1. God of vengeance -- Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.
|
1. O LORD H3068 God H410 , to whom vengeance H5360 belongeth ; O God H410 , to whom vengeance H5360 belongeth , show thyself H3313 .
|
|
2. Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.
|
2. Lift up thyself H5375 , thou judge H8199 of the earth H776 : render H7725 a reward H1576 to H5921 the proud H1343 .
|
|
3. Till when do the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?
|
3. LORD H3068 , how long H5704 H4970 shall the wicked H7563 , how long H5704 H4970 shall the wicked H7563 triumph H5937 ?
|
|
4. They utter -- they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.
|
4. How long shall they utter H5042 and speak H1696 hard things H6277 ? and all H3605 the workers H6466 of iniquity H205 boast themselves H559 ?
|
|
5. Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.
|
5. They break in pieces H1792 thy people H5971 , O LORD H3068 , and afflict H6031 thine heritage H5159 .
|
|
6. Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.
|
6. They slay H2026 the widow H490 and the stranger H1616 , and murder H7523 the fatherless H3490 .
|
|
7. And they say, `Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.`
|
7. Yet they say H559 , The LORD H3050 shall not H3808 see H7200 , neither H3808 shall the God H430 of Jacob H3290 regard H995 it .
|
|
8. Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?
|
8. Understand H995 , ye brutish H1197 among the people H5971 : and ye fools H3684 , when H4970 will ye be wise H7919 ?
|
|
9. He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?
|
9. He that planted H5193 the ear H241 , shall he not H3808 hear H8085 ? he that formed H3335 the eye H5869 , shall he not H3808 see H5027 ?
|
|
10. He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge is Jehovah.
|
10. He that chastiseth H3256 the heathen H1471 , shall not H3808 he correct H3198 ? he that teacheth H3925 man H120 knowledge H1847 , shall not he know ?
|
|
11. He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
|
11. The LORD H3068 knoweth H3045 the thoughts H4284 of man H120 , that H3588 they H1992 are vanity H1892 .
|
|
12. O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,
|
12. Blessed H835 is the man H1397 whom H834 thou chastenest H3256 , O LORD H3050 , and teachest H3925 him out of thy law H4480 H8451 ;
|
|
13. To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.
|
13. That thou mayest give him rest H8252 from the days H4480 H3117 of adversity H7451 , until H5704 the pit H7845 be digged H3738 for the wicked H7563 .
|
|
14. For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.
|
14. For H3588 the LORD H3068 will not H3808 cast off H5203 his people H5971 , neither H3808 will he forsake H5800 his inheritance H5159 .
|
|
15. For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart,
|
15. But H3588 judgment H4941 shall return H7725 unto H5704 righteousness H6664 : and all H3605 the upright H3477 in heart H3820 shall follow H310 it.
|
|
16. Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity?
|
16. Who H4310 will rise up H6965 for me against H5973 the evildoers H7489 ? or who H4310 will stand up H3320 for me against H5973 the workers H6466 of iniquity H205 ?
|
|
17. Unless Jehovah were a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.
|
17. Unless H3884 the LORD H3068 had been my help H5833 , my soul H5315 had almost H4592 dwelt H7931 in silence H1745 .
|
|
18. If I have said, `My foot hath slipped,` Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.
|
18. When H518 I said H559 , My foot H7272 slippeth H4131 ; thy mercy H2617 , O LORD H3068 , held me up H5582 .
|
|
19. In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
|
19. In the multitude H7230 of my thoughts H8312 within H7130 me thy comforts H8575 delight H8173 my soul H5315 .
|
|
20. Is a throne of mischief joined with Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?
|
20. Shall the throne H3678 of iniquity H1942 have fellowship H2266 with thee , which frameth H3335 mischief H5999 by H5921 a law H2706 ?
|
|
21. They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.
|
21. They gather themselves together H1413 against H5921 the soul H5315 of the righteous H6662 , and condemn H7561 the innocent H5355 blood H1818 .
|
|
22. And Jehovah is for a high place to me, And my God is for a rock -- my refuge,
|
22. But the LORD H3068 is H1961 my defense H4869 ; and my God H430 is the rock H6697 of my refuge H4268 .
|
|
23. And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off!
|
23. And he shall bring H7725 upon H5921 them H853 their own iniquity H205 , and shall cut them off H6789 in their own wickedness H7451 ; yea , the LORD H3068 our God H430 shall cut them off H6789 .
