1 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth;O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, show thyself.
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth:render a reward to the proud.
3 Lord, how long shall the wicked,how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 They break in pieces thy people, O Lord,and afflict thine heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger,and murder the fatherless.
7 Yet they say, The Lord shall not see,neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
