Chapter 94

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

-

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

-

  Jehovah, how long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph?  

-

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

-

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

-

  They slay the widow and the sojourner, And murder the fatherless.  

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

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

-

  And he hath brought upon them their own iniquity, And will cut them off in their own wickedness; Jehovah our God will cut them off. Psalm 95
