1 O Lord, the God who avenges!O God who avenges, reveal your splendor!
2 Rise up, O judge of the earth!Pay back the proud!
3 O Lord, how long will the wicked,how long will the wicked celebrate?
4 They spew out threats and speak defiantly;all the evildoers boast.
5 O Lord, they crush your people;they oppress the nation that belongs to you.
6 They kill the widow and the one residing outside his native land,and they murder the fatherless.
7 Then they say, “The Lord does not see this;the God of Jacob does not take notice of it.”
