1LORD, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.
2Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.
3LORD, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?
4They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.
5They break your people in pieces, LORD, and afflict your heritage.
6They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.
7They say, “The LORD will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.”
8Consider, you senseless amongst the people; you fools, when will you be wise?
9He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear? He who formed the eye, won’t he see?
10He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows.
11The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
12Blessed is the man whom you discipline, LORD, and teach out of your Torah,
13that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.
14For the LORD won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
