1. O Lord, God of vengeance,O God of vengeance, shine forth!
2. Rise up, O judge of the earth;repay to the proud what they deserve!
3. O Lord, how long shall the wicked,how long shall the wicked exult?
4. They pour out their arrogant words;all the evildoers boast.
5. They crush your people, O Lord,and afflict your heritage.
6. They kill the widow and the sojourner,and murder the fatherless;
7. and they say, “The Lord does not see;the God of Jacob does not perceive.”
8. Understand, O dullest of the people!Fools, when will you be wise?
