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 to the proud what they deserve.
3. O Lord, how long shall the wicked,how long shall the wicked triumph?
4. They spew forth their arrogant words;all those who do iniquity boast.
5. They break in pieces Your people, O Lord,and afflict Your inheritance.
6. They kill the widow and the sojourner,and murder the fatherless.
7. Yet they say, “The Lord does not see,neither does the God of Jacob regardit.”
8. Understand, you brutish among the people;fools, when will you be wise?
9. He who made the ear, shall He not hear?He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
