1
Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs, You God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth.
2
Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.
3
Yahweh, how long will the wicked, How long will the wicked triumph?
4
They pour out arrogant words. All the evil-doers boast.
5
They break your people in pieces, Yahweh, And afflict your heritage.
6
They kill the widow and the alien, And murder the fatherless.
