We believe in the redemption, let us also believe in the judgment. But before any judgment, God is the one who cares for all.
1O Lord God, vengeance is yours; O God who avenges, show yourself!
2Judge of the world, repay the proud with what they deserve.
3How long shall the wicked, O Lord, how long shall the wicked exult?
4Pouring out words of arrogance, evildoers make a show of their insolence.
5They crush your people, O Lord, they oppress your inheritance.
6They murder the widow and the lonely, they massacre the helpless;
7“The Lord does not see,” they say, “the God of Jacob does not care.”
8Remember this, you stupid people, when will you understand, you fools!
9He who made the ear, will he not hear? He who formed the eye, will he not see?
10He who rebukes nations, will he not punish them?
11The Lord knows the thoughts of humans, that they are a puff of wind.
12Fortunate the one you correct, O Lord, the one you teach your law;
13you give them relief from distress while a pit is dug for the wicked.
14The Lord will not reject his people nor will he forsake his heritage.
15Justice will return to the just, and the upright will follow in its wake.
16Who stands up for me against the wicked? Who stands by me against evildoers?
17Had the Lord not helped me, I would have fallen into the silence of death.
18No sooner did I say, “My foot is slipping,” your kindness, O Lord, held me up.
19The more worries and trouble assailed me, the more you consoled me.
20You shun wicked rulers who impose injustice by law.
21They plot together against the virtuous and condemn the innocent.
22But the Lord is my stronghold, my God, my rock of refuge.
23He will repay them for their evil and destroy them for their wickedness; the Lord, our God, will blot them out.
