Psalms 94 O El of avenging, Yahweh, El of avenging, shine forth!"

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ O El of avenging, Yahweh, El of avenging, shine forth!" ² Lift Yourself up, O Judge of the earth; Turn back a requital upon the proud." ³ How long shall the wicked, O Yahweh, How long shall the wicked be joyous, ⁴ Shall they utter, shall they speak with impertinence, Shall they vaunt themselves, All these contrivers of lawlessness? ⁵ They crush Your people, O Yahweh, And they humble Your allotment." ⁶ They kill the widow and the sojourner, And they murder the orphans." ⁷ They say, Yah is not seeing, And the Elohim of Jacob is not understanding." ⁸ Understand, you irrational ones among the people! And you stupid ones, when shall you act intelligently? ⁹ The One Who planted the ear, shall He not hear? Or the One Who formed the eye, shall He not look? ¹⁰ The One Who disciplines the nations, shall He not correct, The One Who teaches humanity knowledge? ¹¹ Yahweh is the One knowing the devisings of humanity, That they are a transitory breath." ¹² Happy is the master whom You are disciplining, O Yah; From Your law are You teaching him, ¹³ To give him quiet from days of peril, Until a pit is dug for the wicked." ¹⁴ For Yahweh shall not abandon His people, And He shall not forsake His allotment." ¹⁵ For judgment shall turn back to righteousness, And all the upright of heart will follow after it." ¹⁶ Who shall rise for me against evildoers? Who shall stand by for me against contrivers of lawlessness? ¹⁷ Unless Yahweh were my Help, Soon my soul would tabernacle in stillness." ¹⁸ If I say, My foot slips! Your benignity, O Yahweh, it is already bracing me." ¹⁹ When my disquieting thoughts within me are many, Your consolations, they are heartening my soul." ²⁰ Could a throne of woes be made partner with You, One forming misery by its statute? ²¹ They slash against the soul of the righteous, And they condemn innocent blood." ²² But Yahweh shall be my Impregnable Retreat, And my Elohim, the Rock of my refuge." ²³ He shall reverse their lawlessness upon them, And by their evil He shall efface them; Yahweh our Elohim shall efface them."
