Tehillim 94
Orthodox Jewish Bible
94 Hashem G-d, to whom vengeance belongeth; O G-d, to whom vengeance belongeth, show Thyself.
2 Rise up, Thou Shofet HaAretz; render gemul (recompense, desert) to the ge’im (proud ones).
3 Ad mosai, Hashem, shall the resha’im, how long shall the resha’im triumph?
4 How long shall they utter and speak malicious lies? And all the po’alei aven (workers of iniquity) glorify themselves?
5 They crush Thy people, Hashem, and afflict Thine nachalah.
6 They slay the almanah and the ger, and murder the yetomim (fatherless, orphans).
7 Yet they say, Hashem shall not see, neither shall the Elohei Ya’akov regard it.
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye kesilim (fools), when will ye get seichel?
9 He that planted the ozen (ear), shall He not hear? He that formed the ayin (eye), shall He not see?
10 He that chastiseth the Goyim, shall not He reprove? He that is the melamed (teacher) of da’as to adam?
11 Hashem knoweth the machshevot (thoughts) of adam, that they are hevel (vanity, futile).
12 Ashrei (blessed) is the gever whom Thou chastenest, Hashem, and teachest him out of Thy torah;
13 That Thou mayest grant him relief from the days of rah, until a shachat (pit) is dug for the rasha.
14 For Hashem will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His nachalah.
15 But mishpat shall revert unto tzedek; and all the yishrei lev (upright in heart) shall follow after it.
16 Who will rise up for Me against the evildoers? Or who will take a stand for Me against the po’alei aven (workers of iniquity)?
17 Unless Hashem had been my help, my nefesh had almost dwelt in dumah (silence).
18 When I said, My regel (foot) slippeth, Thy chesed, Hashem, held me up.
19 In the multitude of my anxieties within me Thy comforts delight my nefesh.
20 Shall the kisse of corruption have chavurah (fellowship) with Thee, those, which deviseth evil by a chok (statute)?
21 They band together against the nefesh of the tzaddik, and condemn dahm naki (innocent blood).
22 But Hashem is my stronghold; and Elohai is the Tzur of my refuge.
23 And He shall turn back upon them their own iniquity, and shall destroy them for their own wickedness; Hashem Eloheinu shall destroy them.

Psalm 94
1 The Lord is a God who avenges.(A)
O God who avenges, shine forth.(B)
2 Rise up,(C) Judge(D) of the earth;
pay back(E) to the proud what they deserve.
3 How long, Lord, will the wicked,
how long will the wicked be jubilant?(F)
4 They pour out arrogant(G) words;
all the evildoers are full of boasting.(H)
5 They crush your people,(I) Lord;
they oppress your inheritance.(J)
6 They slay the widow(K) and the foreigner;
they murder the fatherless.(L)
7 They say, “The Lord does not see;(M)
the God of Jacob(N) takes no notice.”
8 Take notice, you senseless ones(O) among the people;
you fools, when will you become wise?
9 Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?
Does he who formed the eye not see?(P)
10 Does he who disciplines(Q) nations not punish?
Does he who teaches(R) mankind lack knowledge?
11 The Lord knows all human plans;(S)
he knows that they are futile.(T)
12 Blessed is the one you discipline,(U) Lord,
the one you teach(V) from your law;
13 you grant them relief from days of trouble,(W)
till a pit(X) is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not reject his people;(Y)
he will never forsake his inheritance.
15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,(Z)
and all the upright in heart(AA) will follow it.
16 Who will rise up(AB) for me against the wicked?
Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?(AC)
17 Unless the Lord had given me help,(AD)
I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.(AE)
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,(AF)”
your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
19 When anxiety(AG) was great within me,
your consolation(AH) brought me joy.
20 Can a corrupt throne(AI) be allied with you—
a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?(AJ)
21 The wicked band together(AK) against the righteous
and condemn the innocent(AL) to death.(AM)
22 But the Lord has become my fortress,
and my God the rock(AN) in whom I take refuge.(AO)
23 He will repay(AP) them for their sins
and destroy(AQ) them for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will destroy them.
