94:1  Lord God, you punish the guilty. Show what you are like and punish them now.
94:2  You judge the earth. Come and help us! Pay back those proud people for what they have done.
94:3  How long will the wicked celebrate and be glad?
94:4  All of those cruel people strut and boast,
94:5  and they crush and wound your chosen nation, Lord.
94:6  They murder widows, foreigners, and orphans.
94:7  Then they say, “The Lord God of Jacob doesn't see or know.”
94:8  Can't you fools see? Won't you ever learn?
94:9  God gave us ears and eyes! Can't he hear and see?
94:10  God instructs the nations and gives knowledge to us all. Won't he also correct us?
94:11  The Lord knows how useless our plans really are.
94:12  Our Lord, you bless everyone that you instruct and teach by using your Law.
94:13  You give them rest from their troubles, until a pit can be dug for the wicked.
94:14  You won't turn your back on your chosen nation.
94:15  Justice and fairness will go hand in hand, and all who do right will follow along.
94:16  Who will stand up for me against those cruel people?
94:17  If you had not helped me, Lord, I would soon have gone to the land of silence.
94:18  When I felt my feet slipping, you came with your love and kept me steady.
94:19  And when I was burdened with worries, you comforted me and made me feel secure.
94:20  But you are opposed to dishonest lawmakers
94:21  who gang up to murder innocent victims.
94:22  You, Lord God, are my fortress, that mighty rock where I am safe.
94:23  You will pay back my enemies, and you will wipe them out for the evil they did.
