1. God of vengeance--Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.
2. Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.
3. Till when [do] the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?
4. They utter--they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.
5. Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.
6. Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.
7. And they say, `Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.'
8. Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?
9. He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?
10. He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] Jehovah.
11. He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.
