4 Repay them for their deeds

and for their evil work;

repay them for what their hands have done

and bring back on them what they deserve.

5 Because they have no regard for the deeds of the Lord

and what his hands have done,

he will tear them down

and never build them up again.

6 Praise be to the Lord,

for he has heard my cry for mercy.

4 Give them according to their deeds,

And according to the wickedness of their endeavours:

Give them after the work of their hands;

Render to them their desert.

5 Because they regard not the works of the Lord,

Nor the operation of his hands,

He shall destroy them, and not build them up.

6 Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

4 Give them the punishment they so richly deserve!

Measure it out in proportion to their wickedness.

Pay them back for all their evil deeds!

Give them a taste of what they have done to others.

5 They care nothing for what the Lord has done

or for what his hands have made.

So he will tear them down,

and they will never be rebuilt!

6 Praise the Lord!

For he has heard my cry for mercy.

4 Give them according to their deeds,

And according to the wickedness of their endeavors;

Give them according to the work of their hands;

Render to them what they deserve.

5 Because they do not regard the works of the Lord,

Nor the operation of His hands,

He shall destroy them

And not build them up.

6 Blessed be the Lord,

Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!

4 Pay them back for what they have done,

for their evil deeds.

Pay them back for what they have done;

give them their reward.

5 They don’t understand what the Lord has done

or what he has made.

So he will knock them down

and not lift them up.

6 Praise the Lord,

because he heard my prayer for help.

4 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings:

Give them after the operation of their hands;

Render to them their desert.

5 Because they regard not the works of Jehovah,

Nor the operation of his hands,

He will break them down and not build them up.

6 Blessed be Jehovah,

Because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

4 Give them according to their doing, and according to the wickedness of their deeds; give them after the work of their hands, render to them their desert. 5 For they regard not the deeds of Jehovah, nor the work of his hands: he will destroy them, and not build them up.

6 Blessed be Jehovah, for he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

4 Pay them back for what they have done, 

for their evil deeds. 

Pay them back for what their hands have done, 

and give them what they deserve. 

5 The Lord will tear them down and never build them up again, 

because they never consider what he has done 

or what his hands have made. 

6 Thank the Lord! 

He has heard my prayer for mercy! 

4 Repay them according to what they have done—

according to the evil of their deeds.

Repay them according to the work of their hands;

give them back what they deserve.

5 Because they do not consider

what the Lord has done

or the work of His hands,

He will tear them down and not rebuild them.

6 May the Lord be praised,

for He has heard the sound of my pleading.

4 Repay them according to their work,

and according to the evil of their deeds;

repay them according to the work of their hands;

render them their due reward.

5 Because they do not regard the works of the Lord,

or the work of his hands,

he will break them down and build them up no more.

6 Blessed be the Lord,

for he has heard the sound of my pleadings.

4 Give to them according to their work,

even according to the evil of their deeds.

Give to them according to the work of their hands;

repay them their rightful due.

5 Because they do not regard the works of Yahweh,

nor the work of his hands,

he will destroy them

and not rebuild them.

6 Blessed is Yahweh,

because he has heard the voice of my supplications.

4 Pay them back for their evil actions.

Pay them back for what their hands have done.

Give them exactly what they should get.

5 They don’t care about the Lord’s mighty acts.

They don’t care about what his hands have done.

So he will tear them down.

He will never build them up again.

6 Give praise to the Lord.

He has heard my cry for his favor.

4 Requite them according to their work and according to the evil of their practices;

Requite them according to the deeds of their hands;

Repay them their recompense.

Nor the deeds of His hands,

He will tear them down and not build them up.

6 Blessed be the Lord,

Because He has heard the voice of my supplication.
