Psalms 94

Jehovah implored to avenge his people.

¹Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs, You God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth.

²Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.

³Yahweh, how long will the wicked, How long will the wicked triumph?

⁴They pour out arrogant words. All the evil-doers boast.

⁵They break your people in pieces, Yahweh, And afflict your heritage.

⁶They kill the widow and the alien, And murder the fatherless.

⁷They say, "Yah will not see, Neither will Jacob`s God consider."

⁸Consider, you senseless among the people; You fools, when will you be wise?

⁹He who implanted the ear, won`t he hear? He who formed the eye, won`t he see?

¹⁰He who disciplines the nations, won`t he punish? He who teaches man knows.

¹¹Yahweh knows the thoughts of man, That they are futile.

¹²Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, And teach out of your law;

¹³That you may give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked.

¹⁴For Yahweh won`t reject his people, Neither will he forsake his inheritance.

¹⁵For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.

¹⁶Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evil-doers?

¹⁷Unless Yahweh had been my help, My soul would have soon lived in silence.

¹⁸When I said, "My foot is slipping!" Your lovingkindness, Yahweh, held me up.

¹⁹In the multitude of my thoughts within me, Your comforts delight my soul.

²⁰Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, Which brings about mischief by statute?

²¹They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, And condemn the innocent blood.

²²But Yahweh has been my high tower, My God, the rock of my refuge.

²³He has brought on them their own iniquity, And will cut them off in their own wickedness. Yahweh, our God, will cut them off.
