94:1 God of vengeance, LORD God of vengeance, display your splendor!
94:2 Stand up, judge of the earth, and repay the proud.
94:3 How long will the wicked, LORD, how long will the wicked continue to triumph?
94:4 When they speak, they spew arrogance. Everyone who practices iniquity brags about it.
94:5 LORD, they have crushed your people, afflicting your heritage.
94:6 The wicked kill widows and foreigners; they murder orphans.
94:7 They say, "The LORD cannot see, and the God of Jacob will not notice."
94:8 Pay attention, you dull ones among the crowds! You fools! Will you ever become wise?
94:9 The one who formed the ear can hear, can he not? The one who made the eyes can see, can he not?
94:10 The one who disciplines nations can rebuke them, can he not? The one who teaches mankind can discern, can he not?
94:11 The LORD knows the thoughts of human beings— that they are futile.
94:12 How blessed is the man whom you instruct, LORD, whom you teach from your Law,
94:13 keeping him calm when times are troubled until a pit has been dug for the wicked.
94:14 For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage.
94:15 Righteousness will be restored with justice, and all the pure of heart will follow it.
94:16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against those who practice iniquity?
94:17 If the LORD had not been my helper, I would have quickly become silent.
94:18 When I say that my foot is shaking, your gracious love, LORD, will sustain me.
94:19 When my anxious inner thoughts become overwhelming, your comfort encourages me.
94:20 Will destructive national leaders, who plan wicked things through misuse of the Law, be allied with you?
94:21 They gather together against the righteous, condemning the innocent to death.
94:22 But the LORD is my stronghold, and my God, the rock, is my refuge.
94:23 He will repay them for their sin; he will annihilate them because of their evil. The LORD our God will annihilate them.
