The Lord Will Not Forsake His People

1 O Lord, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth! (De 32:35; De 32:41; De 32:43; Ps 50:2; Isa 35:4; Jer 51:56; Na 1:2; Ro 12:19)

2 Rise up, O judge of the earth; repay to the proud what they deserve! (Ps 7:6; Ps 58:11; Lu 1:51) 3 O Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult? (Job 20:5; Ps 74:10; Re 6:10) 4 They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers boast. (1Sa 2:3; Ps 31:18; Ps 92:7; Ps 92:9; Ps 125:5; Jud 1:15)

5 They crush your people, O Lord, and afflict your heritage. (Pr 22:22; Isa 3:15) 6 They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless; (Isa 10:2) 7 and they say, “The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive.” (Job 22:13) 8 Understand, O dullest of the people! Fools, when will you be wise? (Ps 49:10) 9 He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see? (Ex 4:11; Pr 20:12) 10 He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge— (Job 12:23; Job 35:11) 11 the Lord—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.^[1] (Ps 30:5; Ps 30:11; 1Co 3:20) 12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O Lord, and whom you teach out of your law, (De 8:5; Job 5:17; Pr 3:11; 1Co 11:32; Heb 12:5)

De 8:5Job 5:17Pr 3:111Co 11:32Heb 12:5

13 to give him rest from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked. (Job 34:29; Ps 49:5; Ps 55:23) 14 For the Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage; (De 32:9; 1Sa 12:22; Ro 11:2) 15 for justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it. (1Sa 12:14; 1Ki 14:8; Isa 42:3) 16 Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers? (Ps 12:5) 17 If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence. (Ps 31:17; Ps 124:1) 18 When I thought, “My foot slips,” your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up. (Ps 20:2; Ps 38:16; Ps 73:2) 19 When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul. 20 Can wicked rulers be allied with you, those who frame^[2] injustice by statute? (Ps 50:16; Ps 58:2; Isa 10:1; Am 6:3)

Ps 50:16Ps 58:2Isa 10:1Am 6:3

21 They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.^[3] (Mt 27:1; Mt 27:4) 22 But the Lord has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge. (Ps 9:9; Ps 14:6; Ps 18:2) 23 He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the Lord our God will wipe them out. (Ps 7:16; Ps 34:21; Ps 92:9; Pr 2:22)

الكتاب المقدس

1 يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ إِلَهُ الانْتِقَامِ، فَتَجَلَّ بِغَضَبِكَ. 2 قُمْ يَا دَيَّانَ الأَرْضِ وَجَازِ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ عَلَى أَعْمَالِهِمْ. 3 إِلَى مَتَى يَا رَبُّ يَشْمَتُ الأَشْرَارُ فَرِحِينَ؟ 4 إِلَى مَتَى يَهْذِرُ عُمَّالُ الإِثْمِ وَيَتَوَاقَحُونَ وَيَتَبَاهَوْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ؟ 5 يَسْحَقُونَ شَعْبَكَ يَا رَبُّ وَيَضْطَهِدُونَهُ، 6 يَقْتُلُونَ الأَرْمَلَةَ وَالْغَرِيبَ وَيَذْبَحُونَ الْيَتِيمَ. 7 وَيَقُولُونَ: «الرَّبُّ لَا يَرَى هَذَا، وَإِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يُبَالِي». 8 افْهَمُوا يَا أَغْبِيَاءَ الشَّعْبِ! يَا جُهَّالُ مَتَى تَتَعَقَّلُونَ؟ 9 صَانِعُ الأُذُنِ أَلَا يَسْمَعُ؟ جَابِلُ الْعَيْنِ أَلَا يُبْصِرُ؟ 10 مُؤَدِّبُ الأُمَمِ أَلَا يَزْجُرُ وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ الإِنْسَانَ الْحِكْمَةَ؟ 11 الرَّبُّ يَعْلَمُ أَفْكَارَ الإِنْسَانِ وَيَعْرِفُ أَنَّهَا بَاطِلَةٌ. 12 طُوبَى لِلإِنْسَانِ الَّذِي تُؤَدِّبُهُ، وَتُعَلِّمُهُ مِنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ يَا رَبُّ! 13 لِتُرِيحَهُ مِنْ أَيَّامِ السُّوءِ، إِلَى أَنْ يَمُوتَ الشِّرِّيرُ وَيَتَوَارَى فِي مَثْواهُ. 14 لَا يَرْفُضُ اللهُ شَعْبَهُ، وَلَا يَنْبِذُ خَاصَّتَهُ. 15 لأَنَّ القَضَاءَ يُصْبِحُ عَدْلاً وَيُحِبُّهُ جَمِيعُ الْمُسْتَقِيمِي الْقُلُوبِ. 16 مَنْ يَتَوَلَّى عَنِّي مُحَارَبَةَ الأَشْرَارِ؟ مَنْ يُجَابِهُ عَنِّي فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ؟ 17 لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مُعِينِي لَسَكَنَتْ نَفْسِي الْقَبْرَ. 18 قُلْتُ: قَدْ زَلَّتْ قَدَمِي. وَلَكِنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ يَا رَبُّ صَارَتْ لِي سَنَداً. 19 عِنْدَ كَثْرَةِ هُمُومِي فِي دَاخِلِي تَبْتَهِجُ نَفْسِي بِتَعْزِيَاتِكَ. 20 أَيُحَالِفُكَ مَلِكُ الشَّرِّ الْمُخْتَلِقُ إثْماً لِيَجْعَلَ الظُّلْمَ شَرِيعَةً لِلْقَضَاءِ؟ 21 يَجْتَمِعُونَ مَعاً لِلْقَضَاءِ عَلَى حَيَاةِ الصِّدِّيقِ، وَيَحْكُمُونَ عَلَى الْبَرِيءِ بِالْمَوْتِ. 22 وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ حِصْنِي الْمَنِيعُ؛ إِلَهِي هُوَ الصَّخْرَةُ الَّتِي بِها أَحْتَمِي. 23 غَيْرَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا يُعَاقِبُهُمْ عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، وَيُبِيدُهُمْ بِشَرِّهِمْ.
