# Chapter 94
|
|
1 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongs—
|
|
O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!
|
|
2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth;
|
|
Render punishment to the proud.
|
|
3 Lord, how long will the wicked,
|
|
How long will the wicked triumph?
|
|
4 They utter speech, and speak insolent things;
|
|
All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.
|
|
5 They break in pieces Your people, O Lord,
|
|
And afflict Your heritage.
|
|
6 They slay the widow and the stranger,
|
|
And murder the fatherless.
|
|
7 Yet they say, “The Lord does not see,
|
|
Nor does the God of Jacob understand.”
|
|
8 Understand, you senseless among the people;
|
|
And you fools, when will you be wise?
|
|
9 He who planted the ear, shall He not hear?
|
|
He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
|
|
10 He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct,
|
|
He who teaches man knowledge?
|
|
11 The Lord knows the thoughts of man,
|
|
That they are futile.
|
|
12 Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord,
|
|
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 the Lord will not cast off His people,
|
|
Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
|
|
15 But judgment will return to righteousness,
|
|
And all the upright in heart will follow it.
|
|
16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?
|
|
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
|
|
17 Unless the Lord had been my help,
|
|
My soul would soon have settled in silence.
|
|
18 If I say, “My foot slips,”
|
|
Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up.
|
|
19 In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
|
|
Your comforts delight my soul.
|
|
20 Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law,
|
|
Have fellowship with You?
|
|
21 They gather together against the life of the righteous,
|
|
And condemn innocent blood.
|
|
22 But the Lord has been my defense,
|
|
And my God the rock of my refuge.
|
|
23 He has brought on them their own iniquity,
|
|
And shall cut them off in their own wickedness;
|
|
The Lord our God shall cut them off. |
