The LORD Will Not Forget His People

¹God of vengeance--Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.+ ²Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.+ ³Till when do the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?+ ⁴They utter--they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.+ ⁵Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.+ ⁶Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.+ ⁷And they say, `Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.'+ ⁸Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?+ ⁹He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?+ ¹⁰He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge is Jehovah.+ ¹¹He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.+ ¹²O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,+ ¹³To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.+ ¹⁴For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.+ ¹⁵For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart,+ ¹⁶Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity?+ ¹⁷Unless Jehovah were a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.+ ¹⁸If I have said, `My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.+ ¹⁹In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.+ ²⁰Is a throne of mischief joined with Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?+ ²¹They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.+ ²²And Jehovah is for a high place to me, And my God is for a rock--my refuge,+ ²³And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off!+
