[1] O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
[2] Lift up Thyself, Thou Judge of the earth; render to the proud their recompense.
[3] 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?
[4] They gush out, they spe arrogancy; all the workers of iniquity bear themselves loftily.
[5] They crush Thy people, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and afflict Thy heritage.
[6] They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
[7] And they say: '𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 will not see, neither will the God of Jacob give heed.'
[8] Consider, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye understand?
[9] He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see?
[10] He that instructeth nations, shall not He correct? even He that teacheth man knowledge?
[11] 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
[12] Happy is the man whom Thou instructest, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and teachest out of Thy law;
[13] That Thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
[14] For 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance.
[15] For right shall return unto justice, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
[16] Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
[17] Unless 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 had been my help, my soul had soon dwelt in silence.
[18] If I say: 'My foot slippeth', Thy mercy, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, holdeth me up.
[19] When my cares are many within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
[20] Shall the seat of wickedness have fellowship with Thee, which frameth mischief by statute?
[21] They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
[22] But 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 hath been my high tower, and my God the rock of my refuge.
[23] And He hath brought upon them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil; 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 our God will cut them off.
