| 94 | Psalms | ||
| 1 | O Yahweh, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth! | God the Judge of All. Psalm 94(v93) | |
| 2 | Rise up, O judge of the earth; render to the proud their deserts! | ||
| 3 | O Yahweh, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult? | ||
| 4 | They pour out their arrogant words, they boast, all the evildoers. | ||
| 5 | They crush your people, O Yahweh, and afflict your heritage. | ||
| 6 | They slay the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless; | ||
| 7 | and they say, "Yahweh does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive." | ||
| 8 | Understand, O dullest of the people! Fools, when will you be wise? | ||
| 9 | He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see? | ||
| 10 | He who chastens the nations, does he not chastise? He who teaches men knowledge, | ||
| 11 | Yahweh, knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath. | ||
| 12 | Blessed is the man whom you chasten, O Yahweh, and whom you teach out of your law | ||
| 13 | to give him respite from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked. | ||
| 14 | For Yahweh will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage; | ||
| 15 | for justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it. | ||
| 16 | Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers? | ||
| 17 | If Yahweh had not been my help, my soul would soon have dwelt in the land of silence. | ||
| 18 | When I thought, "My foot slips," your steadfast love, O Yahweh, held me up. | ||
| 19 | When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul. | ||
| 20 | Can wicked rulers be allied with you, who frame mischief by statute? | ||
| 21 | They band together against the life of the righteous, and condemn the innocent to death. | ||
| 22 | But Yahweh has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge. | ||
| 23 | He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; Yahweh our God will wipe them out. | ||
