| Chapter 94 |
1 |
O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
|
2 |
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: Render to the proud [their] desert.
|
3 |
Jehovah, how long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph?
|
4 |
They prate, they speak arrogantly: All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.
|
5 |
They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah, And afflict thy heritage.
|
6 |
They slay the widow and the sojourner, And murder the fatherless.
|
7 |
And they say, Jehovah will not see, Neither will the God of Jacob consider.
|
8 |
Consider, 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 chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct, [Even] 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 Jehovah, And teachest out of thy law;
|
13 |
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit be digged for the wicked.
|
14 |
For Jehovah will not cast off his people, Neither will he forsake his inheritance.
|
15 |
For judgment shall return unto righteousness; And all the upright in heart shall follow it.
|
16 |
Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
|
17 |
Unless Jehovah had been my help, My soul had soon dwelt in silence.
|
18 |
When I said, My foot slippeth; Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
|
19 |
In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul.
|
20 |
Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee, Which frameth mischief by statute?
|
21 |
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, And condemn the innocent blood.
|
22 |
But Jehovah hath been my high tower, And my God the rock of my refuge.
|
23 |
And he hath brought upon them their own iniquity, And will cut them off in their own wickedness; Jehovah our God will cut them off. Psalm 95
