94:1 |
Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth. |
94:2 |
Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve. |
94:3 |
Yahweh, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph? |
94:4 |
They pour out arrogant words. All the evil-doers boast. |
94:5 |
They break your people in pieces, Yahweh, and afflict your heritage. |
94:6 |
They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless. |
94:7 |
They say, "Yah will not see, neither will Jacob's God consider." |
94:8 |
Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise? |
94:9 |
He who implanted the ear, won't he hear? He who formed the eye, won't he see? |
94:10 |
He who disciplines the nations, won't he punish? He who teaches man knows. |
94:11 |
Yahweh knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile. |
94:12 |
Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your law; |
94:13 |
that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked. |
94:14 |
For Yahweh won't reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. |
94:15 |
For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it. |
94:16 |
Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evil-doers? |
94:17 |
Unless Yahweh had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence. |
94:18 |
When I said, "My foot is slipping!" Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up. |
94:19 |
In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul. |
94:20 |
Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute? |
94:21 |
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. |
94:22 |
But Yahweh has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge. |
94:23 |
He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Yahweh, our God, will cut them off. |
