< תהילים 94 >

אֵל־נְקָמוֹת יְהֹוָה אֵל נְקָמוֹת הוֹפִֽיעַ׃ 1
Yahweh, God who avenges, God who avenges, shine over us.
הִנָּשֵׂא שֹׁפֵט הָאָרֶץ הָשֵׁב גְּמוּל עַל־גֵּאִֽים׃ 2
Rise up, judge of the earth, give to the proud what they deserve.
עַד־מָתַי רְשָׁעִים ׀ יְהֹוָה עַד־מָתַי רְשָׁעִים יַעֲלֹֽזוּ׃ 3
How long will the wicked, Yahweh, how long will the wicked rejoice?
יַבִּיעוּ יְדַבְּרוּ עָתָק יִתְאַמְּרוּ כׇּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ 4
They pour out their arrogant words; all those who do evil boast.
עַמְּךָ יְהֹוָה יְדַכְּאוּ וְֽנַחֲלָתְךָ יְעַנּֽוּ׃ 5
They crush your people, Yahweh; they afflict the nation that belongs to you.
אַלְמָנָה וְגֵר יַהֲרֹגוּ וִיתוֹמִים יְרַצֵּֽחוּ׃ 6
They kill the widow and foreigner who lives in their country, and they murder the fatherless.
וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹא יִרְאֶה־יָּהּ וְלֹא־יָבִין אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹֽב׃ 7
They say, “Yahweh will not see, the God of Jacob does not take notice of it.”
בִּינוּ בֹּעֲרִים בָּעָם וּכְסִילִים מָתַי תַּשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃ 8
Understand, you stupid people! You fools, when will you ever learn?
הֲנֹטַֽע אֹזֶן הֲלֹא יִשְׁמָע אִֽם־יֹצֵֽר עַיִן הֲלֹא יַבִּֽיט׃ 9
He who made the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see?
הֲיֹסֵר גּוֹיִם הֲלֹא יוֹכִיחַ הַֽמְלַמֵּד אָדָם דָּֽעַת׃ 10
He who disciplines the nations, does he not correct? He is the one who gives knowledge to man.
יְֽהֹוָה יֹדֵעַ מַחְשְׁבוֹת אָדָם כִּי־הֵמָּה הָֽבֶל׃ 11
Yahweh knows the thoughts of men, that they are vapor.
אַשְׁרֵי ׀ הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר־תְּיַסְּרֶנּוּ יָּהּ וּֽמִתּוֹרָתְךָ תְלַמְּדֶֽנּוּ׃ 12
Blessed is the one whom you instruct, Yahweh, the one whom you teach from your law.
לְהַשְׁקִיט לוֹ מִימֵי רָע עַד יִכָּרֶה לָרָשָׁע שָֽׁחַת׃ 13
You give him rest in times of trouble until a pit is dug for the wicked.
כִּי ׀ לֹא־יִטֹּשׁ יְהֹוָה עַמּוֹ וְנַחֲלָתוֹ לֹא יַעֲזֹֽב׃ 14
For Yahweh will not forsake his people or abandon his inheritance.
כִּֽי־עַד־צֶדֶק יָשׁוּב מִשְׁפָּט וְאַחֲרָיו כׇּל־יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃ 15
For judgment will again be righteous; and all the upright in heart will follow it.
מִֽי־יָקוּם לִי עִם־מְרֵעִים מִי־יִתְיַצֵּב לִי עִם־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ 16
Who will rise up to defend me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the wicked?
לוּלֵי יְהֹוָה עֶזְרָתָה לִּי כִּמְעַט ׀ שָׁכְנָה דוּמָה נַפְשִֽׁי׃ 17
Unless Yahweh had been my help, I would soon be lying down in the place of silence.
אִם־אָמַרְתִּי מָטָה רַגְלִי חַסְדְּךָ יְהֹוָה יִסְעָדֵֽנִי׃ 18
When I said, “My foot is slipping,” Your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, held me up.
בְּרֹב שַׂרְעַפַּי בְּקִרְבִּי תַּנְחוּמֶיךָ יְֽשַׁעַשְׁעוּ נַפְשִֽׁי׃ 19
When cares within me are many, your consolations make me happy.
הַֽיְחׇבְרְךָ כִּסֵּא הַוּוֹת יֹצֵר עָמָל עֲלֵי־חֹֽק׃ 20
Can a throne of destruction be allied with you, one who creates injustice by statute?
יָגוֹדּוּ עַל־נֶפֶשׁ צַדִּיק וְדָם נָקִי יַרְשִֽׁיעוּ׃ 21
They conspire together to take the life of the righteous and they condemn the innocent to death.
וַיְהִי יְהֹוָה לִי לְמִשְׂגָּב וֵאלֹהַי לְצוּר מַחְסִֽי׃ 22
But Yahweh has been my high tower, and my God has been the rock of my refuge.
וַיָּשֶׁב עֲלֵיהֶם ׀ אֶת־אוֹנָם וּבְרָעָתָם יַצְמִיתֵם יַצְמִיתֵם יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ 23
He will bring on them their own iniquity and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Yahweh our God will cut them off.
