The Lord is a God of vengeance! God of vengeance, shine out!

Stand up, judge of the earth, and pay back those who are proud what they deserve.

How long, Lord? How long will the wicked celebrate in triumph?

How long will you let them pour out their arrogant words? How long will these evil people go on boasting?

Lord, they crush your people; they oppress those you call your own.
6 Amahon meithai hole gamdang mi chule chaga ho athat gam un ahi.
They kill widows and foreigners; they murder orphans.
7 Amahon asei un, “Pakai in eive pouve chule, Israel Pathen in anasah poi”.
They say, “The Lord can't see what we're doing. Israel's God doesn't pay any attention to us.”

Take another look, you stupid people! Fools—when will you ever get the point?

Do you think that the one who punishes nations won't punish you too? Do you think that the one who teaches human beings knowledge doesn't know anything?
11 Pakai in mitin lunggel ahesoh kei e, imacha phatchomna neilou ahi ahesoh kei e.
The Lord knows the thoughts of human beings—he knows they are pointless.

Those you discipline are happy, Lord; those you teach from your Law.

You give them peace in days of trouble, until a pit is dug to trap the wicked.

For the Lord will not give up on his people; he will not abandon his own.

Who came to my defense against the wicked; who stood up for me against those who do evil?
17 Pakai in eina kithopi lou hile, keima thina lhankhuh mun a thipchet a ana kicholdo tading kahi.
If the Lord hadn't helped me, I would have soon gone down into the silence of the grave.
18 “Keima kalhutai” tin kakap jah in, O pakai nami ngailutna longlouchun eiphong dingin ahi.
I shouted out, “My foot's slipping!” and your trustworthy love, Lord, kept me from falling.
19 Keima lungdon na a kadim teng, nami lungmon nachun kinep nale kipa na eipe ji e.
When my mind was full of worries, you comforted me and encouraged me.
20 Dandih lou a natong lamkai ho chun Pakai kalang a pangding hi ati ngam nadiu vem?
Can unjust judges really be on your side, Lord, when their corrupt use of the law causes misery?
21 Themmo nabei ho dou din amaho akipun khom un mona neilou chungah thina chan in athepmo sah uve.
They work together to destroy good people; they condemn those who are innocent to death.
22 Ahin pakai ka Pathen hi kakisel na songpi kakulpi chu ahi.
But the Lord protects me like a fortress; my God is the rock that keeps me safe.
23 Pathen in migiloute achonset nau chu ale thuhding ahi. Achonset nau jeh a asuh gam ding ahi. Pakai I Pathen uvin asuh gam ding u ahi.
He will turn the wickedness of evil people back upon them; he will destroy them because of their sins; the Lord our God will destroy them.
