Dual Panel1O Lord <03068>, the God <0410> who avenges <05360>! O God <0410> who avenges <05360>, reveal <03313> your splendor <03313>!
2Rise up <05375>, O judge <08199> of the earth <0776>! Pay back <07725> the proud <01343>!
3O Lord <03068>, how <04970> long <05704> will the wicked <07563>, how <04970> long <05704> will the wicked <07563> celebrate <05937>?
4They spew <05042> out threats and speak <01696> defiantly <06277>; all <03605> the evildoers <06466> boast <0205>.
5O Lord <03068>, they crush <01792> your people <05971>; they oppress <06031> the nation that belongs to you <05159>.
6They kill <02026> the widow <0490> and the one residing outside his native land <01616>, and they murder <07523> the fatherless <03490>.
7Then they say <0559>, “The Lord <03050> does not <03808> see <07200> this; the God <0430> of Jacob <03290> does not <03808> take notice <0995> of it.”
8Take notice <0995> of this, you ignorant <01197> people <05971>! You fools <03684>, when <04970> will you ever understand <07919>?
9Does the one who makes <05193> the human ear <0241> not <03808> hear <08085>? Does the one who forms <03335> the human eye <05869> not <03808> see <05027>?
10Does the one who disciplines <03256> the nations <01471> not <03808> punish <03198>? He is the one who imparts <03925> knowledge <01847> to human beings <0120>!
11The Lord <03068> knows <03045> that <03588> peoples <0120>’ thoughts <04284> are morally bankrupt <01892>.
12How blessed <0835> is the one <01397> whom <0834> you instruct <03256>, O Lord <03050>, the one whom you teach <03925> from your law <08451>,
13in order to protect <03738> him from times <03117> of trouble <07451>, until <05704> the wicked <07563> are destroyed <07845>.
14Certainly <03588> the Lord <03068> does not <03808> forsake <05203> his people <05971>; he does not <03808> abandon <05800> the nation that belongs to him <05159>.
15For <03588> justice <04941> will prevail <07725> <06664>, and all <03605> the morally upright <03820> <03477> will be vindicated <0310>.
16Who <04310> will rise <06965> up to defend me against <05973> the wicked <07489>? Who <04310> will stand <03320> up for me against <05973> the evildoers <0205> <06466>?
17If <03884> the Lord <03068> had not helped <05833> me, I would have laid down <07931> in the silence <01745> of death.
18If <0518> I say <0559>, “My foot <07272> is slipping <04131>,” your loyal love <02617>, O Lord <03068>, supports <05582> me.
19When worries <08312> threaten <07130> to overwhelm <07230> me, your soothing touch <08575> makes <08173> me <05315> happy <08173>.
20Cruel <01942> rulers <03678> are not your allies <02266>, those who make <03335> oppressive <05999> laws <02706>.
21They conspire <01413> against <05921> the blameless <06662> <05315>, and condemn <07561> to death <01818> the innocent <05355>.
22But the Lord <03068> will protect <04869> me, and my God <0430> will shelter <04268> me.
23He will pay <07725> them back <07725> for <05921> their sin <0205>. He will destroy <06789> them because of their evil <07451>; the Lord <03068> our God <0430> will destroy <06789> them.
