1. O LORD, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
2. Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render to the proud their desert.
3. LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4. They prate, they speak arrogantly: all the workers of iniquity boast themselves.
5. They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
6. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
