Psalms 94:3
1 O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth.
2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud.
How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked exult?
4 They pour out arrogant words; all workers of iniquity boast.
5 They crush Your people, O LORD; they oppress Your heritage.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
