Psalms 94:1-13 ▼

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

2 Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Render recompense to the proud.

3 How long shall the wicked, O Yahweh, How long shall the wicked exult?

4 They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly; All workers of iniquity vaunt themselves.

5 They crush Your people, O Yahweh, And afflict Your inheritance.

6 They slay the widow and the sojourner And murder the orphans.

7 They have said, “Yah does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob discern.”

8 Discern, you senseless among the people; And when will you have insight, you fools?

9 He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see?

10 He who disciplines the nations, will He not rebuke, Even He who teaches man knowledge?

11 Yahweh knows the thoughts of man, That they are vanity.

12 Blessed is the man whom You discipline, O Yah, And whom You teach out of Your law;

13 That You may grant him calm from the days of calamity, Until a pit is dug for the wicked.
