Psalms 94
1 O God of vengeances, Jehovah, God of vengeances, shine forth;
| אֵל־נְקָמוֹת יְהֹוָה אֵל נְקָמוֹת הוֹפִֽיעַ׃ |
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud.
| הִנָּשֵׂא שֹׁפֵט הָאָרֶץ הָשֵׁב גְּמוּל עַל־גֵּאִֽים׃ |
3 How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph?
| עַד־מָתַי רְשָׁעִים ׀ יְהֹוָה עַד־מָתַי רְשָׁעִים יַעֲלֹֽזוּ׃ |
4 [How long] shall they utter [and] speak insolence — all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
| יַבִּיעוּ יְדַבְּרוּ עָתָק יִתְאַמְּרוּ כׇּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ |
5 They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance;
| עַמְּךָ יְהֹוָה יְדַכְּאוּ וְֽנַחֲלָתְךָ יְעַנּֽוּ׃ |
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless,
| אַלְמָנָה וְגֵר יַהֲרֹגוּ וִיתוֹמִים יְרַצֵּֽחוּ׃ |
7 And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard [it].
| וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹא יִרְאֶה־יָּהּ וְלֹא־יָבִין אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹֽב׃ |
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
| בִּינוּ בֹּעֲרִים בָּעָם וּכְסִילִים מָתַי תַּשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃ |
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
| הֲנֹטַֽע אֹזֶן הֲלֹא יִשְׁמָע אִֽם־יֹצֵֽר עַיִן הֲלֹא יַבִּֽיט׃ |
10 He that instructeth the nations, shall not he correct — he that teacheth man knowledge?
| הֲיֹסֵר גּוֹיִם הֲלֹא יוֹכִיחַ הַֽמְלַמֵּד אָדָם דָּֽעַת׃ |
11 Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
| יְֽהֹוָה יֹדֵעַ מַחְשְׁבוֹת אָדָם כִּי־הֵמָּה הָֽבֶל׃ |
12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law;
| אַשְׁרֵי ׀ הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר־תְּיַסְּרֶנּוּ יָּהּ וּֽמִתּוֹרָתְךָ תְלַמְּדֶֽנּוּ׃ |
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
| לְהַשְׁקִיט לוֹ מִימֵי רָע עַד יִכָּרֶה לָרָשָׁע שָֽׁחַת׃ |
14 For Jehovah will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
| כִּי ׀ לֹא־יִטֹּשׁ יְהֹוָה עַמּוֹ וְנַחֲלָתוֹ לֹא יַעֲזֹֽב׃ |
15 For judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
| כִּֽי־עַד־צֶדֶק יָשׁוּב מִשְׁפָּט וְאַחֲרָיו כׇּל־יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃ |
16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
| מִֽי־יָקוּם לִי עִם־מְרֵעִים מִי־יִתְיַצֵּב לִי עִם־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ |
17 If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
| לוּלֵי יְהֹוָה עֶזְרָתָה לִּי כִּמְעַט ׀ שָׁכְנָה דוּמָה נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
18 When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
| אִם־אָמַרְתִּי מָטָה רַגְלִי חַסְדְּךָ יְהֹוָה יִסְעָדֵֽנִי׃ |
19 In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul.
| בְּרֹב שַׂרְעַפַּי בְּקִרְבִּי תַּנְחוּמֶיךָ יְֽשַׁעַשְׁעוּ נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
20 Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law?
| הַֽיְחׇבְרְךָ כִּסֵּא הַוּוֹת יֹצֵר עָמָל עֲלֵי־חֹֽק׃ |
21 They band together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
| יָגוֹדּוּ עַל־נֶפֶשׁ צַדִּיק וְדָם נָקִי יַרְשִֽׁיעוּ׃ |
22 But Jehovah will be my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge.
| וַיְהִי יְהֹוָה לִי לְמִשְׂגָּב וֵאלֹהַי לְצוּר מַחְסִֽי׃ |
23 And he will bring upon them their iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil: Jehovah our God will cut them off.
| וַיָּשֶׁב עֲלֵיהֶם ׀ אֶת־אוֹנָם וּבְרָעָתָם יַצְמִיתֵם יַצְמִיתֵם יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ |
