World English Bible Classic
[1] Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs,
you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.
[2] Rise up, you judge of the earth.
Pay back the proud what they deserve.
[3] Yahweh, how long will the wicked,
how long will the wicked triumph?
[4] They pour out arrogant words.
All the evildoers boast.
[5] They break your people in pieces, Yahweh,
and afflict your heritage.
[6] They kill the widow and the alien,
and murder the fatherless.
[7] They say, “Yah will not see,
neither will Jacob’s God consider.”
[8] Consider, you senseless among the people;
you fools, when will you be wise?
[9] He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear?
He who formed the eye, won’t he see?
[10] He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish?
He who teaches man knows.
[11] Yahweh knows the thoughts of man,
that they are futile.
[12] Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah,
and teach out of your law,
[13] that you may give him rest from the days of adversity,
until the pit is dug for the wicked.
[14] For Yahweh won’t reject his people,
neither will he forsake his inheritance.
[15] For judgment will return to righteousness.
All the upright in heart shall follow it.
[16] Who will rise up for me against the wicked?
Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?
[17] Unless Yahweh had been my help,
my soul would have soon lived in silence.
[18] When I said, “My foot is slipping!”
Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up.
[19] In the multitude of my thoughts within me,
your comforts delight my soul.
[20] Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you,
which brings about mischief by statute?
[21] They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,
and condemn the innocent blood.
[22] But Yahweh has been my high tower,
my God, the rock of my refuge.
[23] He has brought on them their own iniquity,
and will cut them off in their own wickedness.
Yahweh, our God, will cut them off.
you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.
[2] Rise up, you judge of the earth.
Pay back the proud what they deserve.
[3] Yahweh, how long will the wicked,
how long will the wicked triumph?
[4] They pour out arrogant words.
All the evildoers boast.
[5] They break your people in pieces, Yahweh,
and afflict your heritage.
[6] They kill the widow and the alien,

[1] O Lord H3068 God, H410 to whom vengeance H5360 belongeth;§
O God, H410 to whom vengeance H5360 belongeth, shew H3313 (HiphImpv)§ thyself.
[2] Lift up H5375 (NiphImpv) thyself, thou judge H8199 (QalActPtc) of the earth: H776
Render H7725 (HiphImpv) a reward H1576 to the proud. H1343
[3] Lord, H3068 how long shall the wicked, H7563
How long shall the wicked H7563 triumph? H5937 (QalImpf)
[4] How long shall they utter H5042 (HiphImpf) and speak H1696 (PielImpf) hard things? H6277
And all the workers H6466 (QalActPtc) of iniquity H205 boast H559 (HithImpf) themselves?
[5] They break in pieces H1792 (PielImpf) thy people, H5971 O Lord, H3068
And afflict H6031 (PielImpf) thine heritage. H5159
[6] They slay H2026 (QalImpf) the widow H490 and the stranger, H1616
And murder H7523 (PielImpf) the fatherless. H3490
[7] Yet they say, H559 (QalImpf) The Lord H3050 shall not see, H7200 (QalImpf)
Neither shall the God H430 of Jacob H3290 regard H995 (QalImpf) it.
[8] Understand, H995 (QalImpv) ye brutish H1197 (QalActPtc) among the people: H5971
And ye fools, H3684 when will ye be wise? H7919 (HiphImpf)
[9] He that planted H5193 (QalActPtc) the ear, H241 shall he not hear? H8085 (QalImpf)
He that formed H3335 (QalActPtc) the eye, H5869 shall he not see? H5027 (HiphImpf)
[10] He that chastiseth H3256 (QalActPtc) the heathen, H1471 shall not he correct? H3198 (HiphImpf)
He that teacheth H3925 (PielPtc) man H120 knowledge, H1847 shall not he know?
[11] The Lord H3068 knoweth H3045 (QalActPtc) the thoughts H4284 of man, H120
That they are vanity. H1892
[12] Blessed H835 is the man H1397 whom thou chastenest, H3256 (PielImpf) O Lord, H3050
And teachest H3925 (PielImpf) him out of thy law; H8451
[13] That thou mayest give him rest H8252 (HiphInf) from the days H3117 of adversity, H7451
Until the pit H7845 be digged H3738 (NiphImpf) for the wicked. H7563
[14] For the Lord H3068 will not cast off H5203 (QalImpf) his people, H5971
Neither will he forsake H5800 (QalImpf) his inheritance. H5159
[15] But judgment H4941 shall return H7725 (QalImpf) unto righteousness: H6664
And all the upright H3477 in heart H3820 shall follow H310 it.§
[16] Who will rise up H6965 (QalImpf) for me against the evildoers? H7489 (HiphPtc)
Or who will stand up H3320 (HithImpf) for me against the workers H6466 (QalActPtc) of iniquity? H205
[17] Unless H3884 the Lord H3068 had been my help, H5833
My soul H5315 had almost H4592§ dwelt H7931 (QalPerf) in silence. H1745
[18] When I said, H559 (QalPerf) My foot H7272 slippeth; H4131 (QalPerf)
Thy mercy, H2617 O Lord, H3068 held me up. H5582 (QalImpf)
[19] In the multitude H7230 of my thoughts H8312 within H7130 me
Thy comforts H8575 delight H8173 (PilpImpf) my soul. H5315
[20] Shall the throne H3678 of iniquity H1942 have fellowship H2266 (PualImpf) with thee,
Which frameth H3335 (QalActPtc) mischief H5999 by a law? H2706
[21] They gather themselves together H1413 (QalImpf) against the soul H5315 of the righteous, H6662
And condemn H7561 (HiphImpf) the innocent H5355 blood. H1818
[22] But the Lord H3068 is my defence; H4869
And my God H430 is the rock H6697 of my refuge. H4268
[23] And he shall bring H7725 (HiphImpf) upon them their own iniquity, H205 and shall cut them off H6789 (HiphImpf) in their own wickedness; H7451
Yea, the Lord H3068 our God H430 shall cut them off. H6789 (HiphImpf)
O God, H410 to whom vengeance H5360 belongeth, shew H3313 (HiphImpv)§ thyself.
[2] Lift up H5375 (NiphImpv) thyself, thou judge H8199 (QalActPtc) of the earth: H776
Render H7725 (HiphImpv) a reward H1576 to the proud. H1343
[3] Lord, H3068 how long shall the wicked, H7563
How long shall the wicked H7563 triumph? H5937 (QalImpf)
[4] How long shall they utter H5042 (HiphImpf) and speak H1696 (PielImpf) hard things? H6277
And all the workers H6466 (QalActPtc) of iniquity H205 boast H559 (HithImpf) themselves?

Until the pit H7845 be digged H3738 (NiphImpf) for the wicked. H7563

Neither will he forsake H5800 (QalImpf) his inheritance. H5159
[15] But judgment H4941 shall return H7725 (QalImpf) unto righteousness: H6664
And all the upright H3477 in heart H3820 shall follow H310 it.§
[16] Who will rise up H6965 (QalImpf) for me against the evildoers? H7489 (HiphPtc)
Or who will stand up H3320 (HithImpf) for me against the workers H6466 (QalActPtc) of iniquity? H205
[17] Unless H3884 the Lord H3068 had been my help, H5833

Yea, the Lord H3068 our God H430 shall cut them off. H6789 (HiphImpf)
