O Yahweh, God of vengeance God of vengeance–shine forth! [Choir: Female choir] O Yahweh, God of vengeance God of vengeance–shine forth! Who will arise for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against workers of iniquity? Here am I, Lord; here am I Start with me, purge evil from me, use me purified Be lifted up, O Judge of earth (To give the proud their recompense) They crush the people who your law defends They slay the widow and the traveler They condemn the orphans, and they do not care (On themselves they do depend) O Yahweh, God of vengeance God of vengeance–shine forth! Who will arise for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against workers of iniquity? Here am I, Lord; here am I Start with me, purge evil from me, use me purified Your judgement, Yahweh, stands for righteousness Can a dissentious throne ally with you? (Can those who purpose trouble be at peace with you?) They fight your cause to slay what’s right Condemning innocence by night (And mocking words they spew) O Yahweh, God of vengeance God of vengeance–shine forth! O Yahweh, God of vengeance God of vengeance–shine forth!
