Holman Christian Standard BibleNew American Standard Bible 1995
1 LORD, God of vengeance-- God of vengeance, appear. 1O LORD, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth!
2Rise up, Judge of the earth; repay the proud what they deserve. 2Rise up, O Judge of the earth, Render recompense to the proud.
3 LORD, how long will the wicked-- how long will the wicked gloat? 3How long shall the wicked, O LORD, How long shall the wicked exult?
4They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers boast. 4They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly; All who do wickedness vaunt themselves.
5 LORD, they crush Your people; they afflict Your heritage. 5They crush Your people, O LORD, And afflict Your heritage.
6They kill the widow and the foreigner and murder the fatherless. 6They slay the widow and the stranger And murder the orphans.
7They say, "The LORD doesn't see it. The God of Jacob doesn't pay attention." 7They have said, "The LORD does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed."
8Pay attention, you stupid people! Fools, when will you be wise? 8Pay heed, you senseless among the people; And when will you understand, stupid ones?
9Can the One who shaped the ear not hear, the One who formed the eye not see? 9He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see?
10The One who instructs nations, the One who teaches man knowledge-- does He not discipline? 10He who chastens the nations, will He not rebuke, Even He who teaches man knowledge?
11The LORD knows man's thoughts; they are meaningless. 11The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are a mere breath.
12 LORD, happy is the man You discipline and teach from Your law 12Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O LORD, And whom You teach out of Your law;
13to give him relief from troubled times until a 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.
14The LORD will not forsake His people or abandon His heritage, 14For the LORD will not abandon His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
15for justice will again be righteous, 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 stands up for me against the wicked? Who takes a stand for me against evildoers? 16Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness?
17If the LORD had not been my helper, I would soon rest in the silence of death. 17If the LORD had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
18If I say, "My foot is slipping," Your faithful love will support me, LORD. 18If I should say, "My foot has slipped," Your lovingkindness, O LORD, will hold me up.
19When I am filled with cares, Your comfort brings me joy. 19When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul.
20Can a corrupt throne-- one that creates trouble by law-- become Your ally? 20Can a throne of destruction be allied with You, One which devises mischief by decree?
21They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death. 21They band themselves together against the life of the righteous And condemn the innocent to death.
22But the LORD is my refuge; my God is the rock of my protection. 22But the LORD has been my stronghold, And my God the rock of my refuge.
23He will pay them back for their sins and destroy them for their evil. The LORD our God will destroy them. 23He has brought back their wickedness upon them And will destroy them in their evil; The LORD our God will destroy them.
