Exalt thy selfe, O Iudge of the worlde, and render a reward to the proude.

3 עַד־מָתַי רְשָׁעִים ׀ יְהוָה עַד־מָתַי רְשָׁעִים יַעֲלֹֽזוּ׃

Lord how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?

4 יַבִּיעוּ יְדַבְּרוּ עָתָק יִֽתְאַמְּרוּ כָּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

They prate and speake fiercely: all the workers of iniquitie vaunt themselues.

8 בִּינוּ בֹּעֲרִים בָּעָם וּכְסִילִים מָתַי תַּשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃

Vnderstande ye vnwise among the people: and ye fooles, when will ye be wise?

9 הֲנֹטַֽע אֹזֶן הֲלֹא יִשְׁמָע אִֽם־יֹצֵֽר עַיִן הֲלֹא יַבִּֽיט׃

Hee that planted the eare, shall hee not heare? or he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

10 הֲיֹסֵר גּוֹיִם הֲלֹא יוֹכִיחַ הַֽמְלַמֵּד אָדָם דָּֽעַת׃

Or he that chastiseth the nations, shall he not correct? hee that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not knowe?

11 יְֽהוָה יֹדֵעַ מַחְשְׁבוֹת אָדָם כִּי־הֵמָּה הָֽבֶל׃

The Lord knoweth the thoughtes of man, that they are vanitie.

12 אַשְׁרֵי ׀ הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר־תְּיַסְּרֶנּוּ יָּהּ וּֽמִתּוֹרָתְךָ תְלַמְּדֶֽנּוּ׃

Blessed is the man, whom thou chastisest, O Lord, and teachest him in thy Lawe,

13 לְהַשְׁקִיט לוֹ מִימֵי רָע עַד יִכָּרֶה לָרָשָׁע שָֽׁחַת׃

That thou mayest giue him rest from the dayes of euill, whiles the pitte is digged for the wicked.

14 כִּי ׀ לֹא־יִטֹּשׁ יְהוָה עַמּוֹ וְנַחֲלָתוֹ לֹא יַעֲזֹֽב׃

Surely the Lord will not faile his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

15 כִּֽי־עַד־צֶדֶק יָשׁוּב מִשְׁפָּט וְאַחֲרָיו כָּל־יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃

For iudgement shall returne to iustice, and all the vpright in heart shall follow after it.

16 מִֽי־יָקוּם לִי עִם־מְרֵעִים מִֽי־יִתְיַצֵּב לִי עִם־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

Who will rise vp with me against the wicked? or who will take my part against the workers of iniquitie?

17 לוּלֵי יְהוָה עֶזְרָתָה לִּי כִּמְעַט ׀ שָֽׁכְנָה דוּמָה נַפְשִֽׁי׃

If the Lord had not holpen me, my soule had almost dwelt in silence.

18 אִם־אָמַרְתִּי מָטָה רַגְלִי חַסְדְּךָ יְהוָה יִסְעָדֵֽנִי׃

When I said, My foote slideth, thy mercy, O Lord, stayed me.

19 בְּרֹב שַׂרְעַפַּי בְּקִרְבִּי תַּנְחוּמֶיךָ יְֽשַׁעַשְׁעוּ נַפְשִֽׁי׃

In the multitude of my thoughts in mine heart, thy comfortes haue reioyced my soule.

20 הַֽיְחָבְרְךָ כִּסֵּא הַוּוֹת יֹצֵר עָמָל עֲלֵי־חֹֽק׃

Hath the throne of iniquitie fellowship with thee, which forgeth wrong for a Lawe?

21 יָגוֹדּוּ עַל־נֶפֶשׁ צַדִּיק וְדָם נָקִי יַרְשִֽׁיעוּ׃

They gather them together against the soule of the righteous, and condemne the innocent blood.

22 וַיְהִי יְהוָה לִי לְמִשְׂגָּב וֵאלֹהַי לְצוּר מַחְסִֽי׃

But the Lord is my refuge, and my God is the rocke of mine hope.

23 וַיָּשֶׁב עֲלֵיהֶם ׀ אֶת־אוֹנָם וּבְרָעָתָם יַצְמִיתֵם יַצְמִיתֵם יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃

And hee will recompence them their wickednes, and destroy them in their owne malice: yea, the Lord our God shall destroy them.
