law?
[21] They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,
And condemn the innocent blood.
[22] But the Lord is my defence;
And my God is the rock of my refuge.
[23] And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity,
And shall cut them off in their own wickedness;
Yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.
