1 - Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.

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 evildoers boast.

6 - They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.

7 - They say, “Yah will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.”

14 - For Yahweh won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
