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.
