Psalms 94:1-13 ▼

1 God of vengeance, O YHWH, O God of vengeance, shine forth!

2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth! Return a recompense on the proud.

3 Until when will the wicked, O YHWH, until when will the wicked exult?

4 They pour out words of arrogance; all the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.

5 Your people, O YHWH, they crush, and Your heritage they afflict.

6 The widow and the foreigner they kill, and the fatherless they murder.

7 And they say, “Yah does not see, and the God of Jacob does not discern.”

8 Discern, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you⁺ be wise?

9 The One planting the ear, can He not hear? Or the One forming the eye, can He not see?

10 The One disciplining the nations, does He not correct—the One teaching a man knowledge?

11 YHWH knows the thoughts of man, that they are vapor.

12 Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O YAH, and teach him from Your law,

13 that You may give rest to him from the days of evil, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
