1 O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth. | C | TOSK |
2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud. | C | TOSK |
3 How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked exult? | C | TOSK |
4 They pour out arrogant words; all workers of iniquity boast. | C | TOSK |
5 They crush Your people, O LORD; they oppress Your heritage. | C | TOSK |
6 They kill the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless. | C | TOSK |
7 They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.” | C | TOSK |
8 Take notice, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you be wise? | C | TOSK |
9 He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see? | C | TOSK |
10 He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge? | C | TOSK |
11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile. | IP | C | TOSK |
12 Blessed is the man You discipline, O LORD, and teach from Your law, | C | TOSK |
13 to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked. | C | TOSK |
14 For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage. | C | TOSK |
15 Surely judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it. | C | TOSK |
16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity? | C | TOSK |
17 Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence. | C | TOSK |
18 If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me. | C | TOSK |
19 When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul. | C | TOSK |
20 Can a corrupt throne be Your ally—one devising mischief by decree? | C | TOSK |
21 They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death. | C | TOSK |
22 But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge. | C | TOSK |
23 He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness. The LORD our God will destroy them. | C | TOSK |
