תהילים 94

1 אֵל־נְקָמוֹת יְהֹוָה אֵל נְקָמוֹת הוֹפִֽיעַ׃

Adonai, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.

2 הִנָּשֵׂא שֹׁפֵט הָאָרֶץ הָשֵׁב גְּמוּל עַל־גֵּאִֽים׃

Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.

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

Adonai, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?

4 יַבִּיעוּ יְדַבְּרוּ עָתָק יִתְאַמְּרוּ כׇּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

They pour out arrogant words. All those who practice vain striving of iniquity boast.

5 עַמְּךָ יְהֹוָה יְדַכְּאוּ וְֽנַחֲלָתְךָ יְעַנּֽוּ׃

They break your people in pieces, Adonai, and afflict your heritage.

6 אַלְמָנָה וְגֵר יַהֲרֹגוּ וִיתוֹמִים יְרַצֵּֽחוּ׃

They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.

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

They say, “Yah will not see, neither will Jacob [Supplanter]’s God consider.”

8 בִּינוּ בֹּעֲרִים בָּעָם וּכְסִילִים מָתַי תַּשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃

Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise?

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

He who implanted the ear, won’t he sh'ma ·hear obey·? He who formed the eye, won’t he see?

10 הֲיֹסֵר גּוֹיִם הֲלֹא יוֹכִיחַ הַֽמְלַמֵּד אָדָם דָּֽעַת׃

He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows.

11 יְֽהֹוָה יֹדֵעַ מַחְשְׁבוֹת אָדָם כִּי־הֵמָּה הָֽבֶל׃

Adonai knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.

12 אַשְׁרֵי ׀ הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר־תְּיַסְּרֶנּוּ יָּהּ וּֽמִתּוֹרָתְךָ תְלַמְּדֶֽנּוּ׃

Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your Torah ·Teaching·;

13 לְהַשְׁקִיט לוֹ מִימֵי רָע עַד יִכָּרֶה לָרָשָׁע שָֽׁחַת׃

that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.

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

For Adonai won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

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

For judgment will teshuvah ·completely return· to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.

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

Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against those who practice vain striving of iniquity?

17 לוּלֵי יְהֹוָה עֶזְרָתָה לִּי כִּמְעַט ׀ שָׁכְנָה דוּמָה נַפְשִֽׁי׃

Unless Adonai had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.

18 אִם־אָמַרְתִּי מָטָה רַגְלִי חַסְדְּךָ יְהֹוָה יִסְעָדֵֽנִי׃

When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your chesed ·loving-kindness·, Adonai, held me up.

19 בְּרֹב שַׂרְעַפַּי בְּקִרְבִּי תַּנְחוּמֶיךָ יְֽשַׁעַשְׁעוּ נַפְשִֽׁי׃

In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.

20 הַֽיְחׇבְרְךָ כִּסֵּא הַוּוֹת יֹצֵר עָמָל עֲלֵי־חֹֽק׃

Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?

21 יָגוֹדּוּ עַל־נֶפֶשׁ צַדִּיק וְדָם נָקִי יַרְשִֽׁיעוּ׃

They gather themselves together against the soul of the upright, and condemn as guilty the innocent blood.

22 וַיְהִי יְהֹוָה לִי לְמִשְׂגָּב וֵאלֹהַי לְצוּר מַחְסִֽי׃

But Adonai has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.

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

He has brought on them their own vain striving of iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Adonai, our God, will cut them off.
