The prophet, calling for justice, complaineth of tyranny and impiety.

1 ¶ O LORDº God,º to whom vengeanceº belongeth; O God,º to whom vengeanceº belongeth, shew¹ª thyself.² 2 Lift up¹ª thyself,² thou judgeºª of the earth:º renderºª a rewardº to² the proud.º 3 LORD,º how long²² shall the wicked,º how long²² shall the wickedº triumph?ºª 4 [How long] shall they utterºª [and] speakºª hard things?º [and] all² the workersºª of iniquityº boast¹ª themselves?² 5 They break in piecesºª thy people,º O LORD,º and afflictºª thine heritage.º 6 They slayºª the widowº and the stranger,º and murderºª the fatherless.º 7 Yet they say,ºª The LORDº shall not² see,ºª neither² shall the Godº of Jacobº regardºª [it].
