about

Few organizations have shown such pure efficiency, profitability, and cruelty in slaughtering the defenseless then Planned Parenthood. At 3000 casualties a day, millions in profit, and tax payer support to boot this song is a prayer for justice but is also a reminder to the people who would commit, support, vote for, defend, legislate, and/or promote such ghoulish behavior that God is not mocked.

The text comes from Psalm 94:1-15 and were arranged by the good folks who put together the psalter titled “The Book of Psalms for Singing”

lyrics

God of vengeance oh Jehovah
God of vengeance oh shine forth
Rise up oh You Judge of nations
Render to the proud their worth

Oh Lord how long shall the wicked
How long shall the wicked boast
Arrogant the words they pour out
Ill men all a taunting host

They Jehovah crush your people
And your heritage distress
They kill sojourner and widow
Murder they the fatherless

And they say Jehovah sees not
Jacob's God does not have eyes
Understand oh stupid people
When oh fools will you be wise?

Who the ear made does He hear not?
Who formed eyes does He not see?
Who warns nations does He smite not?
Who men teaches knows He not?

All the thoughts of men the Lord sees
Knows that but a breath are they
Blessed the man whom You chastise Lord
Whom You teach to know Your way

Give him rest from days of trouble
Till the wicked be overthrown
Our Lord will not leave His people
Will abandon not His own.

When to every verdict given
Justice shall come back again
Everyone whose heart is upright
Will see righteous judgement then

God of vengeance oh Jehovah
God of vengeance oh shine forth
