 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 O LORD, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth! | 1 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. | 1 O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, appear! | 1 Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth. | 1 O �God of vengeances, Jehovah, �God of vengeances, shine forth; | 2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth, Render recompense to the proud. | 2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. | 2 Arise, O Judge of the earth. Give arrogant people what they deserve. | 2 Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve. | 2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud. | 3 How long shall the wicked, O LORD, How long shall the wicked exult? | 3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? | 3 How long, O LORD, will wicked people triumph? How long? | 3 Yahweh, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph? | 3 How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph? | 4 They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly; All who do wickedness vaunt themselves. | 4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? | 4 They ramble. They speak arrogantly. All troublemakers brag about themselves. | 4 They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast. | 4 How long shall they utter and speak insolence all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? | 5 They crush Your people, O LORD, And afflict Your heritage. | 5 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. | 5 They crush your people, O LORD. They make those who belong to you suffer. | 5 They break your people in pieces, Yahweh, and afflict your heritage. | 5 They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance; | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 They slay the widow and the stranger And murder the orphans. | 6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. | 6 They kill widows and foreigners, and they murder orphans. | 6 They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless. | 6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless, | 7 They have said, "The LORD does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed." | 7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. | 7 They say, "The LORD doesn't see it. The God of Jacob doesn't even pay attention to it." | 7 They say, "Yah will not see, neither will Jacob's God consider." | 7 And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard it. | 8 Pay heed, you senseless among the people; And when will you understand, stupid ones? | 8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? | 8 Pay attention, you stupid people! When will you become wise, you fools? | 8 Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise? | 8 Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise? | 9 He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see? | 9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? | 9 God created ears. Do you think he can't hear? He formed eyes. Do you think he can't see? | 9 He who implanted the ear, won't he hear? He who formed the eye, won't he see? | 9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see? | 10 He who chastens the nations, will He not rebuke, Even He who teaches man knowledge? | 10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? | 10 He disciplines nations. Do you think he can't punish? He teaches people. Do you think he doesn't know anything? | 10 He who disciplines the nations, won't he punish? He who teaches man knows. | 10 He that instructeth the nations, shall not he correct he that teacheth man knowledge? | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are a mere breath. | 11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. | 11 The LORD knows that people's thoughts are pointless. | 11 Yahweh knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile. | 11 Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. | 12 Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O LORD, And whom You teach out of Your law; | 12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law; | 12 O LORD, blessed is the person whom you discipline and instruct from your teachings. | 12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your law; | 12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law; | 13 That You may grant him relief from the days of adversity, Until a pit is dug for the wicked. | 13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. | 13 You give him peace and quiet from times of trouble while a pit is dug to trap wicked people. | 13 that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked. | 13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked. | 14 For the LORD will not abandon His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance. | 14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. | 14 The LORD will never desert his people or abandon those who belong to him. | 14 For Yahweh won't reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. | 14 For Jehovah will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance; | 15 For judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart will follow it. | 15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. | 15 The decisions of judges will again become fair, and everyone whose motives are decent will pursue justice. | 15 For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it. | 15 For judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 16 Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness? | 16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? | 16 Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Who will stand by my side against troublemakers? | 16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers? | 16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity? | 17 If the LORD had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence. | 17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. | 17 If the LORD had not come to help me, my soul would have quickly fallen silent [in death]. | 17 Unless Yahweh had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence. | 17 If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. | 18 If I should say, "My foot has slipped," Your lovingkindness, O LORD, will hold me up. | 18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. | 18 When I said, "My feet are slipping," your mercy, O LORD, continued to hold me up. | 18 When I said, "My foot is slipping!" Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up. | 18 When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up. | 19 When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul. | 19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. | 19 When I worried about many things, your assuring words soothed my soul. | 19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul. | 19 In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul. | 20 Can a throne of destruction be allied with You, One which devises mischief by decree? | 20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? | 20 Are wicked rulers who use the law to do unlawful things able to be your partners? | 20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute? | 20 Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law? | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 21 They band themselves together against the life of the righteous And condemn the innocent to death. | 21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. | 21 They join forces to take the lives of righteous people. They condemn innocent people to death. | 21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. | 21 They band together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood. | 22 But the LORD has been my stronghold, And my God the rock of my refuge. | 22 But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. | 22 The LORD has become my stronghold. My God has become my rock of refuge. | 22 But Yahweh has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge. | 22 But Jehovah will be my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge. | 23 He has brought back their wickedness upon them And will destroy them in their evil; The LORD our God will destroy them. | 23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off. | 23 He has turned their own wickedness against them. He will destroy them because of their sins. The LORD our God will destroy them. | 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. | 23 And he will bring upon them their iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil: Jehovah our God will cut them off. |
