1 Lord, avenging God,avenging God, shine forth!
2 Rise up, O judge of the earth;give the proud what they deserve!
3 How long, Lord, shall the wicked,how long shall the wicked glory?
4 How long will they mouth haughty speeches,go on boasting, all these evildoers?
5 They crush your people, Lord,torment your very own.
6 They kill the widow and alien;the orphan they murder.
7 They say, “The Lord does not see;the God of Jacob takes no notice.”
