←Prev   Psalms 94 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


94:1  God of vengeance, Adonai, God of vengeance, shine forth!
94:2  Rise up, O Judge of the earth! Pay back to the proud what they deserve.
94:3  How long will the wicked, Adonai, how long will the wicked gloat?
94:4  They gush out, they speak arrogance— all the evildoers keep boasting.
94:5  They crush Your people, Adonai, and afflict Your heritage.
94:6  They slay the widow and the outsider, and murder the fatherless.
94:7  So they say: “Adonai does not see— the God of Jacob pays no attention.”
94:8  Pay attention, stupid among the people! Fools, when will you comprehend?
94:9  He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see?
94:10  He who chastens nations, will He not rebuke— One who teaches humanity knowledge?
94:11  Adonai knows human thoughts— they are but a breath.
94:12  Blessed is the one You discipline, Adonai, and teach him from Your Torah,
94:13  to give him rest from days of trouble —until a pit is dug for the wicked.
94:14  For Adonai will not forsake His people. He will never abandon His inheritance.
94:15  For rightness will be restored to justice, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
94:16  Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against evildoers?
94:17  Unless Adonai had been my help, my soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
94:18  If I say: “My foot has slipped,” Your mercy, Adonai, will hold me up.
94:19  When my troubling thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations comfort my soul.
94:20  Can a throne of corruption be aligned with You—planning distress by decree?
94:21  They band together against the life of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
94:22  But Adonai has been my fortress and my God the rock of my refuge.
94:23  He will repay them for their wickedness, and will annihilate them in their evil. Adonai our God will annihilate them.
