< Psalms 94 >

1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, show thyself.
אֵל־נְקָמוֹת יְהֹוָה אֵל נְקָמוֹת הוֹפִֽיעַ׃
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
הִנָּשֵׂא שֹׁפֵט הָאָרֶץ הָשֵׁב גְּמוּל עַל־גֵּאִֽים׃
3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
עַד־מָתַי רְשָׁעִים ׀ יְהֹוָה עַד־מָתַי רְשָׁעִים יַעֲלֹֽזוּ׃
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
יַבִּיעוּ יְדַבְּרוּ עָתָק יִתְאַמְּרוּ כׇּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃
5 They break in pieces 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 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹא יִרְאֶה־יָּהּ וְלֹא־יָבִין אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹֽב׃
8 Understand, ye stupid 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 chastiseth the heathen, shall he not correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not know?
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 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
אַשְׁרֵי ׀ הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר־תְּיַסְּרֶנּוּ יָּהּ וּֽמִתּוֹרָתְךָ תְלַמְּדֶֽנּוּ׃
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug 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 But judgment shall return to 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 evildoers? or 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 almost dwelt in silence.
לוּלֵי יְהֹוָה עֶזְרָתָה לִּי כִּמְעַט ׀ שָׁכְנָה דוּמָה נַפְשִֽׁי׃
18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
אִם־אָמַרְתִּי מָטָה רַגְלִי חַסְדְּךָ יְהֹוָה יִסְעָדֵֽנִי׃
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
בְּרֹב שַׂרְעַפַּי בְּקִרְבִּי תַּנְחוּמֶיךָ יְֽשַׁעַשְׁעוּ נַפְשִֽׁי׃
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
הַֽיְחׇבְרְךָ כִּסֵּא הַוּוֹת יֹצֵר עָמָל עֲלֵי־חֹֽק׃
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
יָגוֹדּוּ עַל־נֶפֶשׁ צַדִּיק וְדָם נָקִי יַרְשִֽׁיעוּ׃
22 But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
וַיְהִי יְהֹוָה לִי לְמִשְׂגָּב וֵאלֹהַי לְצוּר מַחְסִֽי׃
23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
וַיָּשֶׁב עֲלֵיהֶם ׀ אֶת־אוֹנָם וּבְרָעָתָם יַצְמִיתֵם יַצְמִיתֵם יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
