Deus ultionum.
1 O Lord God, to whom | 3 vengeance be- | longeth, ||
thou God, to whom | 3 vengeance be- | longeth, | show thy•self. ||
2 Arise, thou | Judge • of the | world, ||
and reward the | proud • after | their de- | serving. ||
3 Lord, how long shall the ungodly, how long shall the un- | godly | triumph? ||
4 How long shall all wicked doers speak so dis- | dainful•ly, and | 3 make such • proud | boasting? ||
5 They smite down thy people, O Lord, and | trouble • thine | herit•age. ||
6 They murder the widow and the stranger, and | put the | father•less to | death. ||

7 And yet they say, Tush, the | Lord • shall not | see, ||
neither shall the | God of | 3 Jacob re- | gard it. ||
8 Take heed, ye un- | wise a•mong the | people: ||
O ye fools, | 3 when will • ye | under- | stand? ||
9 He that planted the ear, 3 shall | he not | hear? ||
or he that made the | eye, | 3 shall he • not | see? ||
10 Or he that | nurtur•eth the | heathen, ||
it is he that teacheth man | knowledge; | shall not • he | punish? ||
10 Or he that in- | structeth • the | heathen, ||
it is he that teacheth man | knowledge; | shall not • he | punish? ||
*§ 11 The Lord | 3 knoweth the | thoughts ||
Or, 11 The Lord knoweth the | thoughts of | man, ||
that | they | are but | vain. ||
of | man, that | 3 they are • but | vain. ||
12 Blessed is the man whom thou | chasten•est, O | Lord, ||
and | 3 teachest him | in thy | law; ||
13 That thou mayest give him patience in | 3 time of • ad- | versi•ty, ||
until the | pit be • digged | up for • the un- | godly. ||
14 For the Lord will not | fail his | people; ||
neither 3 will | he for- | sake • his in- | heri•tance; ||
15 Until righteousness turn a- | gain • unto | judgment: ||
all such as are | true in | heart shall | follow • it. ||
16 Who will rise up with me a- | gainst the | wicked? ||
or who will take my | part a•gainst the | evil | doers? ||
17 If the | 3 Lord had • not | helped me, ||
it had not failed, but my | soul • had been | put to | silence. ||
18 But when I said, My | foot hath | slipt; ||
thy | 3 mercy, O | Lord, • held me | up. ||
19 In the multitude of the sorrows that I 3 had | in my | heart, ||
thy | comforts • have re- | freshed my | soul. ||
20 Wilt thou have any thing to do with the | stool of | wicked•ness, ||
which im- | 3 agineth | mischief • as a | law? ||
20 Wilt thou have any thing to do with the | throne of | wicked•ness, ||
which im- | 3 agineth | mischief • as a | law? ||
21 They gather them together against the | soul • of the | righteous, ||
and con- | demn the | inno•cent | blood. ||
22 But the | 3 Lord is • my | refuge, ||
and my | God • is the | 3 strength of • my | confi•dence. ||
23 He shall recompense them their wickedness, * and destroy them 3 in | their own | malice; ||
yea, the | Lord our | God • shall de- | stroy them. ||
Glory | be • to the | Father, ||
and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||
As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||
is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
