94:1  The Lord is a God who gives people what they should get. God, show your greatness and punish!
94:2  Rise up, Judge of the earth. Give the proud what they should get.
94:3  How long will the wicked be happy? How long, Lord?
94:4  They are full of proud words. Those who do evil brag about what they have done.
94:5  Lord, they crush your people. They make your children suffer.
94:6  They kill widows and foreigners. They murder orphans.
94:7  They say, “The Lord doesn’t see. The God of Jacob doesn’t notice.”
94:8  You stupid ones among the people, pay attention. You fools, when will you understand?
94:9  Can’t the creator of ears hear? Can’t the maker of eyes see?
94:10  Won’t the one who corrects nations punish you? Doesn’t the teacher of men know everything?
94:11  The Lord knows what people think. He knows they are just a puff of wind.
94:12  Lord, those you correct are happy. You give them your teachings.
94:13  You give them rest from times of trouble until a grave is dug for the wicked.
94:14  The Lord won’t leave his people. He will not give up his children.
94:15  Judgment will again be fair. And all who are honest will follow it.
94:16  Who will help me fight against the wicked? Who will stand with me against those who do evil?
94:17  If the Lord had not helped me, I would have died soon.
94:18  I said, “I am about to be overwhelmed.” But, Lord, your love kept me safe.
94:19  I was very worried. But you comforted me and made me happy.
94:20  Crooked leaders cannot be your friends. They use the law to cause suffering.
94:21  They join forces against people who do right. They sentence to death the innocent.
94:22  But the Lord protects me like a strong, walled city. My God is the rock of my protection.
94:23  God will pay them back for their sins. He will destroy them for their evil. The Lord our God will destroy them.
