¹ LORD, God of vengeance — God of vengeance, appear. ⓐ

² Rise up, Judge of the earth; repay the proud what they deserve. ⓑ

³ LORD, how long will the wicked — how long will the wicked gloat? ⓒ

⁴ They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers boast. ⓓ

⁵ LORD, they crush Your people; they afflict Your heritage. ⓔ

⁶ They kill the widow and the foreigner and murder the fatherless. ⓕ

⁷ They say, “The LORD doesn’t see it. The God of Jacob doesn’t pay attention.” ⓖ

⁸ Pay attention, you stupid people! Fools, when will you be wise? ⓗ

⁹ Can the One who shaped the ear not hear, the One who formed the eye not see? ⓘ

¹⁰ The One who instructs nations, the One who teaches man knowledge — does He not discipline? ⓙ

¹¹ The LORD knows man’s thoughts; they are meaningless. ⓚ

¹² LORD, happy is the man You discipline and teach from Your law ⓛ

¹³ to give him relief from troubled times until a pit is dug for the wicked. ⓜ

¹⁴ The LORD will not forsake His people or abandon His heritage, ⓝ

¹⁵ for justice will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow [1] it. ⓞ

¹⁶ Who stands up for me against the wicked? Who takes a stand for me against evildoers? ⓟ

¹⁷ If the LORD had not been my helper, I would soon rest in the silence of death. ⓠ

¹⁸ If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your faithful love will support me, LORD. ⓡ

¹⁹ When I am filled with cares, Your comfort brings me joy. ⓢ

²⁰ Can a corrupt throne — one that creates trouble by law — become Your ally? ⓣ

²¹ They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death. ⓤ

²² But the LORD is my refuge; my God is the rock of my protection. ⓥ

²³ He will pay them back for their sins and destroy them for their evil. The LORD our God will destroy them. ⓦ
