94:1 O ùGod of vengeances, Jehovah, ùGod of vengeances, shine forth; |
94:2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud. |
94:3 How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph? |
94:4 [How long] shall they utter [and] speak insolence -- all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? |
94:5 They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance; |
94:6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless, |
94:7 And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard [it]. |
94:8 Understand, 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 instructeth the nations, shall not he correct -- 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 Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law; |
94:13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, 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 for me against the workers of iniquity? |
94:17 If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. |
94:18 When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up. |
94:19 In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul. |
94:20 Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law? |
94:21 They band together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood. |
94:22 But Jehovah will be my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge. |
94:23 And he will bring upon them their iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil: Jehovah our God will cut them off. |
