94:1 O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth. |
94:2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: Render to the proud `their' desert. |
94:3 Jehovah, how long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph? |
94:4 They prate, they speak arrogantly: All the workers of iniquity boast themselves. |
94:5 They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah, And afflict thy heritage. |
94:6 They slay the widow and the sojourner, And murder the fatherless. |
94:7 And they say, Jehovah will not see, Neither will the God of Jacob consider. |
94:8 Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye be wise? |
94:9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see? |
94:10 He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct, `Even' he that teacheth man knowledge? |
94:11 Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, That they are vanity. |
94:12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah, And teachest out of thy law; |
94:13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit be digged for the wicked. |
94:14 For Jehovah will not cast off his people, Neither will he forsake his inheritance. |
94:15 For judgment shall return unto righteousness; And all the upright in heart shall follow it. |
94:16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? |
94:17 Unless Jehovah had been my help, My soul had soon dwelt in silence. |
94:18 When I said, My foot slippeth; Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up. |
94:19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul. |
94:20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee, Which frameth mischief by statute? |
94:21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, And condemn the innocent blood. |
94:22 But Jehovah hath been my high tower, And my God the rock of my refuge. |
94:23 And he hath brought upon them their own iniquity, And will cut them off in their own wickedness; Jehovah our God will cut them off. |
