Rise! Yahweh! in thine anger, Lift thyself up, because of the haughty outbursts of mine adversaries, Stir up for me the justice thou hast commanded:

Let the wrong of the lawless, I pray thee, come to an end, and establish thou him that is righteous, - for, a trier of hearts and reins, is God the righteous one.

But, for himself, hath he made ready the weapons so deadly, His arrows, he, so fiery, would make:

For thou hast executed my right and my cause, Thou hast sat on the throne, judging righteously:

But, Yahweh, unto times age-abiding, will sit, Ready for judgment, is his throne;

Thus be Yahweh a refuge for the crushed one, a refuge for times of destitution:

Thus let them who know thy Name, put confidence in thee, that thou hast not forsaken the searchers for thee, O Yahweh.

When he was making inquisition for blood, of them, had he remembrance, he forgat not the outcry of the oppressed.

For, not always, shall the needy, be forgotten, - nor, the hope of the oppressed, perish for ever.

Appoint, O Yahweh, a terror for them, - Let the nations know that they are men. Selah.

For the lawless one hath boasted over the longing of his soul, and, the robber, hath blasphemed Yahweh.

His ways are firm at all times, On high, are thy righteous regulations, out of his sight, As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them:

He abideth in the lurking-place of villages, In the hiding-places, he murdereth the innocent, - His eyes, for the unfortunate, are on the watch:

Thou hast seen! For, thou, mischief and misery, dost discern, to requite with thine own hand, Unto thee, doth, the unfortunate one, give himself up, To the fatherless, thou thyself, hast become a helper.

Shatter thou the arm of the lawless one, And, as for the wrongful, wilt thou not enquire for his lawlessness - wilt thou not find it ?

For lo! the lawless, bend the bow They have fixed their arrow upon the string, To shoot in the darkness at the upright in heart:

Yahweh, is in his holy temple As for Yahweh, in the heavens, is his throne, His eyes, behold - His eyelashes test the sons of men.

For righteous is Yahweh Righteousness, he loveth, the upright, shall behold his face.

O save Yahweh, for the man of lovingkindness, is no more, for the faithful, have vanished, from among the sons of men.

I will sing to Yahweh, for he hath dealt beautifully with me.
