# Psalm 94 [[Ps-93|← Psalm 93]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-95|Psalm 95 →]] *** ###### v1 Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out. ###### v2 Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve. ###### v3 Yahweh, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph? ###### v4 They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast. ###### v5 They break your people in pieces, Yahweh, and afflict your heritage. ###### v6 They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless. ###### v7 They say, "Yah will not see, neither will Jacob's God consider." ###### v8 Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise? ###### v9 He who implanted the ear, won't he hear? He who formed the eye, won't he see? ###### v10 He who disciplines the nations, won't he punish? He who teaches man knows. ###### v11 Yahweh knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile. ###### v12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your law, ###### v13 that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked. ###### v14 For Yahweh won't reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. ###### v15 For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it. ###### v16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers? ###### v17 Unless Yahweh had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence. ###### v18 When I said, "My foot is slipping!" Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up. ###### v19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul. ###### v20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute? ###### v21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. ###### v22 But Yahweh has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge. ###### v23 He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Yahweh, our God, will cut them off. *** [[Ps-93|← Psalm 93]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-95|Psalm 95 →]]
