Psalms 94
1 LORD, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.
| אֵל־נְקָמוֹת יְהוָה אֵל נְקָמוֹת הוֹפִֽיעַ׃ |
2 Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.
| הִנָּשֵׂא שֹׁפֵט הָאָרֶץ הָשֵׁב גְּמוּל עַל־גֵּאִֽים׃ |
3 LORD, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?
| עַד־מָתַי רְשָׁעִים ׀ יְהוָה עַד־מָתַי רְשָׁעִים יַעֲלֹֽזוּ׃ |
4 They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.
| יַבִּיעוּ יְדַבְּרוּ עָתָק יִֽתְאַמְּרוּ כָּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ |
5 They break your people in pieces, LORD, and afflict your heritage.
| עַמְּךָ יְהוָה יְדַכְּאוּ וְֽנַחֲלָתְךָ יְעַנּֽוּ׃ |
6 They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.
| אַלְמָנָה וְגֵר יַהֲרֹגוּ וִֽיתוֹמִים יְרַצֵּֽחוּ׃ |
7 They say, “The LORD will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.”
| וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹא יִרְאֶה־יָּהּ וְלֹא־יָבִין אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹֽב׃ |
8 Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise?
| בִּינוּ בֹּעֲרִים בָּעָם וּכְסִילִים מָתַי תַּשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃ |
9 He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear? He who formed the eye, won’t he see?
| הֲנֹטַֽע אֹזֶן הֲלֹא יִשְׁמָע אִֽם־יֹצֵֽר עַיִן הֲלֹא יַבִּֽיט׃ |
10 He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows.
| הֲיֹסֵר גּוֹיִם הֲלֹא יוֹכִיחַ הַֽמְלַמֵּד אָדָם דָּֽעַת׃ |
11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
| יְֽהוָה יֹדֵעַ מַחְשְׁבוֹת אָדָם כִּי־הֵמָּה הָֽבֶל׃ |
12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, LORD, and teach out of your law,
| אַשְׁרֵי ׀ הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר־תְּיַסְּרֶנּוּ יָּהּ וּֽמִתּוֹרָתְךָ תְלַמְּדֶֽנּוּ׃ |
13 that you may 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 won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
| כִּי ׀ לֹא־יִטֹּשׁ יְהוָה עַמּוֹ וְנַחֲלָתוֹ לֹא יַעֲזֹֽב׃ |
15 For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.
| כִּֽי־עַד־צֶדֶק יָשׁוּב מִשְׁפָּט וְאַחֲרָיו כָּל־יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃ |
16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?
| מִֽי־יָקוּם לִי עִם־מְרֵעִים מִֽי־יִתְיַצֵּב לִי עִם־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ |
17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.
| לוּלֵי יְהוָה עֶזְרָתָה לִּי כִּמְעַט ׀ שָֽׁכְנָה דוּמָה נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your loving kindness, LORD, held me up.
| אִם־אָמַרְתִּי מָטָה רַגְלִי חַסְדְּךָ יְהוָה יִסְעָדֵֽנִי׃ |
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.
| בְּרֹב שַׂרְעַפַּי בְּקִרְבִּי תַּנְחוּמֶיךָ יְֽשַׁעַשְׁעוּ נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?
| הַֽיְחָבְרְךָ 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 has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.
| וַיְהִי יְהוָה לִי לְמִשְׂגָּב וֵאלֹהַי לְצוּר מַחְסִֽי׃ |
23 He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. The LORD, our God, will cut them off.
| וַיָּשֶׁב עֲלֵיהֶם ׀ אֶת־אוֹנָם וּבְרָעָתָם יַצְמִיתֵם יַצְמִיתֵם יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ |
