The LORD Will Not Forget His People

¹O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth.+ ²Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud.+ ³How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked exult?+ ⁴They pour out arrogant words; all workers of iniquity boast.+ ⁵They crush Your people, O LORD; they oppress Your heritage.+ ⁶They kill the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.+ ⁷They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.”+ ⁸Take notice, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you be wise?+ ⁹He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see?+ ¹⁰He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge?+ ¹¹The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.+ ¹²Blessed is the man You discipline, O LORD, and teach from Your law,+ ¹³to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.+ ¹⁴For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage.+ ¹⁵Surely judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.+ ¹⁶Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?+ ¹⁷Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.+ ¹⁸If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me.+ ¹⁹When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.+ ²⁰Can a corrupt throne be Your ally — one devising mischief by decree?+ ²¹They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.+ ²²But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge.+ ²³He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness. The LORD our God will destroy them.+
