NASB Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New American Standard Bible 1995English Standard Version
1O LORD, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth!1O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth!
2Rise up, O Judge of the earth, Render recompense to the proud.2Rise up, O judge of the earth; repay to the proud what they deserve!
3How long shall the wicked, O LORD, How long shall the wicked exult?3O LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?
4They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly; All who do wickedness vaunt themselves.4They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers boast.
5They crush Your people, O LORD, And afflict Your heritage.5They crush your people, O LORD, and afflict your heritage.
6They slay the widow and the stranger And murder the orphans.6They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless;
7They have said, "The LORD does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed."7and they say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive.”
8Pay heed, you senseless among the people; And when will you understand, stupid ones?8Understand, O dullest of the 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?9He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see?
10He who chastens the nations, will He not rebuke, Even He who teaches man knowledge?10He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge—
11The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are a mere breath.11the LORD—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.
12Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O LORD, And whom You teach out of Your law;12Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O LORD, and whom you teach out of your law,
13That You may grant him relief from the days of adversity, Until a pit is dug for the wicked.13to give him rest from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14For the LORD will not abandon His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.14For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage;
15For judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart will follow it.15for justice will return to the 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 rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up 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 help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.
18If I should say, "My foot has slipped," Your lovingkindness, O LORD, will hold me up.18When I thought, “My foot slips,” your steadfast love, O LORD, held me up.
19When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul.19When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.
20Can a throne of destruction be allied with You, One which devises mischief by decree?20Can wicked rulers be allied with you, those who frame injustice by statute?
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 has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.
23He has brought back their wickedness upon them And will destroy them in their evil; The LORD our God will destroy them.23He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the LORD our God will wipe them out.
