1O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongs— O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth! 2Rise up, O Judge of the earth; Render punishment to the proud. Lord, how long will the wicked, How long will the wicked triumph? 4They utter speech, and speak insolent things; All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves. 5They break in pieces Your people, O Lord, And afflict Your heritage.
