1. O LORD, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
2. Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render to the proud their desert.
3. LORD, 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 LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
6. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7. And they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob consider.
