1 God of vengeance—YHWH! God of vengeance, shine forth.10 He who is instructing nations, does He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] YHWH.11 He knows the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.12 O the blessedness of the man || Whom You instruct, O YAH, || And teach him out of Your law,13 To give rest to him from days of evil, || While a pit is dug for the wicked.14 For YHWH does not leave His people, || And does not forsake His inheritance.15 For judgment turns back to righteousness, || And after it all the upright of heart.16 Who rises up for me with evildoers? Who stations himself for me with workers of iniquity?17 Unless YHWH [were] a help to me, || My soul had almost inhabited silence.18 If I have said, “My foot has slipped,” || Your kindness, O YHWH, supports me.19 In the abundance of my thoughts within me, || Your comforts delight my soul.2 Be lifted up, judging the earth, || Send back a repayment on the proud.20 Is a throne of mischief joined [with] You? A framer of perverseness by statute?21 They decree against the soul of the righteous, || And declare innocent blood wicked.22 And YHWH is for a high place to me, || And my God [is] for a rock—my refuge,23 And He turns back their iniquity on them, || And in their wickedness cuts them off; Our God YHWH cuts them off!3 Until when do the wicked, O YHWH—Until when do the wicked exult?4 They utter—they speak arrogance, || All working iniquity boast [about] themselves.5 Your people, O YHWH, they bruise, || And they afflict Your inheritance.6 They slay widow and sojourner, || And they murder fatherless ones.7 And they say, “YAH does not see, || And the God of Jacob does not consider.”8 Consider, you brutish among the people, || And you foolish, when do you act wisely?9 He who plants the ear, does He not hear? He who forms the eye, does He not see?
