Psalms 94
1 O LORD, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
| אֵל־נְקָמוֹת יְהֹוָה אֵל נְקָמוֹת הוֹפִֽיעַ׃ |
2 Lift up Thyself, Thou Judge of the earth; render to the proud their recompense.
| הִנָּשֵׂא שֹׁפֵט הָאָרֶץ הָשֵׁב גְּמוּל עַל־גֵּאִֽים׃ |
3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?
| עַד־מָתַי רְשָׁעִים ׀ יְהֹוָה עַד־מָתַי רְשָׁעִים יַעֲלֹֽזוּ׃ |
4 They gush out, they speak arrogancy; all the workers of iniquity bear themselves loftily.
| יַבִּיעוּ יְדַבְּרוּ עָתָק יִתְאַמְּרוּ כׇּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ |
5 They crush Thy people, O LORD, and afflict Thy heritage.
| עַמְּךָ יְהֹוָה יְדַכְּאוּ וְֽנַחֲלָתְךָ יְעַנּֽוּ׃ |
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
| אַלְמָנָה וְגֵר יַהֲרֹגוּ וִיתוֹמִים יְרַצֵּֽחוּ׃ |
7 And they say: 'The LORD will not see, neither will the God of Jacob give heed.'
| וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹא יִרְאֶה־יָּהּ וְלֹא־יָבִין אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹֽב׃ |
8 Consider, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye understand?
| 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 nations, shall not He correct? even He that teacheth man knowledge?
| הֲיֹסֵר גּוֹיִם הֲלֹא יוֹכִיחַ הַֽמְלַמֵּד אָדָם דָּֽעַת׃ |
11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
| יְֽהֹוָה יֹדֵעַ מַחְשְׁבוֹת אָדָם כִּי־הֵמָּה הָֽבֶל׃ |
12 Happy is the man whom Thou instructest, O LORD, and 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 the LORD will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance.
| כִּי ׀ לֹא־יִטֹּשׁ יְהֹוָה עַמּוֹ וְנַחֲלָתוֹ לֹא יַעֲזֹֽב׃ |
15 For right shall return unto justice, 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 up for me against the workers of iniquity?
| מִֽי־יָקוּם לִי עִם־מְרֵעִים מִי־יִתְיַצֵּב לִי עִם־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ |
17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had soon dwelt in silence.
| לוּלֵי יְהֹוָה עֶזְרָתָה לִּי כִּמְעַט ׀ שָׁכְנָה דוּמָה נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
18 If I say: 'My foot slippeth', Thy mercy, O LORD, holdeth me up.
| אִם־אָמַרְתִּי מָטָה רַגְלִי חַסְדְּךָ יְהֹוָה יִסְעָדֵֽנִי׃ |
19 When my cares are many within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
| בְּרֹב שַׂרְעַפַּי בְּקִרְבִּי תַּנְחוּמֶיךָ יְֽשַׁעַשְׁעוּ נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
20 Shall the seat of wickedness have fellowship with Thee, which frameth mischief by statute?
| הַֽיְחׇבְרְךָ כִּסֵּא הַוּוֹת יֹצֵר עָמָל עֲלֵי־חֹֽק׃ |
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
| יָגוֹדּוּ עַל־נֶפֶשׁ צַדִּיק וְדָם נָקִי יַרְשִֽׁיעוּ׃ |
22 But the LORD hath been my high tower, and my God the rock of my refuge.
| וַיְהִי יְהֹוָה לִי לְמִשְׂגָּב וֵאלֹהַי לְצוּר מַחְסִֽי׃ |
23 And He hath brought upon them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil; the LORD our God will cut them off.
| וַיָּשֶׁב עֲלֵיהֶם ׀ אֶת־אוֹנָם וּבְרָעָתָם יַצְמִיתֵם יַצְמִיתֵם יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ |
