📖 Psalms 94
-
1
Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth.
-
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.
