1 LORD, God of vengeance, 2Rise up, judge of the earth, 3LORD, how long shall the wicked, 4with their blustering arrogant words, 5crushing your people, LORD, 6murdering widows and strangers, 7They think that the LORD does not see, 8Take heed, you dullest of people; 9Is he deaf, who planted the ear? 10Can he who trains nations not punish them 11The LORD knows the thoughts of people, 12Happy are those whom you chasten, 13keeping them calm in the day of misfortune, 14For the LORD will not leave his people, 15For the righteous shall come to their rights, 16Who will rise up for me against those who do evil? 17Were it not for the help of the LORD, 18When I thought that my foot was slipping, 19When with cares my heart was crowded, 20Can corrupt justice be your ally, 21They assail the life of the righteous, 22But the LORD is my sure retreat, 23He will bring back their sin upon them,
