1. God of vengeance, Adonai, God of vengeance, shine forth!
2. Rise up, O Judge of the earth! Pay back to the proud what they deserve.
3. How long will the wicked, Adonai, how long will the wicked gloat?
4. They gush out, they speak arrogance— all the evildoers keep boasting.
5. They crush Your people, Adonai, and afflict Your heritage.
6. They slay the widow and the outsider, and murder the fatherless.
7. So they say: “Adonai does not see— the God of Jacob pays no attention.”
8. Pay attention, stupid among the people! Fools, when will you comprehend?
