| 1. | Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth. |
| 2. | Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve. |
| 3. | Yahweh, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph? |
| 4. | They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast. |
| 5. | They break your people in pieces, Yahweh, and afflict your heritage. |
| 6. | They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless. |
| 7. | They say, "Yah will not see, neither will Jacob's God consider." |
| 8. | Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise? |
| 9. | He who implanted the ear, won't he hear? He who formed the eye, won't he see? |
| 10. | He who disciplines the nations, won't he punish? He who teaches man knows. |
| 11. | Yahweh knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile. |
| 12. | Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your law; |
| 13. | that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked. |
| 14. | For Yahweh won't reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. |
| 15. | For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it. |
| 16. | Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers? |
| 17. | Unless Yahweh had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence. |
| 18. | When I said, "My foot is slipping!" Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up. |
| 19. | In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul. |
| 20. | Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute? |
| 21. | They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. |
| 22. | But Yahweh has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge. |
| 23. | He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Yahweh, our God, will cut them off. |
