O
LORD
God,
to
whom
vengeance
belongeth;
O
God,
to
whom
vengeance
belongeth,
shew
thyself.
2
Lift
up
thyself,
thou
judge
of
the
earth:
render
a
reward
to
the
proud.
3
LORD,
how
long
shall
the
wicked,
how
long
shall
the
wicked
triumph?
4
[How
long]
shall
they
utter
[and]
speak
hard
things?
[and]
all
the
workers
of
iniquity
boast
themselves?
5
They
break
in
pieces
thy
people,
O
LORD,
and
afflict
thine
heritage.
6
They
slay
the
widow
and
the
stranger,
and
murder
the
fatherless.
7
Yet
they
say,
The
LORD
shall
not
see,
neither
shall
the
God
of
Jacob
regard
[it].
8
Understand,
ye
brutish
among
the
people:
and
[ye]
fools,
when
will
ye
be
wise?
9
He
that
planted
the
ear,
shall
he
not
hear?
he
that
formed
the
eye,
shall
he
not
see?
10
He
that
chastiseth
the
heathen,
shall
not
he
correct?
he
that
teacheth
man
knowledge,
[shall
not
he
know]?
11
The
LORD
knoweth
the
thoughts
of
man,
that
they
[are]
vanity.
12
Blessed
[is]
the
man
whom
thou
chastenest,
O
LORD,
and
teachest
him
out
of
thy
law;
13
That
thou
mayest
give
him
rest
from
the
days
of
adversity,
until
the
pit
be
digged
for
the
wicked.
14
For
the
LORD
will
not
cast
off
his
people,
neither
will
he
forsake
his
inheritance.
15
But
judgment
shall
return
unto
righteousness:
and
all
the
upright
in
heart
shall
follow
16
Who
will
rise
up
for
me
against
the
evildoers?
[or]
who
will
stand
up
for
me
against
the
workers
of
iniquity?
17
Unless
the
LORD
[had
been]
my
help,
my
soul
had
almost
dwelt
in
silence.
18
When
I
said,
My
foot
slippeth;
thy
mercy,
O
LORD,
held
me
19
In
the
multitude
of
my
thoughts
within
me
thy
comforts
delight
my
soul.
20
Shall
the
throne
of
iniquity
have
fellowship
with
thee,
which
frameth
mischief
by
a
law?
21
They
gather
themselves
together
against
the
soul
of
the
righteous,
and
condemn
the
innocent
blood.
22
But
the
LORD
is
my
defence;
and
my
God
[is]
the
rock
of
my
refuge.
23
And
he
shall
bring
upon
them
their
own
iniquity,
and
shall
cut
them
off
in
their
own
wickedness;
[yea],
the
LORD
our
God
shall
cut
them
off.
