Lyrics

O Lord, you God of vengeance,
You God of vengeance, shine forth!
Rise up, O judge of the earth;
Give to the proud what they deserve!
O Lord, how long shall the wicked,
How long shall the wicked exult?
They pour out their arrogant words;
All the evildoers boast.

They crush your people, O Lord,
And afflict your heritage.
They kill the widow and the stranger,
Murder the orphan, and say,
”˜The Lord, He does not see;
”˜The God of Jacob takes no notice.”

Understand, O dullest of the people;
Fools, when will you be wise?
He made the ear, does he not hear?
He made the eye, does he not see?

He who discipline, gives knowledge to the nations,
Does he not chastise?
The Lord knows all, He knows our thoughts,
That they are but an empty breath.

O Lord, you God of vengeance,
You God of vengeance, shine forth!
Rise up, O judge of the earth;
Give to the proud what they deserve!
O Lord, how long shall the wicked,
How long shall the wicked exult?
They pour out their arrogant words;
All the evildoers boast.

Happy are those instruct,
And whom you teach your law,
Giving them rest from days of trouble,
The Lord will not abandon, forsake his heritage;
Justice return and all will follow.

Who rises up for me against the wicked?
Stands up to evil men?
If the Lord had not been my help,
My soul would move to silent death.

When I thought, ”˜My foot”“ “, I thought, “My foot is slipping”,
Your love, held me up.
When the cares of my heart are many,
Your consolations cheer my soul.

Can wicked rulers be allied with you,
Those who make oppressive laws?
They conspire against the blameless,
And condemn the innocent to death.

But the Lord will protect me,
And my God will shelter me.
He will repay them for their evil
Wipe them out for their iniquity;
The Lord our God will wipe them out.
