Chapter 94

1


 

  O God, in whose hands is punishment, O God of punishment, let your shining face be seen.  

 

 

-

2


 

  Be lifted up, O judge of the earth; let their reward come to the men of pride.  

 

 

-

3


 

  How long will sinners, O Lord, how long will sinners have joy over us?  

 

 

-

4


 

  Words of pride come from their lips; all the workers of evil say great things of themselves.  

 

 

-

5


 

  Your people are crushed by them, O Lord, your heritage is troubled,  

 

 

-

6


 

  They put to death the widow and the guest, they take the lives of children who have no father;  

 

 

-

7


 

  And they say, Jah will not see it, the God of Jacob will not give thought to it.  

 

 

-

8


 

  Give your mind to my words, you who are without wisdom among the people; you foolish men, when will you be wise?  

 

 

-

9


 

  Has he by whom your ears were planted no hearing? or is he blind by whom your eyes were formed?  

 

 

-

10


 

  He who is the judge of the nations, will he not give men the reward of their acts, even he who gives knowledge to man?  

 

 

-

11


 

  The Lord has knowledge of the thoughts of man, for they are only a breath.  

 

 

-

12


 

  Happy is the man who is guided by you, O Jah, and to whom you give teaching out of your law;  

 

 

-

13


 

  So that you may give him rest from the days of evil, till a hole is made ready for the destruction of the sinners.  

 

 

-

14


 

  The Lord will not give up his people, or take away his support from his heritage;  

 

 

-

15


 

  But decisions will again be made in righteousness; and they will be kept by all whose hearts are true.  

 

 

-

16


 

  Who will give me help against the sinners? and who will be my support against the workers of evil?  

 

 

-

17


 

  If the Lord had not been my helper, my soul would quickly have gone down into death.  

 

 

-

18


 

  If I say, My foot is slipping; your mercy, O Lord, is my support.  

 

 

-

19


 

  Among all my troubled thoughts, your comforts are the delight of my soul.  

 

 

-

20


 

  What part with you has the seat of sin, which makes evil into a law?  

 

 

-

21


 

  They are banded together against the soul of the upright, to give decisions against those who have done no wrong.  

 

 

-

22


 

  But the Lord is my safe resting-place; my God is the Rock where I am safe.  

 

 

-

23


 

  And he has made their evil designs come back on themselves, cutting them off in their sin; the Lord our God will put an end to them.
