Psalm 94
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.
