94:1  O LORD, thou God of vengeance, thou God of vengeance, shine forth!

94:2  Rise up, O judge of the earth; render to the proud their deserts!

94:3  O LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?

94:4  They pour out their arrogant words, they boast, all the evildoers.

94:5  They crush thy people, O LORD, and afflict thy heritage.

94:6  They slay the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless;

94:7  and they say, "The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive."

94:8  Understand, O dullest of the people! Fools, when will you be wise?

94:9  He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see?

94:10  He who chastens the nations, does he not chastise? He who teaches men knowledge,

94:11  the LORD, knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.

94:12  Blessed is the man whom thou dost chasten, O LORD, and whom thou dost teach out of thy law

94:13  to give him respite from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.

94:14  For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage;

94:15  for justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.

94:16  Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers?

94:17  If the LORD had not been my help, my soul would soon have dwelt in the land of silence.

94:18  When I thought, "My foot slips," thy steadfast love, O LORD, held me up.

94:19  When the cares of my heart are many, thy consolations cheer my soul.

94:20  Can wicked rulers be allied with thee, who frame mischief by statute?

94:21  They band together against the life of the righteous, and condemn the innocent to death.

94:22  But the LORD has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.

94:23  He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the LORD our God
