Read the chapter

1O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth. ✦ 2Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud. ✦ 3How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked exult? ✦ 4They pour out arrogant words; all workers of iniquity boast. ✦ 5They crush Your people, O LORD; they oppress Your heritage. ✦ 6They kill the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless. ✦ 7They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.” ✦ 8Take notice, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you be wise? ✦ 9He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see? ✦ 10He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge? ✦ 11The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile. ✦ 12Blessed is the man You discipline, O LORD, and teach from Your law, ✦ 13to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked. ✦ 14For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage. ✦ 15Surely judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it. ✦ 16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity? ✦ 17Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence. ✦ 18If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me. ✦ 19When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul. ✦ 20Can a corrupt throne be Your ally—one devising mischief by decree? ✦ 21They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death. ✦ 22But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge. ✦ 23He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness. The LORD our God will destroy them. ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.
