KJV ¹ O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.

VULC ¹ Laus cantici ipsi David. [Venite, exsultemus Domino ;
jubilemus Deo salutari nostro ;

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

VULC ² præoccupemus faciem ejus in confessione,
et in psalmis jubilemus ei :

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

VULC ³ quoniam Deus magnus Dominus,
et rex magnus super omnes deos.

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

VULC ⁴ Quia in manu ejus sunt omnes fines terræ,
et altitudines montium ipsius sunt ;

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

VULC ⁵ quoniam ipsius est mare, et ipse fecit illud,
et siccam manus ejus formaverunt.

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

VULC ⁶ Venite, adoremus, et procidamus,
et ploremus ante Dominum qui fecit nos :

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

VULC ⁷ quia ipse est Dominus Deus noster,
et nos populus pascuæ ejus, et oves manus ejus.

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

VULC ⁸ Hodie si vocem ejus audieritis,
nolite obdurare corda vestra

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

VULC ⁹ sicut in irritatione,
secundum diem tentationis in deserto,
ubi tentaverunt me patres vestri :
probaverunt me, et viderunt opera mea.

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

VULC ¹⁰ Quadraginta annis offensus fui generationi illi,
et dixi : Semper hi errant corde.

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

VULC ¹¹ Et isti non cognoverunt vias meas :
ut juravi in ira mea :
Si introibunt in requiem meam.]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

KJV 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.
