Psalms 94
94
1God of vengeance — Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.
2Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.
3Till when [do] the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?
4They utter — they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.
5Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.
6Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.
7And they say, ‘Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.’
8Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?
9He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?
10He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] Jehovah.
11He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.
12O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,
13To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.
14For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.
15For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart,
16Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity?
17Unless Jehovah [were] a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.
18If I have said, ‘My foot hath slipped,’ Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.
19In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
20Is a throne of mischief joined [with] Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?
21They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.
22And Jehovah is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for a rock — my refuge,
23And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off!

Psalms 94
94
God the Judge of All
1 LORD, you are a God who punishes;
reveal your anger!
2You are the judge of all;
rise and give the proud what they deserve!
3How much longer will the wicked be glad?
How much longer, LORD?
4How much longer will criminals be proud
and boast about their crimes?
5They crush your people, LORD;
they oppress those who belong to you.
6They kill widows and orphans,
and murder the strangers who live in our land.
7They say, “The LORD does not see us;
the God of Israel does not notice.”
8My people, how can you be such stupid fools?
When will you ever learn?
9God made our ears — can't he hear?
He made our eyes — can't he see?
10He scolds the nations — won't he punish them?#94.10 them?; or our wicked leaders?
He is the teacher of all — hasn't he any knowledge?
11 #
1 Cor 3.20
The LORD knows what they think;
he knows how senseless their reasoning is.
12 LORD, how happy are those you instruct,
the ones to whom you teach your law!
13You give them rest from days of trouble
until a pit is dug to trap the wicked.
14The LORD will not abandon his people;
he will not desert those who belong to him.
15Justice will again be found in the courts,
and all righteous people will support it.
16Who stood up for me against the wicked?
Who took my side against the evildoers?
17If the LORD had not helped me,
I would have gone quickly to the land of silence.#94.17 land of silence: The world of the dead (see 6.5).
18I said, “I am falling”;
but your constant love, O LORD, held me up.
19Whenever I am anxious and worried,
you comfort me and make me glad.
20You have nothing to do with corrupt judges,
who make injustice legal,
21who plot against good people
and sentence the innocent to death.
22But the LORD defends me;
my God protects me.
23He will punish them for their wickedness
and destroy them for their sins;
the LORD our God will destroy them.
