✧O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth. ✧2Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud. ✧3How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked exult? ✧4They pour out arrogant words; all workers of iniquity boast. ✧5They crush Your people, O LORD; they oppress Your heritage. ✧6They kill the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless. ✧7They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.” ✧8Take notice, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you be wise? ✧9He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see? ✧10He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge? ✧11The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile. ✧12Blessed is the man You discipline, O LORD, and teach from Your law, ✧13to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.

✧16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
✧17Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
✧18If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me.
✧19When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.
✧20Can a corrupt throne be Your ally— one devising mischief by decree?
✧21They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
✧22But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge.
✧23He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness. The LORD our God will destroy them.
