94:1  Lord, you are the God who punishes guilty people. God, show your power to punish people as they deserve!
94:2  Judge of all people on the earth, do something! Punish proud people as they deserve!
94:3  How long will wicked people continue to be happy? Yes, Lord, how long?
94:4  Those people who do evil things speak many proud words. They boast about how great they are.
94:5  Lord, see how they hurt your own people. They are cruel to the people that belong to you.
94:6  They kill widows and foreign people who live in our land. They murder children that have no family.
94:7  They say, ‘The Lord does not see us. Israel's God does not see what we are doing.’
94:8  Think again, all you fools among the people! Stupid people, become wise!
94:9  God made our ears! Can he himself not hear? He made our eyes! Does he not see?
94:10  He teaches the nations what is right. Will he not punish you, when you do what is wrong? He teaches people what they should know.
94:11  The Lord knows what people think. He knows that their thoughts are empty.
94:12  Lord, when you teach people what is right, you have really blessed them. You use your Law to teach them.
94:13  When those people have troubles, you keep them safe. Then the wicked people fall into a deep hole that you have dug to catch them.
94:14  The Lord will not leave his people alone. He will not forget to help the people that belong to him.
94:15  Once again, judges will do what is right and fair, and good, honest people will agree.
94:16  Who would fight for me against the wicked people? Who would keep me safe from the people who do evil things?
94:17  Unless the Lord had helped me, I would soon have become silent in death.
94:18  When I think, ‘I am falling down,’ your faithful love keeps me safe, Lord.
94:19  When I have troubles in my mind, so that I am afraid, you help me to be happy again.
94:20  You will not become a friend of cruel rulers. They make laws that only hurt people.
94:21  They join together to work against good people. They say that people are guilty who have done nothing wrong. They say that they must die.
94:22  But the Lord is a strong place for me. Yes, my God is a rock where I can hide and be safe.
94:23  He will punish those wicked leaders. He will destroy them, because they do evil things. The Lord our God will completely destroy them.
