**1 **O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.

**2 **Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.

**3 **LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?

**4 ***How long* shall they utter *and* speak hard things? *and* all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

**5 **They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.

**6 **They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.

**7 **Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard *it*.

**8 **Understand, ye brutish among the people: and *ye* fools, when will ye be wise?

**9 **He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

**10 **He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, *shall not he know*?

**11 **The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they *are* vanity.

**12 **Blessed *is* the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

**13 **That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

**14 **For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

**15 **But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

**16 **Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? *or* who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

**17 **Unless the LORD *had been* my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

**18 **When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.

**19 **In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.

**20 **Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

**21 **They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

**22 **But the LORD is my defence; and my God *is* the rock of my refuge.

**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.
