- Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O LORD, And whom You teach out of Your law;
- That You may grant him relief from the days of adversity, Until a pit is dug for the wicked.
- For the LORD will not abandon His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
- For judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart will follow it.
- Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness?
|
- Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
- That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
- For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
- But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
- Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
|
- If the LORD had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
- If I should say, "My foot has slipped," Your lovingkindness, O LORD, will hold me up.
- When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul.
- Can a throne of destruction be allied with You, One which devises mischief by decree?
- They band themselves together against the life of the righteous And condemn the innocent to death.
|
- Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
- When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
- In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
- Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
- They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
|
- But the LORD has been my stronghold, And my God the rock of my refuge.
- He has brought back their wickedness upon them And will destroy them in their evil; The LORD our God will destroy them.
|
- But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
- 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.
