Psalms 94

¹God of vengeance—YHWH! God of vengeance, shine forth.

²Be lifted up, judging the earth, Send back a repayment on the proud.

³Until when do the wicked, O YHWH—Until when do the wicked exult?

⁴They utter—they speak arrogance, All working iniquity boast about themselves.

⁵Your people, O YHWH, they bruise, And they afflict Your inheritance.

⁶They slay widow and sojourner, And they murder fatherless ones.

⁷And they say, “YAH does not see, And the God of Jacob does not consider.”

⁸Consider, you brutish among the people, And you foolish, when do you act wisely?

⁹He who plants the ear, does He not hear? He who forms the eye, does He not see?

¹⁰He who is instructing nations, does He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge is YHWH.

¹¹He knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

¹²O the blessedness of the man Whom You instruct, O YAH, And teach him out of Your law,

¹³To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is dug for the wicked.

¹⁴For YHWH does not leave His people, And does not forsake His inheritance.

¹⁵For judgment turns back to righteousness, And after it all the upright of heart.

¹⁶Who rises up for me with evildoers? Who stations himself for me with workers of iniquity?

¹⁷Unless YHWH were a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.

¹⁸If I have said, “My foot has slipped,” Your kindness, O YHWH, supports me.

¹⁹In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Your comforts delight my soul.

²⁰Is a throne of mischief joined with You? A framer of perverseness by statute?

²¹They decree against the soul of the righteous, And declare innocent blood wicked.

²²And YHWH is for a high place to me, And my God is for a rock—my refuge,

²³And He turns back their iniquity on them, And in their wickedness cuts them off; Our God YHWH cuts them off!
