1. O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
2. Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: Render to the proud their desert.
3. Jehovah, how long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph?
4. They prate, they speak arrogantly: All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.
5. They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah, And afflict thy heritage.
