23 verses
1O Lord O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!
2Rise up, O Judge of the earth; Render punishment to the proud.
3Lord How long will the wicked triumph?
4They utter speech, and speak insolent things; All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.
5They break in pieces Your people, O Lord And afflict Your heritage.
6They slay the widow and the stranger, And murder the fatherless.
7Yet they say, “The Lord Nor does the God of Jacob understand.”

13That You may give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked.
14For the Lord Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
15But judgment will return to righteousness, And all the upright in heart will follow it.
16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

19In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.
20Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, Have fellowship with You?
21They gather together against the life of the righteous, And condemn innocent blood.
22But the Lord And my God the rock of my refuge.
23He has brought on them their own iniquity, And shall cut them off in their own wickedness; The Lord
