1. The Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: the God of revenge hath acted freely.
2. Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3. How long shall sinners, O Lord: how long shall sinners glory?
4. Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: shall all speak who work injustice?
5. Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: and they have afflicted thy inheritance.
6. They have slain the widow and the stranger: and they have murdered the fatherless.
7. And they have said: The Lord shall not see: neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
8. Understand, ye senseless among the people: and, you fools, be wise at last.
9. He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?
10. He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: he that teacheth man knowledge?
11. The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, that they are vain.
12. Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: and shalt teach him out of thy law.
