- O LORD, the God who avenges, O God who avenges, shine forth.
- Rise up, O Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.
- How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked be jubilant?
- They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers are full of boasting.
- They crush your people, O LORD; they oppress your inheritance.
|
- O LORD, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth!
- Rise up, O Judge of the earth, Render recompense to the proud.
- How long shall the wicked, O LORD, How long shall the wicked exult?
- They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly; All who do wickedness vaunt themselves.
- They crush Your people, O LORD, And afflict Your heritage.
|
- They slay the widow and the alien; they murder the fatherless.
- They say, "The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed."
- Take heed, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?
- Does he who implanted the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?
- Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches man lack knowledge?
|
- They slay the widow and the stranger And murder the orphans.
- They have said, "The LORD does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed."
- Pay heed, you senseless among the people; And when will you understand, stupid ones?
- He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see?
- He who chastens the nations, will He not rebuke, Even He who teaches man knowledge?
|
- The LORD knows the thoughts of man; he knows that they are futile.
|
- The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are a mere breath.
