תהילים 94

1 אֵל־נְקָמוֹת יְהֹוָה אֵל נְקָמוֹת הוֹפִֽיעַ׃

The Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: the God of revenge hath acted freely.

2 הִנָּשֵׂא שֹׁפֵט הָאָרֶץ הָשֵׁב גְּמוּל עַל־גֵּאִֽים׃

Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud.

3 עַד־מָתַי רְשָׁעִים ׀ יְהֹוָה עַד־מָתַי רְשָׁעִים יַעֲלֹֽזוּ׃

How long shall sinners, O Lord: how long shall sinners glory?

4 יַבִּיעוּ יְדַבְּרוּ עָתָק יִתְאַמְּרוּ כׇּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: shall all speak who work injustice?

5 עַמְּךָ יְהֹוָה יְדַכְּאוּ וְֽנַחֲלָתְךָ יְעַנּֽוּ׃

Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: and they have afflicted thy inheritance.

6 אַלְמָנָה וְגֵר יַהֲרֹגוּ וִיתוֹמִים יְרַצֵּֽחוּ׃

They have slain the widow and the stranger: and they have murdered the fatherless.

7 וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹא יִרְאֶה־יָּהּ וְלֹא־יָבִין אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹֽב׃

And they have said: The Lord shall not see: neither shall the God of Jacob understand.

8 בִּינוּ בֹּעֲרִים בָּעָם וּכְסִילִים מָתַי תַּשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃

Understand, ye senseless among the people: and, you fools, be wise at last.

9 הֲנֹטַֽע אֹזֶן הֲלֹא יִשְׁמָע אִֽם־יֹצֵֽר עַיִן הֲלֹא יַבִּֽיט׃

He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?

10 הֲיֹסֵר גּוֹיִם הֲלֹא יוֹכִיחַ הַֽמְלַמֵּד אָדָם דָּֽעַת׃

He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: he that teacheth man knowledge?

11 יְֽהֹוָה יֹדֵעַ מַחְשְׁבוֹת אָדָם כִּי־הֵמָּה הָֽבֶל׃

The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, that they are vain.

12 אַשְׁרֵי ׀ הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר־תְּיַסְּרֶנּוּ יָּהּ וּֽמִתּוֹרָתְךָ תְלַמְּדֶֽנּוּ׃

Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: and shalt teach him out of thy law.

13 לְהַשְׁקִיט לוֹ מִימֵי רָע עַד יִכָּרֶה לָרָשָׁע שָֽׁחַת׃

That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: till a pit be dug for the wicked.

14 כִּי ׀ לֹא־יִטֹּשׁ יְהֹוָה עַמּוֹ וְנַחֲלָתוֹ לֹא יַעֲזֹֽב׃

For the Lord will not cast off his people: neither will he forsake his own inheritance.

15 כִּֽי־עַד־צֶדֶק יָשׁוּב מִשְׁפָּט וְאַחֲרָיו כׇּל־יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃

Until justice be turned into judgment: and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.

16 מִֽי־יָקוּם לִי עִם־מְרֵעִים מִי־יִתְיַצֵּב לִי עִם־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity?

17 לוּלֵי יְהֹוָה עֶזְרָתָה לִּי כִּמְעַט ׀ שָׁכְנָה דוּמָה נַפְשִֽׁי׃

Unless the Lord had been my helper, my soul had almost dwelt in hell. (questioned)

18 אִם־אָמַרְתִּי מָטָה רַגְלִי חַסְדְּךָ יְהֹוָה יִסְעָדֵֽנִי׃

If I said: My foot is moved: thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.

19 בְּרֹב שַׂרְעַפַּי בְּקִרְבִּי תַּנְחוּמֶיךָ יְֽשַׁעַשְׁעוּ נַפְשִֽׁי׃

According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, thy comforts have given joy to my soul.

20 הַֽיְחׇבְרְךָ כִּסֵּא הַוּוֹת יֹצֵר עָמָל עֲלֵי־חֹֽק׃

Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, who framest labour in commandment?

21 יָגוֹדּוּ עַל־נֶפֶשׁ צַדִּיק וְדָם נָקִי יַרְשִֽׁיעוּ׃

They will hunt after the soul of the just, and will condemn innocent blood.

22 וַיְהִי יְהֹוָה לִי לְמִשְׂגָּב וֵאלֹהַי לְצוּר מַחְסִֽי׃

But the Lord is my refuge: and my God the help of my hope.

23 וַיָּשֶׁב עֲלֵיהֶם ׀ אֶת־אוֹנָם וּבְרָעָתָם יַצְמִיתֵם יַצְמִיתֵם יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃

And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: the Lord our God will destroy them.
