- O LORD, the God who avenges, O God who avenges, shine forth.
- Rise up, O Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.
- How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked be jubilant?
- They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers are full of boasting.
- They crush your people, O LORD; they oppress your inheritance.
|
- They slay the widow and the alien; they murder the fatherless.
- They say, "The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed."
- Take heed, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?
- Does he who implanted the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?
- Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches man lack knowledge?
|
- The LORD knows the thoughts of man; he knows that they are futile.
