1. O Lord God, unto whom aloneall vengeance doth belong;O mighty God, who vengeance own'st,shine forth, avenging wrong.
2. Lift up thyself, thou of the earththe sov'reign Judge that art;And unto those that are so prouda due reward impart.
3. How long, O mighty God, shall theywho lewd and wicked be,How long shall they who wicked arethus triumph haughtily?
4. How long shall things most hard by thembe uttered and told?And all that work iniquityto boast themselves be bold?
