Psalms 94
Psalms 94:1. God of vengeance--Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.
Psalms 94:2 Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.
Psalms 94:3 Till when [do] the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult? Psalms 94:4 They utter--they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves. Psalms 94:5 Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.
Psalms 94:6 Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.
Psalms 94:7 And they say, `Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.' Psalms 94:8 Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely? Psalms 94:9 He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?
Psalms 94:10 He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] Jehovah.
Psalms 94:11 He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.
Psalms 94:12. O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,
Psalms 94:13 To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.
Psalms 94:14 For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.
Psalms 94:15 For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart,
Psalms 94:16 Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity?
Psalms 94:17 Unless Jehovah [were] a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence. Psalms 94:18 If I have said, `My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me. Psalms 94:19 In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
Psalms 94:20 Is a throne of mischief joined [with] Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute? Psalms 94:21 They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked. Psalms 94:22 And Jehovah is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for a rock--my refuge,
Psalms 94:23 And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off!
