1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
         
                                
                        2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
         
                                
                        3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
         
                                
                        4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
         
                                
                        5 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
         
                                
                        6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
         
                                
                        7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
