LEB - Psalms - 94

94:1  O Yahweh, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth.

94:2  Rise up, O Judge of the earth. Repay upon the proud what is their rightful due.

94:3  How long will the wicked, O Yahweh, how long will the wicked exult?

94:4  ⌞They gush words⌟ unrestrained. All the evildoers boast.

94:5  They crush your people, O Yahweh; they oppress your inheritance.

94:6  They kill widow and stranger, and they murder orphans,

94:7  while they say, “Yah does not see,” and “The God of Jacob does not pay attention.”

94:8  You pay attention, O brutes among the people. And you fools, when you will show insight?

94:9  Will the one who planted the ear not hear? Will the one who formed the eye not see?

94:10  Will the one who instructs nations not rebuke, the one who teaches humankind knowledge?

94:11  Yahweh knows the thoughts of humankind, that ⌞they are to no purpose⌟.

94:12  Blessed is the man, O Yah, whom you instruct and teach from your law,

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

94:14  For Yahweh will not abandon his people, nor forsake his inheritance.

94:15  For judgment will return to righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow after it.

94:16  Who rose up for me against the wicked? Who stood up for me against the workers of iniquity?

94:17  If Yahweh had not been my help, my soul would soon have dwelt in silence.

94:18  When I thought, “My foot is slipping,” your loyal love, O Yahweh, supported me.

94:19  When my troubled thoughts were many ⌞within me⌟, your consolations cheered my soul.

94:20  Can there be allied with you a throne of destruction, one that forms trouble based on statute?

94:21  They band together against the life of the righteous, and declare the blameless guilty of blood.

94:22  But Yahweh has become my high stronghold, and my God has become my rock of refuge.

94:23  And he will repay on them their iniquity, and by their evil he will destroy them. Yahweh our God will destroy them.
