Psalms 94:1-13 ▼

1 God of vengeance—YHWH! God of vengeance, shine forth.

2 Be lifted up, judging the earth, || Send back a repayment on the proud.

3 Until when do the wicked, O YHWH—Until when do the wicked exult?

4 They utter—they speak arrogance, || All working iniquity boast [about] themselves.

5 Your people, O YHWH, they bruise, || And they afflict Your inheritance.

6 They slay widow and sojourner, || And they murder fatherless ones.

7 And they say, “YAH does not see, || And the God of Jacob does not consider.”

8 Consider, you brutish among the people, || And you foolish, when do you act wisely?

9 He who plants the ear, does He not hear? He who forms the eye, does He not see?

10 He who is instructing nations, does He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] YHWH.

11 He knows the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.

12 O the blessedness of the man || Whom You instruct, O YAH, || And teach him out of Your law,

13 To give rest to him from days of evil, || While a pit is dug for the wicked.
