3 How long, Lord, will the wicked,

how long will the wicked be jubilant?

4 They pour out arrogant words;

all the evildoers are full of boasting.

5 They crush your people, Lord;

they oppress your inheritance.

6 They slay the widow and the foreigner;

they murder the fatherless.

3 Lord, How long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph? 4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? And all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? 5 They break in pieces thy people, O Lord, And afflict thine heritage. 6 They slay the widow and the stranger, And murder the fatherless.

3 How long, O Lord?

How long will the wicked be allowed to gloat?

4 How long will they speak with arrogance?

How long will these evil people boast?

5 They crush your people, Lord,

hurting those you claim as your own.

6 They kill widows and foreigners

and murder orphans.

How long will the wicked triumph?

All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.

5 They break in pieces Your people, O Lord,

And afflict Your heritage.

6 They slay the widow and the stranger,

And murder the fatherless.

3 How long will the wicked be happy?

How long, Lord?

4 They are full of proud words;

those who do evil brag about what they have done.

5 Lord, they crush your people

and make your children suffer.

6 They kill widows and foreigners

and murder orphans.

3 Jehovah, how long shall the wicked,

How long shall the wicked triumph?

4 They prate, they speak arrogantly:

All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.

5 They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah,

And afflict thy heritage.

6 They slay the widow and the sojourner,

And murder the fatherless.

3 How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph? 4 How long shall they utter and speak insolence—all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? 5 They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance; 6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless,

3 How long, O Lord, will wicked people triumph? 

How long?

They speak arrogantly. 

All troublemakers brag about themselves. 

5 They crush your people, O Lord. 

They make those who belong to you suffer. 

6 They kill widows and foreigners, and they murder orphans.

All the evildoers boast.

they oppress your inheritance.

6 They kill widow and stranger,

and they murder orphans,

3 Lord, how long will those who are evil be glad?

How long will they be full of joy?

4 Proud words pour out of their mouths.

All those who do evil are always bragging.

5 Lord, they crush your people.

They beat down those who belong to you.

6 They kill outsiders. They kill widows.

They murder children whose fathers have died.

3 How long shall the wicked, O Lord,

How long shall the wicked exult?

4 They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly;

All who do wickedness vaunt themselves.

5 They crush Your people, O Lord,

And afflict Your heritage.

And murder the orphans.
