The LORD Will Not Forget His People

¹LORD, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.+ ²Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.+ ³LORD, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?+ ⁴They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.+ ⁵They break your people in pieces, LORD, and afflict your heritage.+ ⁶They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.+ ⁷They say, “The LORD will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.”+ ⁸Consider, you senseless amongst the people; you fools, when will you be wise?+ ⁹He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear? He who formed the eye, won’t he see?+ ¹⁰He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows.+ ¹¹The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.+ ¹²Blessed is the man whom you discipline, LORD, and teach out of your law,+ ¹³that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.+ ¹⁴For the LORD won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.+ ¹⁵For judgement will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.+ ¹⁶Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?+ ¹⁷Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.+ ¹⁸When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your loving kindness, LORD, held me up.+ ¹⁹In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.+ ²⁰Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?+ ²¹They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.+ ²²But the LORD has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.+ ²³He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. The LORD, our God, will cut them off.+
