1. O Lord God, You to Whom vengeance belongs, O God, You to Whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!
2. Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render to the proud a fit compensation!
3. Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph and exult?
4. They pour out arrogant words, speaking hard things; all the evildoers boast loftily. [Jude 14, 15.]
5. They crush Your people, O Lord, and afflict Your heritage.
6. They slay the widow and the transient stranger and murder the unprotected orphan.
7. Yet they say, The Lord does not see, neither does the God of Jacob notice it.
