94:1 O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth!
94:2 Rise up, O judge of the earth; repay 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 sojourner, and murder the fatherless;
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, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge—
94:11 the LORD—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.
94:12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O LORD, and whom you teach out of your law,
94:13 to give him rest 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 slips,” 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 frame injustice 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 bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the LORD our God will wipe them out.
