1 Lord, avenging God—avenging God, show yourself!
2 Rise up, judge of the earth!Pay back the arrogant exactly what they deserve!
3 How long will the wicked—oh, Lord!—how long will the wicked win?
4 They spew arrogant words;all the evildoers are bragging.
5 They crush your own people, Lord!They abuse your very own possession.
