| 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. |
| 8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? |
| 9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? |
| 10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? |
| 11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. |
