94:1  O Lord, you God of vengeance, you God of vengeance, shine forth!
94:2  Rise up, O judge of the earth; give to the proud what they deserve!
94:3  O Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?
94:4  They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers boast.
94:5  They crush your people, O Lord, and afflict your heritage.
94:6  They kill the widow and the stranger; they murder the orphan,
94:7  and they say, “The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive.”
94:8  Understand, O dullest of the people; fools, when will you be wise?
94:9  He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see?
94:10  He who disciplines the nations, he who teaches knowledge to humankind, does he not chastise?
94:11  The Lord knows our thoughts, that they are but an empty breath.
94:12  Happy are those whom you discipline, O Lord, and whom you teach out of your law,
94:13  giving them respite from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
94:14  For the Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage;
94:15  for justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
94:16  Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers?
94:17  If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.
94:18  When I thought, “My foot is slipping,” your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up.
94:19  When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.
94:20  Can wicked rulers be allied with you, those who contrive mischief by statute?
94:21  They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
94:22  But the Lord has become my stronghold and my God the rock of my refuge.
94:23  He will repay them for their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the Lord our God will wipe them out.
