94:1  O Lord, the God Who punishes, God Who punishes, let Your light shine!
94:2  Rise up, You Judge of the earth. Pay what is owed to the proud.
94:3  How long will the sinful, O Lord, how long will the sinful be full of joy?
94:4  They pour out proud words. All those who do wrong, talk about themselves as if they are great people.
94:5  They crush Your people, O Lord. They bring trouble upon Your chosen nation.
94:6  They kill the woman whose husband has died and the stranger. They kill the children who have no parents.
94:7  And they say, “The Lord does not see. The God of Jacob does not care.”
94:8  Listen, you foolish ones among the people. You fools, when will you understand?
94:9  He Who made the ear, does He not hear? He Who made the eye, does He not see?
94:10  He Who punishes nations so they might give up sin, will He not speak strong words to them? Is He not the One Who teaches man all he knows?
94:11  The Lord knows the thoughts of man. He knows that they are empty.
94:12  Happy is the man who is punished until he gives up sin, O Lord, and whom You teach from Your Law.
94:13  You give him rest from days of trouble, until a hole is dug for the sinful.
94:14  For the Lord will not turn away from His people. He will not leave His chosen nation.
94:15  For what is decided will be right and good. And all those whose hearts are right will follow it.
94:16  Who will rise up for me against the sinful? Who will take a stand for me against those who do wrong?
94:17  If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would soon have been among the dead.
94:18  When I said, “My foot is going out from under me,” Your loving-kindness held me up, O Lord.
94:19  When my worry is great within me, Your comfort brings joy to my soul.
94:20  Can a sinful throne that brings trouble by its laws be a friend to You?
94:21  They join together against the life of those who are right and good. They send those who are not guilty to their death.
94:22  But the Lord has been my strong place, my God, and the rock where I am safe.
94:23  He has brought back their own sin upon them and will destroy them for their wrong-doing. The Lord our God will destroy them.
