Rotherham - Psalms - 94

94:1  O GOD of avenging—Yahweh, GOD of avenging, shine forth:

94:2  Lift up thyself, O judge of the earth, Render a recompense unto the proud.

94:3  How long shall the lawless, O Yahweh, How long shall the lawless exult?

94:4  They pour forth [words], they speak arrogantly, All the workers of iniquity, do boast:

94:5  Thy people, O Yahweh, they will crush, And, thine inheritance, tread down;

94:6  The widow and sojourner, they will slay, And, the fatherless, murder.

94:7  Yet have they said—Yah, doth not see, The God of Jacob, doth not understand.

94:8  Understand, ye brutish among the people, And, ye dullards, when will ye show discretion?

94:9  He that planteth the ear, shall he not hear? Or, that fashioneth the eye, shall he not have power to see?

94:10  He that correcteth nations, shall he not reprove? He that teacheth man knowledge!

94:11  Yahweh, knoweth the plans of men, That, they, are a breath!

94:12  How happy the man whom thou correctest, O Yah! And whom, out of thy law, thou instructest!

94:13  That thou mayest give him rest from the days of misfortune, Until there be digged—for the lawless one—a pit.

94:14  For Yahweh, will not abandon, his people, And, his inheritance, will he not forsake;

94:15  For, unto righteousness, shall the judicial sentence return, Then shall follow it—all the upright in heart.

94:16  Who will rise up for me, against the evil-doers? Who will make a stand for me, against the workers of iniquity?

94:17  If, Yahweh, had not been a help to me, Soon had sunk into silence—my soul!

94:18  If I say, My foot, hath slipped, Thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh, supporteth me.

94:19  In the multitude of my cares within me, Thy consolations, delight my soul.

94:20  Shall the throne that inflicteth ruin, have fellowship with thee, That frameth oppression, by statute?

94:21  They make an attack on the life of the righteous one,—And, innocent blood, they condemn.

94:22  But, Yahweh, hath become for me a high tower, And my God, my rock of refuge.

94:23  Thus hath he brought back on them their iniquity, And, by their own wickedness, will he destroy them, Destroy them, will Yahweh our God.
