94:1 O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.

94:2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: Render to the proud [their] desert.

94:3 Jehovah, how long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph?

94:4 They prate, they speak arrogantly: All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.

94:5 They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah, And afflict thy heritage.

94:6 They slay the widow and the sojourner, And murder the fatherless.

94:7 And they say, Jehovah will not see, Neither will the God of Jacob consider.

94:8 Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye be wise?

94:9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?

94:10 He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct, [Even] he that teacheth man knowledge?

94:11 Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, That they are vanity.

94:12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah, And teachest out of thy law;

94:13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit be digged for the wicked.

94:14 For Jehovah will not cast off his people, Neither will he forsake his inheritance.

94:15 For judgment shall return unto righteousness; And all the upright in heart shall follow it.

94:16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

94:17 Unless Jehovah had been my help, My soul had soon dwelt in silence.

94:18 When I said, My foot slippeth; Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up.

94:19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul.

94:20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee, Which frameth mischief by statute?

94:21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, And condemn the innocent blood.

94:22 But Jehovah hath been my high tower, And my God the rock of my refuge.
