94:1 O LORD God to whom vengeance belongs, O God, to whom vengeance belongs, show Yourself. |
94:2 Lift up Yourself, Judge of the earth; render recompense to the proud. |
94:3 How long shall the wicked, O LORD, how long shall the wicked exult? |
94:4 They gush forth words; they speak arrogant things; all the workers of iniquity vaunt themselves. |
94:5 They crush Your people, O LORD, and afflict Your inheritance. |
94:6 They kill the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. |
94:7 Yet they say, "The LORD shall not see, nor shall the God of Jacob regard it." |
94:8 Understand, you brutish ones among the people and you fools, when will you be wise? |
94:9 He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see? |
94:10 He who chastens the nations, shall He not correct? He who teaches man knowledge, shall not He know? |
94:11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. |
94:12 Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O LORD to teach him out of Your law |
94:13 That You may give him rest from the days of trouble until the pit is dug for the wicked, |
94:14 For the LORD will not cast off His people, nor will He forsake His inheritance. |
94:15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness; and all the upright in heart shall follow it. |
94:16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? |
94:17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. |
94:18 When I said, "My foot slips," Your mercy, O LORD, held me up. |
94:19 In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me Your comforts delight my soul. |
94:20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with You, even one who devises evil by decree? |
94:21 They gather themselves against the soul of the righteous and condemn innocent blood. |
94:22 But the LORD is my fortress, and my God is the Rock of my refuge. |
94:23 And He will bring upon them their own iniquity, and He will cut them off in their evil. The LORD our God shall cut them off. |
