1. O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongs—O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!
2. Rise up, O Judge of the earth;Render punishment to the proud.
3. Lord, how long will the wicked,How long will the wicked triumph?
4. They utter speech, and speak insolent things;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.
7. Yet they say, “The Lord does not see,Nor does the God of Jacob understand.”
