Psalms Chapter 94
|
||
1 Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.
|
||
2 Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.
|
||
3 Yahweh, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?
|
||
4 They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.
|
||
5 They break your people in pieces, Yahweh, and afflict your heritage.
|
||
6 They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.
|
||
7 They say, “Yah will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.”
|
||
8 Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise?
|
||
9 He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear? He who formed the eye, won’t he see?
|
||
10 He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows.
|
||
11 Yahweh knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
|
||
12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your law,
|
||
13 that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.
|
||
14 For Yahweh won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
|
||
15 For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.
|
||
16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?
|
||
17 Unless Yahweh had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.
|
||
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up.
|
||
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.
|
||
20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?
|
||
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
|
||
22 But Yahweh has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.
|
||
23 He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Yahweh, our God, will cut them off. |
