1Yahweh, you are able to get revenge on your enemies. So show them that you are going to punish them!
2You are the one who judges all people on the earth; so arise, and give/punish the proud leaders of our people like they deserve.
3Yahweh, how long will those wicked people be glad/happy? It is not right that RHQ they continue being glad!
4They do evil things, and they boast about doing them; how long will they be allowed to continue doing that?
5Yahweh, it is as though those wicked people crush us, your people; they ◄oppress/treat cruelly► those who belong to you DOU.
6They murder widows and orphans and people from other countries who think it is safe to live in our land.
7Those wicked people say, “Yahweh does not see anything; so the God whom those Israelis worship does not see the evil things that we do.”
8You evil people who rule Israel, you are foolish and stupid; when will you become wise RHQ?
9God made our ears; so do you think that he cannot hear what you say RHQ? He created our eyes; so do you think that he cannot see the evil things that you do RHQ?
10He also scolds the leaders of other nations; so do you think that he will not punish you RHQ? He is the one who knows everything; so why do you think that he does not know what you do RHQ?
11Yahweh knows everything that people are thinking; he knows that what they think ◄ is useless/vanishes as quickly as► smoke MET.
12Yahweh, you are pleased with people who want you to discipline/correct them, those who want you to teach them your laws.
13When those people have had troubles, you cause those troubles to cease, and some day it will be as though you will dig pits for wicked people, and they will fall into those pits and die.
14Yahweh will not abandon his people; he will not desert like that those who belong to him DOU.
15Some day judges will decide matters fairly for people, and all honest/righteous people will be pleased about that.
16But when wicked people ◄ oppressed me/treated me cruelly►, ◄who defended me?/no one defended me.► RHQ No one stood up to testify for me against those evil people RHQ.
17If Yahweh had not helped me at that time, I would have been executed, and my soul/spirit would have gone to the place where dead people say nothing.
18I said/thought to myself, “I am about to die,” but Yahweh, you held me up by faithfully loving me.
