Psalms 94:1-13 ▼

1 O God of vengeances, Jehovah, God of vengeances, shine forth;

2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud.

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

4 [How long] shall they utter [and] speak insolence -- all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

5 They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance;

6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless,

7 And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard [it].

8 Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise?

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

10 He that instructeth the nations, shall not he correct -- he that teacheth man knowledge?

11 Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law;

13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
