The LORD is a God who avenges. O God who avenges, shine forth.
2 Arise, O Judge of the earth. Give the proud what they deserve.

Rise up, Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.
3 How long, O LORD ? How long will the wicked be allowed to gloat?
3
How long, LORD, will the wicked, how long will the wicked be jubilant?
4 How long will they speak with arrogance? How long will these evil people boast?

They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers are full of boasting.
5 They crush your people, LORD, hurting those you claim as your own.

They crush your people, LORD; they oppress your inheritance.
6 They kill widows and foreigners and murder orphans.
