| 1. | O łGod of vengeances, Jehovah, łGod of vengeances, shine forth; |
| 2. | Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud. |
| 3. | How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph? |
| 4. | How long shall they utter and speak insolence -- all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? |
| 5. | They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance; |
| 6. | They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless, |
| 7. | And say, Jah will not see, neither will 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 instructeth the nations, shall not he correct -- he that teacheth man knowledge? |
| 11. | Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. |
| 12. | Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law; |
| 13. | That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked. |
| 14. | For Jehovah will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance; |
| 15. | For judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it. |
| 16. | Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity? |
| 17. | If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. |
| 18. | When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up. |
| 19. | In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul. |
| 20. | Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law? |
| 21. | They band together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood. |
| 22. | But Jehovah will be my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge. |
| 23. | And he will bring upon them their iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil: Jehovah our God will cut them off. |
