1 O π€π€π€
π€, Δl of vengeance;
O Δl of vengeance, shine forth!
2 Raise Yourself up, O Judge of the earth;
Render punishment to the proud.
3 π€π€π€
π€, how long are the wicked,
How long are the wicked going to exult?
4 They pour forth,
They speak arrogantly;
All the workers of wickedness boast in themselves.
5 They crush Your people, O π€π€π€
π€,
And they afflict Your inheritance.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger,
And murder the fatherless.
7 Yet they say, \"Yah does not see,
And the Elohim of YaβaqoαΈ pays no heed.\"
8 Take heed, you senseless among the people;
And you fools, when would you become wise?
9 He who planted the ear, does He not hear?
He who formed the eye, does He not see?
10 He who disciplines the nations,
Does He not reprove -
The One teaching man knowledge?
11 π€π€π€
π€ knows the thoughts of man,
That they are a breath.
12 BaruαΈ΅ is the man You discipline, O Yah,
And instruct out of Your Torah,
13 To give him rest from the days of evil,
Until the pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For π€π€π€
π€ does not leave His people,
Nor does He forsake His inheritance.
15 For Right-Ruling returns to righteousness,
And all the upright in heart follow it.
16 Who would rise up for me against evil-doers?
Who would stand up for me against workers of wickedness?
17 If π€π€π€
π€ had not been my help,
My being would soon have settled in silence.
18 When I said, \"My foot has slipped,\"
Your kindness, O π€π€π€
π€, supported me.
19 When anxiety was great within me,
Your comforts delighted my being.
20 Would a throne of destruction,
Which devises trouble by law,
Be joined with You?
21 They band together against the life of the righteous,
And declare innocent blood wicked.
22 But π€π€π€
π€ is my defence,
And my Elohim the rock of my refuge,
23 And brings back on them their own wickedness,
And cuts them off in their own wickedness;
π€π€π€
π€ our Elohim cuts them off.
