[1] Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs, You God to whom vengeance
belongs, shine forth. [2] Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the
proud what they deserve. [3] Yahweh, how long will the wicked, How long
will the wicked triumph? [4] They pour out arrogant words. All the
evil-doers boast. [5] They break your people in pieces, Yahweh, And
afflict your heritage. [6] They kill the widow and the alien, And murder
the fatherless. [7] They say, "Yah will not see, Neither will Jacob`s
God consider." [8] Consider, you senseless among the people; You fools,
when will you be wise? [9] He who implanted the ear, won`t he hear? He
who formed the eye, won`t he see? [10] He who disciplines the nations,
won`t he punish? He who teaches man knows. [11] Yahweh knows the
thoughts of man, That they are futile. [12] Blessed is the man whom you
discipline, Yah, And teach out of your law; [13] That you may give him
rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked.
[14] For Yahweh won`t reject his people, Neither will he forsake his
inheritance. [15] For judgment will return to righteousness. All the
upright in heart shall follow it. [16] Who will rise up for me against the
wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evil-doers? [17] Unless
Yahweh had been my help, My soul would have soon lived in silence. [18]
When I said, "My foot is slipping!" Your lovingkindness, Yahweh, held me
up. [19] In the multitude of my thoughts within me, Your comforts
delight my soul. [20] Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with
you, Which brings about mischief by statute? [21] They gather themselves
together against the soul of the righteous, And condemn the
innocent blood. [22] But Yahweh has been my high tower, My God, the rock
of my refuge. [23] He has brought on them their own iniquity, And will
cut them off in their own wickedness. Yahweh, our God, will cut them
off. Psalm 95
