New International Version

International Standard Version

1The LORD is a God who avenges. O God who avenges, shine forth.

1God of vengeance, LORD God of vengeance, display your splendor!

2Rise up, Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.

2Stand up, judge of the earth, and repay the proud.

3How long, LORD, will the wicked, how long will the wicked be jubilant?

3How long will the wicked, LORD, how long will the wicked continue to triumph?

4They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers are full of boasting.

4When they speak, they spew arrogance. Everyone who practices iniquity brags about it.

5They crush your people, LORD; they oppress your inheritance.

5LORD, they have crushed your people, afflicting your heritage.

6They slay the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.

6The wicked kill widows and foreigners; they murder orphans.

7They say, "The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob takes no notice."

7They say, "The LORD cannot see, and the God of Jacob will not notice."

8Take notice, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?

8Pay attention, you dull ones among the crowds! You fools! Will you ever become wise?

9Does he who fashioned the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?

9The one who formed the ear can hear, can he not? The one who made the eyes can see, can he not?

10Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?

10The one who disciplines nations can rebuke them, can he not? The one who teaches mankind can discern, can he not?

11The LORD knows all human plans; he knows that they are futile.

11The LORD knows the thoughts of human beings— that they are futile.

12Blessed is the one you discipline, LORD, the one you teach from your law;

12How blessed is the man whom you instruct, LORD, whom you teach from your Law,

13you grant them relief from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked.

13keeping him calm when times are troubled until a pit has been dug for the wicked.

14For the LORD will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance.

14For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage.

15Judgment will again be founded on righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it.

15Righteousness will be restored with justice, and all the pure of heart will follow it.

16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?

16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against those who practice iniquity?

17Unless the LORD had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.

17If the LORD had not been my helper, I would have quickly become silent.

18When I said, "My foot is slipping," your unfailing love, LORD, supported me.

18When I say that my foot is shaking, your gracious love, LORD, will sustain me.

19When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.

19When my anxious inner thoughts become overwhelming, your comfort encourages me.

20Can a corrupt throne be allied with you-- a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?

20Will destructive national leaders, who plan wicked things through misuse of the Law, be allied with you?

21The wicked band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.

21They gather together against the righteous, condemning the innocent to death.

22But the LORD has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.

22But the LORD is my stronghold, and my God, the rock, is my refuge.

23He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the LORD our God will destroy them.

23He will repay them for their sin; he will annihilate them because of their evil. The LORD our God will annihilate them.
