1 耶和华啊！ 你是伸冤的 神； 伸冤的 神啊！ 求你显出荣光。 2 审判大地的主啊！ 求你起来， 使骄傲的人得到应得的报应。 3 耶和华啊！ 恶人得意要到几时呢？恶人欢乐要到几时呢？ 4 他们不住地说骄傲的话， 所有作孽的人都夸耀自己。 5 耶和华啊！ 他们欺压你的子民， 苦害你的产业。 6 他们杀死寡妇和寄居的， 又杀害孤儿。 7 他们还说： "耶和华必看不见， 雅各的 神并不留意。" 8 民间的愚昧人哪！ 你们要留心； 愚顽人哪！ 你们要到几时才能明白呢？ 9 那造耳朵的， 自己不能听见吗？那造眼睛的， 自己不能看见吗？ 10 那管教万国的， 不施行审判吗？那教导人的， 自己没有知识吗？ 11 耶和华知道人的意念是虚妄的。 12 耶和华啊！ 你所管教， 用律法教导的人， 是有福的。 13 在患难的日子， 你使他得享平安， 直到为恶人所预备的坑挖好了。 14 因为耶和华必不丢弃他的子民， 必不离弃他的产业。 15 因为审判必再转向公义， 所有心里正直的都必顺从。 16 谁肯为我起来攻击作恶的人呢？谁肯为我挺身而起对抗作孽的人呢？ 17 如果不是耶和华帮助我， 我早就不在人世了（"我早就不在人世了"原文作"我早就住在寂静中"）。 18 我说： "我失了脚"， 耶和华啊！ 那时你的慈爱就扶持我。 19 我心里充满忧虑的时候， 你就安慰我， 使我的心欢乐。 20 凭着律例制造奸恶， 借着权位行毁灭的， 怎能和你相交呢？ 21 他们集结起来攻击义人， 把无辜的人定了死罪。 22 但耶和华作了我的高台， 我的 神作了我避难的磐石。 23 他必使他们的罪孽归到他们身上， 他必因他们的罪恶灭绝他们； 耶和华我们的 神必把他们灭绝。

1 God of vengeance -- Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.2 Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.3 Till when [do] the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?4 They utter -- they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.5 Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.6 Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.7 And they say, `Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.`8 Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?9 He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?10 He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] Jehovah.11 He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.12 O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,13 To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.14 For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.15 For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart,16 Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity?17 Unless Jehovah [were] a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.18 If I have said, `My foot hath slipped,` Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.19 In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.20 Is a throne of mischief joined [with] Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?21 They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.22 And Jehovah is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for a rock -- my refuge,23 And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off!
