94:1 Lord, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth!
94:2 Rise up, Judge of the earth, Pay back retribution to the proud.
94:3 How long, Lord, shall the wicked— How long shall the wicked triumph?
94:4 They pour out words, they speak arrogantly; All who do injustice boast.
94:5 They crush Your people, Lord, And afflict Your inheritance.
94:6 They kill the widow and the stranger And murder the orphans.
94:7 They have said, “The Lord does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob perceive.”
94:8 Pay attention, you stupid ones among the people; And when will you understand, foolish ones?
94:9 He who planted the ear, does He not hear? Or He who formed the eye, does He not see?
94:10 He who disciplines the nations, will He not rebuke, He who teaches mankind knowledge?
94:11 The Lord knows human thoughts, That they are mere breath.
94:12 Blessed is the man whom You discipline, Lord, And whom You teach from Your Law,
94:13 So that You may grant him relief from the days of adversity, Until a pit is dug for the wicked.
94:14 For the Lord will not abandon His people, Nor will He abandon His inheritance.
94:15 For judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart will follow it.
94:16 Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against those who do injustice?
94:17 If the Lord had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in the land of silence.
94:18 If I should say, “My foot has slipped,” Your faithfulness, Lord, will support me.
94:19 When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your comfort delights my soul.
94:20 Can a throne of destruction be allied with You, One which devises mischief by decree?
94:21 They band themselves together against the life of the righteous And condemn the innocent to death.
94:22 But the Lord has been my refuge, And my God the rock of my refuge.
94:23 He has brought back their injustice upon them, And He will destroy them in their evil; The Lord our God will destroy them.
