The Lord will not forget his people

1
Yahweh, you are able to get revenge on your enemies. So show them that you are going to punish them!
2
You are the one who judges all people on the earth; so arise and give them what they deserve.
3
Yahweh, how long will those wicked people be glad? It is not right that they continue being glad!
4
They do evil things, and they boast about doing them; how long will they be allowed to continue doing that?
5
Yahweh, it is as though those wicked people were crushing us, your people; they oppress the nation that you have made and that belongs to you alone.
6
They murder widows and orphans and people from other countries who think it is safe to live in our land.
7
Those wicked people say, “Yahweh does not see anything; the God whom those Israelites worship does not see the evil things that we do.”
8
You evil people who rule Israel, you are foolish and stupid; when will you become wise?
9
God made our ears; do you think that he cannot hear what you say? He created our eyes; do you think that he cannot see the evil things that you do?
10
He corrects the leaders of other nations; do you think that he will not punish you? He is the one who knows everything; why do you think that he does not know what you do?
11
Yahweh knows everything that people are thinking; he knows that what they think is evil and useless.
12
Yahweh, how fortunate are those who allow you to discipline them, those who want you to teach them your laws.
13
When those people have had troubles, you cause those troubles to cease, and someday it will be as though you will dig pits for the wicked people, and that they will fall into those pits and die.
14
Yahweh will not abandon his people; he will not desert those who belong to him.
15
Someday judges will decide matters fairly for people, and all honest people will be pleased about that.
16
But when wicked people oppressed me, no one defended me! No one stood up to testify for me against those evil people.
17
If Yahweh had not helped me at that time, I would have been executed; my life would have gone to the place where dead people say nothing.
18
I said, “I am falling into disaster,” but, Yahweh, you held me up by faithfully loving me.
19
Whenever I am very worried, you comfort me and cause me to be happy.
20
You have nothing to do with wicked judges, those who establish laws that allow people to do what is not right.
21
They plan to get rid of righteous people, and they declare that innocent people must be executed.
22
But Yahweh has become like my fortress; my God is like a huge rock on which I am protected.
23
He will punish those wicked leaders in return for the things that they have done; he will get rid of them because of the sins that they have committed; yes, Yahweh our God will wipe them out.

The Lord will not forget his people

1
LORD, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.
2
Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.
3
LORD, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?
4
They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.
5
They break your people in pieces, LORD, and afflict your heritage.
6
They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.
7
They say, “The LORD 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
The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
12
Blessed is the man whom you discipline, LORD, 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 the LORD 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 evildoers?
17
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.
18
When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your loving kindness, LORD, 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 the LORD 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. The LORD, our God, will cut them off.
