Plea for Divine Vengeance and Justice
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 proudtheir 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.
6
They slay the widow and the sojourner, And murder the fatherless.
7
And they say, Jehovah will not see, Neither will the God of Jacob consider.
