O Lord God, to avenge all wrongs belongs alone to thee;Vengeance to thee alone belongs, thy vengeance let us see. [verse 2] O the earths Judge, now in our sight lift up thy selfe on hye;With due reward the proud requite, that speak presumptuously.
[verse 3] How long shall those that wicked be, in pride lift up their voice?And, Lord, how long yet shall we see say, the wicked to rejoyce? [verse 4] How long hard things shall these men
and utter cruelty?How long triumph and boast shall they that work iniquity?
[verse 5] O Lord, thy people in their rage they do in pieces teare;And they afflict thine heritage, to thee that hath been deare. [verse 6] The widowes which are comfortlesse, and strangers they do slay;And they the children fatherlesse by murder make away.
[verse 7] Yet having done these mischiefes all, they say, God shall not see;Nor by the God of Jacob shall these things regarded be. [verse 8] Ye brutish of the multitude, can ye not this discerne?And ye that foolish are and rude, at length this wisdome learne?
[verse 9] The Lord did plant the eare of man, and beare then shall not he?The eye he only form'd, and then shall he not clearly see? [verse 10] He that the Nations chastiseth, shall not he chastise now?Ile knowledge into man doth breathe, and shall himselfe not know?
