New King James VersionNew American Standard Bible 1995
1O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongs— O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!1O LORD, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth!
2Rise up, O Judge of the earth; Render punishment to the proud.2Rise up, O Judge of the earth, Render recompense to the proud.
3LORD, how long will the wicked, How long will the wicked triumph?3How long shall the wicked, O LORD, How long shall the wicked exult?
4They utter speech, and speak insolent things; All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.4They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly; All who do wickedness vaunt themselves.
5They break in pieces Your people, O LORD, And afflict Your heritage.5They crush Your people, O LORD, And afflict Your heritage.
6They slay the widow and the stranger, And murder the fatherless.6They slay the widow and the stranger And murder the orphans.
7Yet they say, “The LORD does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob understand.”7They have said, "The LORD does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed."
8Understand, you senseless among the people; And you fools, when will you be wise?8Pay heed, you senseless among the people; And when will you understand, stupid ones?
9He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?9He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see?
10He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge?10He who chastens the nations, will He not rebuke, Even He who teaches man knowledge?
11The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are futile.11The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are a mere breath.
12Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O LORD, And teach out of Your law,12Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O LORD, And whom You teach out of Your law;
13That You may give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked.13That You may grant him relief from the days of adversity, Until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14For the LORD will not cast off His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.14For the LORD will not abandon His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
15But judgment will return to righteousness, And all the upright in heart will follow it.15For judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart will follow it.
16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?16Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness?
17Unless the LORD had been my help, My soul would soon have settled in silence.17If the LORD had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
18If I say, “My foot slips,” Your mercy, O LORD, will hold me up.18If I should say, "My foot has slipped," Your lovingkindness, O LORD, will hold me up.
19In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.19When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul.
20Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, Have fellowship with You?20Can a throne of destruction be allied with You, One which devises mischief by decree?
21They gather together against the life of the righteous, And condemn innocent blood.21They band themselves together against the life of the righteous And condemn the innocent to death.
22But the LORD has been my defense, And my God the rock of my refuge.22But the LORD has been my stronghold, And my God the rock of my refuge.
23He has brought on them their own iniquity, And shall cut them off in their own wickedness; The LORD our God shall cut them off.23He has brought back their wickedness upon them And will destroy them in their evil; The LORD our God will destroy them.
