PSALM 94

The LORD Recompenses Evil

A psalm to David; fourth of Sabbath.

1 The God of acts of vengeance. The lord God of acts of vengeance spoke openly. 2 Rise up high, O one judging the earth! Render recompense to the proud! 3 For how long sinners, O lord, how long shall sinners boast? 4 They will utter and speak injustice; [⁵shall speak ¹all ²the ones ³practicing ⁴iniquity]. 5 Your people, O lord, they humbled; and [²your inheritance ¹they inflicted evil on]. 6 The widow and orphan they killed; and the foreigner they murdered. 7 And they said, [²shall not ³see ¹the lord], nor shall [⁴perceive ¹the ²God ³of Jacob]. 8 Perceive indeed foolish among the people! and O moron, [²at some time or other ¹think]! 9 The one planting the ear, does he not hear? or the one shaping the eye, does he not contemplate? 10 The one correcting nations, shall he not reprove? The one teaching man knowledge; 11 the lord, he knows the thoughts of men, for they are vain. 12 Blessed is a man whom ever you should correct, O lord, and from out of your law you should teach him; 13 to calm him from [²days ¹evil], until of which time he should have dug [²for the ³sinner ¹the pit]. 14 For [²shall not ³thrust away ¹the lord] his people, and [³his inheritance ¹he shall not ²abandon]; 15 until of which time righteousness returns for judgment, and having it are all the straight in heart. PAUSE. 16 Who shall rise up to me against the ones acting wickedly? or who shall stand up with me against the ones working lawlessness? 17 Unless that the lord helped me, [²would ³shortly ⁴have sojourned ⁵in Hades ¹my soul]. 18 If I said, [²shakes ¹My foot]; your mercy, O lord, helps me. 19 According to the multitude of my griefs in my heart, so your comforts made glad my soul. 20 Shall [³adhere with ⁴you ¹the throne ²of lawlessness], the one shaping trouble out of order? 21 They shall hunt for [²soul ¹a just], and [³blood ²innocent ¹condemn]. 22 But [²became ³to me ¹the lord] for a refuge; and my God for a helper of my hope. 23 And he shall recompense to them their lawlessness; and according to their wickedness [³shall remove them from view ¹The lord ²God].
