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."
8
Understand, you senseless among the people; And you fools, when will you be wise?
