Introduction – Grave
1 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth;
O God to whom vengeance belongeth, show thyself.
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth;
render a reward to the proud.
Larghetto – Allegro con fuoco
3 Lord, how long shall the wicked,
how long shall the wicked triumph?
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.
Adagio
17 Unless the Lord had been my help,
my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me,
thy comforts delight my soul.
Allegro – Allegro assai
22 But the Lord is my defense,
and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 And He shall bring upon them, their own iniquity,
and shall cut them off in their own wickedness;
yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.
