God the Refuge of the Righteous
1 O
Lord God,
ato whom vengeance belongs—
O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!
2 Rise up, O
aJudge of the earth;
1Render punishment to the proud.
3 Lord,
ahow long will the wicked,
How long will the wicked triumph?
4 They
autter speech,
and speak insolent things;
All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.
5 They break in pieces Your people, O
Lord,
And afflict Your heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger,
And murder the fatherless.
7 aYet they say, “The
Lord does not see,
Nor does the God of Jacob
1 understand.”
8 Understand, you senseless among the people;
And
you fools, when will you be wise?
