| 1 | The Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: the God of revenge hath acted freely. |
| 2 | Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud. |
| 3 | How long shall sinners, O Lord: how long shall sinners glory? |
| 4 | Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: shall all speak who work injustice? |
| 5 | Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: and they have afflicted thy inheritance. |
| 6 | They have slain the widow and the stranger: and they have murdered the fatherless. |
| 7 | And they have said: The Lord shall not see: neither shall the God of Jacob understand. |
| 8 | Understand, ye senseless among the people: and, you fools, be wise at last. |
| 9 | He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider? |
| 10 | He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: he that teacheth man knowledge? |
| 11 | The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, that they are vain. |
| 12 | Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: and shalt teach him out of thy law. |
| 13 | That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: till a pit be dug for the wicked. |
| 14 | For the Lord will not cast off his people: neither will he forsake his own inheritance. |
| 15 | Until justice be turned into judgment: and they that are near it are all the upright in heart. |
| 16 | Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity? |
| 17 | Unless the Lord had been my helper, my soul had almost dwelt in hell. |
| 18 | If I said: My foot is moved: thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me. |
| 19 | According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, thy comforts have given joy to my soul. |
| 20 | Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, who framest labour in commandment? |
| 21 | They will hunt after the soul of the just, and will condemn innocent blood. |
| 22 | But the Lord is my refuge: and my God the help of my hope. |
| 23 | And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: the Lord our God will destroy them. |
