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