1. O Lord God, You to Whom vengeance belongs, O God, You to Whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!
2. Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render to the proud a fit compensation!
3. Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph and exult?
4. They pour out arrogant words, speaking hard things; all the evildoers boast loftily. [Jude 14, 15.]
5. They crush Your people, O Lord, and afflict Your heritage.
6. They slay the widow and the transient stranger and murder the unprotected orphan.
