1 O Yahweh, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth.
2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth. Repay upon the proud what is their rightful due.
3 How long will the wicked, O Yahweh, how long will the wicked exult?
4 They gush words unrestrained. All the evildoers boast.
5 They crush your people, O Yahweh; they oppress your inheritance.
6 They kill widow and stranger, and they murder orphans,
7 while they say, “Yah does not see,” and “The God of Jacob does not pay attention.”
