94:1  Hashem G-d, to whom vengeance belongeth; O G-d, to whom vengeance belongeth, show Thyself.
94:2  Rise up, Thou Shofet HaAretz; render gemul (recompense, desert) to the ge’im (proud ones).
94:3  Ad mosai, Hashem, shall the resha’im, how long shall the resha’im triumph?
94:4  How long shall they utter and speak malicious lies? And all the po’alei aven (workers of iniquity) glorify themselves?
94:5  They crush Thy people, Hashem, and afflict Thine nachalah.
94:6  They slay the almanah and the ger, and murder the yetomim (fatherless, orphans).
94:7  Yet they say, Hashem shall not see, neither shall the Elohei Ya’akov regard it.
94:8  Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye kesilim (fools), when will ye get seichel?
94:9  He that planted the ozen (ear), shall He not hear? He that formed the ayin (eye), shall He not see?
94:10  He that chastiseth the Goyim, shall not He reprove? He that is the melamed (teacher) of da’as to adam?
94:11  Hashem knoweth the machshevot (thoughts) of adam, that they are hevel (vanity, futile).
94:12  Ashrei (blessed) is the gever whom Thou chastenest, Hashem, and teachest him out of Thy torah;
94:13  That Thou mayest grant him relief from the days of rah, until a shachat (pit) is dug for the rasha.
94:14  For Hashem will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His nachalah.
94:15  But mishpat shall revert unto tzedek; and all the yishrei lev (upright in heart) shall follow after it.
94:16  Who will rise up for Me against the evildoers? Or who will take a stand for Me against the po’alei aven (workers of iniquity)?
94:17  Unless Hashem had been my help, my nefesh had almost dwelt in dumah (silence).
94:18  When I said, My regel (foot) slippeth, Thy chesed, Hashem, held me up.
94:19  In the multitude of my anxieties within me Thy comforts delight my nefesh.
94:20  Shall the kisse of corruption have chavurah (fellowship) with Thee, those, which deviseth evil by a chok (statute)?
94:21  They band together against the nefesh of the tzaddik, and condemn dahm naki (innocent blood).
94:22  But Hashem is my stronghold; and Elohai is the Tzur of my refuge.
94:23  And He shall turn back upon them their own iniquity, and shall destroy them for their own wickedness; Hashem Eloheinu shall destroy them.
