- Chapter 94 -

The Lord will not forget his people

1
Yahweh, God who avenges, God who avenges, shine over us.
2
Rise up, judge of the earth, give to the proud what they deserve.
3
How long will the wicked, Yahweh, how long will the wicked rejoice?
4
They pour out their arrogant words; all those who do evil boast.
5
They crush your people, Yahweh; they afflict the nation that belongs to you.
6
They kill the widow and foreigner who lives in their country, and they murder the fatherless.
7
They say, “Yahweh will not see, the God of Jacob does not take notice of it.”
8
Understand, you stupid people! You fools, when will you ever learn?
9
He who made the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see?
10
He who disciplines the nations, does he not correct? He is the one who gives knowledge to man.
11
Yahweh knows the thoughts of men, that they are vapor.
12
Blessed is the one whom you instruct, Yahweh, the one whom you teach from your law.
13
You give him rest in times of trouble until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14
For Yahweh will not forsake his people or abandon his inheritance.
15
For judgment will again be righteous; and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16
Who will rise up to defend me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the wicked?
17
Unless Yahweh had been my help, I would soon be lying down in the place of silence.
18
When I said, “My foot is slipping,” Your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, held me up.
19
When cares within me are many, your consolations make me happy.
20
Can a throne of destruction be allied with you, one who creates injustice by statute?
21
They conspire together to take the life of the righteous and they condemn the innocent to death.
22
But Yahweh has been my high tower, and my God has been the rock of my refuge.
23
He will bring on them their own iniquity and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Yahweh our God will cut them off.

The Lord will not forget his people

1
LORD, 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
LORD, 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, LORD, and afflict your heritage.
6
They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.
7
They say, “The LORD 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
The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
12
Blessed is the man whom you discipline, 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 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 the LORD had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.
18
When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your loving kindness, LORD, 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 the LORD 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. The LORD, our God, will cut them off.
