1Yahweh, 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.
3Yahweh, 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, Yahweh, and afflict your heritage.
6They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.
7They say, “Yah will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.”
