Psalms 94
94
1Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs,
you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.
2Rise up, you judge of the earth.
Pay back the proud what they deserve.
3Yahweh, how long will the wicked,
how long will the wicked triumph?
4They pour out arrogant words.
All the evildoers boast.
5They break your people in pieces, Yahweh,
and afflict your heritage.
6They kill the widow and the alien,
and murder the fatherless.
7They say, “Yah will not see,
neither will Jacob’s God consider.”
8Consider, you senseless among the people;
you fools, when will you be wise?
9He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear?
He who formed the eye, won’t he see?
10He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish?
He who teaches man knows.
11Yahweh knows the thoughts of man,
that they are futile.
12Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah,
and teach out of your law,
13that you may give him rest from the days of adversity,
until the pit is dug for the wicked.
14For Yahweh won’t reject his people,
neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15For judgment will return to righteousness.
All the upright in heart shall follow it.
16Who will rise up for me against the wicked?
Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?
17Unless Yahweh had been my help,
my soul would have soon lived in silence.
18When I said, “My foot is slipping!”
Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up.
19In the multitude of my thoughts within me,
your comforts delight my soul.
20Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you,
which brings about mischief by statute?
21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,
and condemn the innocent blood.
22But Yahweh has been my high tower,
my God, the rock of my refuge.
23He has brought on them their own iniquity,
and will cut them off in their own wickedness.
Yahweh, our God, will cut them off.

Psalm 94
1O Lord, God of vengeance,
O God of vengeance, appear!
2Arise, O Judge of the earth.
Give arrogant people what they deserve.
3How long, O Lord, will wicked people triumph?
How long?
4They ramble.
They speak arrogantly.
All troublemakers brag about themselves.
5They crush your people, O Lord.
They make those who belong to you suffer.
6They kill widows and foreigners, and they murder orphans.
7They say, “The Lord doesn’t see it.
The God of Jacob doesn’t even pay attention to it.”
8Pay attention, you stupid people!
When will you become wise, you fools?
9God created ears.
Do you think he can’t hear?
He formed eyes.
Do you think he can’t see?
10He disciplines nations.
Do you think he can’t punish?
He teaches people.
Do you think he doesn’t know anything?
11The Lord knows that people’s thoughts are pointless.
12O Lord, blessed is the person
whom you discipline and instruct from your teachings.
13You give him peace and quiet from times of trouble
while a pit is dug to trap wicked people.
14The Lord will never desert his people
or abandon those who belong to him.
15The decisions of judges will again become fair,
and everyone whose motives are decent will pursue justice.
16Who will stand up for me against evildoers?
Who will stand by my side against troublemakers?
17If the Lord had not come to help me,
my soul would have quickly fallen silent ⌞in death⌟.
18When I said, “My feet are slipping,”
your mercy, O Lord, continued to hold me up.
19When I worried about many things,
your assuring words soothed my soul.
20Are wicked rulers who use the law to do unlawful things
able to be your partners?
21They join forces to take the lives of righteous people.
They condemn innocent people to death.
22The Lord has become my stronghold.
My God has become my rock of refuge.
23He has turned their own wickedness against them.
He will destroy them because of their sins.
The Lord our God will destroy them.
