94:1O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth,
Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
94:2Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth:
Render to the proud their desert.
94:3Jehovah, how long shall the wicked,
How long shall the wicked triumph?
94:4They prate, they speak arrogantly:
All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.
94:5They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah,
And afflict thy heritage.
94:6They slay the widow and the sojourner,
And murder the fatherless.
94:7And they say, Jehovah will not see,
Neither will the God of Jacob consider.
94:8Consider, ye brutish among the people;
And ye fools, when will ye be wise?
94:9He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?
He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
94:10He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct,
Even he that teacheth man knowledge?
94:11Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man,
vanity.
94:12Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah,
And teachest out of thy law;
94:13That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity,
Until the pit be digged for the wicked.
94:14For Jehovah will not cast off his people,
Neither will he forsake his inheritance.
94:15For judgment shall return unto righteousness;
And all the upright in heart shall follow it.
94:16Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
94:17Unless Jehovah had been my help,
My soul had soon dwelt in silence.
94:18When I said, My foot slippeth;
Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
94:19In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul.
94:20Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee,
Which frameth mischief by statute?
94:21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,
And condemn the innocent blood.
94:22But Jehovah hath been my high tower,
And my God the rock of my refuge.
94:23And he hath brought upon them their own iniquity,
And will cut them off in their own wickedness;
