The Loʀᴅ Implored to Avenge His People.
Render recompense CPs 31:23to the proud.
3 How long shall the wicked, O Loʀᴅ,
How long shall the AJob 20:5wicked exult?
All who do wickedness BPs 10:3; 52:1vaunt themselves.
5 They AIs 3:15crush Your people, O Loʀᴅ,
And BPs 79:1afflict Your heritage.
And murder the orphans.
Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed.”
8 Pay heed, you APs 92:6senseless among the people;
And when will you understand, APs 92:6stupid ones?
He who formed the eye, 1Or candoes He not see?
Even He who BJob 35:11; Is 28:26teaches man knowledge?
11 The Loʀᴅ AJob 11:11; 1 Cor 3:20knows the thoughts of man,
1Or ForThat they are a mere breath.
12 Blessed is the man whom ADeut 8:5; Job 5:17; Ps 119:71; Prov 3:11, 12; Heb 12:5, 6You chasten, O 1Heb YᴀʜLoʀᴅ,
And BPs 119:171whom You teach out of Your law;
Until CPs 9:15; 55:23a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For A1 Sam 12:22; Lam 3:31; Rom 11:2the Loʀᴅ will not abandon His people,
Nor will He BPs 37:28forsake His inheritance.
15 For 1I.e. administration of justiceAPs 97:2; Is 42:3; Mic 7:9judgment 2Lit will return to righteousnesswill again be righteous,
And all the upright in heart 3Lit will be after itwill follow it.
16 Who will ANum 10:35; Is 28:21; 33:10stand up for me against evildoers?
Who will take his stand for me BPs 17:13; 59:2against those who do wickedness?
17 If APs 124:1, 2the Loʀᴅ had not been my help,
My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
18 If I should say, “APs 38:16; 73:2My foot has slipped,”
Your lovingkindness, O Loʀᴅ, will hold me up.
19 When my anxious thoughts 1Or are manymultiply within me,
Your AIs 57:18; 66:13consolations delight my soul.
One BPs 50:16; 58:2which devises 2Or trouble, misfortunemischief by decree?
And BEx 23:7; Ps 106:38; Prov 17:15; Matt 27:4condemn 2Lit innocent bloodthe innocent to death.
22 But the Loʀᴅ has been my APs 9:9; 59:9stronghold,
And my God the BPs 18:2; 71:7rock of my refuge.
23 He has APs 7:16; 140:9, 11brought back their wickedness upon them
And will 1Or silenceBGen 19:15destroy them in their evil;
The Loʀᴅ our God will 1Or silencedestroy them.
