1. The Lord is a God who avenges.O God who avenges, shine forth.
2. Rise up, Judge of the earth;pay back to the proud what they deserve.
3. How long, Lord, will the wicked,how long will the wicked be jubilant?
4. They pour out arrogant words;all the evildoers are full of boasting.
5. They crush your people, Lord;they oppress your inheritance.
6. They slay the widow and the foreigner;they murder the fatherless.
7. They say, ‘The Lord does not see;the God of Jacob takes no notice.’
8. Take notice, you senseless ones among the people;you fools, when will you become wise?
9. Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?Does he who formed the eye not see?
