1 O LORD * h3068 God * h410, to whom vengeance * h5360 belongeth; O God * h410, to whom vengeance * h5360 belongeth, shew * h3313 h8685 thyself. God...: Heb. God of revenges shew...: Heb. shine forth
2 Lift up * h5375 h8734 thyself, thou judge * h8199 h8802 of the earth * h776: render * h7725 h8685 a reward * h1576 to the proud * h1343.
3 LORD * h3068, how long shall the wicked * h7563, how long shall the wicked * h7563 triumph * h5937 h8799?
4 How long shall they utter * h5042 h8686 and speak * h1696 h8762 hard things * h6277? and all the workers * h6466 h8802 of iniquity * h205 boast * h559 h8691 themselves?
5 They break in pieces * h1792 h8762 thy people * h5971, O LORD * h3068, and afflict * h6031 h8762 thine heritage * h5159.
6 They slay * h2026 h8799 the widow * h490 and the stranger * h1616, and murder * h7523 h8762 the fatherless * h3490.
7 Yet they say * h559 h8799, The LORD * h3050 shall not see * h7200 h8799, neither shall the God * h430 of Jacob * h3290 regard * h995 h8799 it .
8 Understand * h995 h8798, ye brutish * h1197 h8802 among the people * h5971: and ye fools * h3684, when will ye be wise * h7919 h8686?
9 He that planted * h5193 h8802 the ear * h241, shall he not hear * h8085 h8799? he that formed * h3335 h8802 the eye * h5869, shall he not see * h5027 h8686?
10 He that chastiseth * h3256 h8802 the heathen * h1471, shall not he correct * h3198 h8686? he that teacheth * h3925 h8764 man * h120 knowledge * h1847, shall not he know ?
11 The LORD * h3068 knoweth * h3045 h8802 the thoughts * h4284 of man * h120, that they are vanity * h1892.
12 Blessed * h835 is the man * h1397 whom thou chastenest * h3256 h8762, O LORD * h3050, and teachest * h3925 h8762 him out of thy law * h8451;
13 That thou mayest give him rest * h8252 h8687 from the days * h3117 of adversity * h7451, until the pit * h7845 be digged * h3738 h8735 for the wicked * h7563.
14 For the LORD * h3068 will not cast off * h5203 h8799 his people * h5971, neither will he forsake * h5800 h8799 his inheritance * h5159.
15 But judgment * h4941 shall return * h7725 h8799 unto righteousness * h6664: and all the upright * h3477 in heart * h3820 shall follow * h310 it. shall follow...: Heb. shall be after it
16 Who will rise up * h6965 h8799 for me against the evildoers * h7489 h8688? or who will stand up * h3320 h8691 for me against the workers * h6466 h8802 of iniquity * h205?
17 Unless * h3884 the LORD * h3068 had been my help * h5833, my soul * h5315 had almost * h4592 dwelt * h7931 h8804 in silence * h1745. almost: or, quickly
18 When I said * h559 h8804, My foot * h7272 slippeth * h4131 h8804; thy mercy * h2617, O LORD * h3068, held me up * h5582 h8799.
19 In the multitude * h7230 of my thoughts * h8312 within * h7130 me thy comforts * h8575 delight * h8173 h8770 my soul * h5315.
20 Shall the throne * h3678 of iniquity * h1942 have fellowship * h2266 h8792 with thee, which frameth * h3335 h8802 mischief * h5999 by a law * h2706?
21 They gather themselves together * h1413 h8799 against the soul * h5315 of the righteous * h6662, and condemn * h7561 h8686 the innocent * h5355 blood * h1818.
22 But the LORD * h3068 is my defence * h4869; and my God * h430 is the rock * h6697 of my refuge * h4268.
23 And he shall bring * h7725 h8686 upon them their own iniquity * h205, and shall cut them off * h6789 h8686 in their own wickedness * h7451; yea , the LORD * h3068 our God * h430 shall cut them off * h6789 h8686.
