[94:1] O Lord, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth!
[94:2] Rise up, O judge of the earth; repay to the proud what they deserve!
[94:3] O Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?
[94:4] They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers boast.
[94:5] They crush your people, O Lord, and afflict your heritage.
[94:6] They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless;
[94:7] and they say, “The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive.”
[94:8] Understand, O dullest of the people! Fools, when will you be wise?
[94:9] He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see?
[94:10] He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge—
[94:11] the Lord—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.
[94:12] Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O Lord, and whom you teach out of your law,
[94:13] to give him rest from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
[94:14] For the Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage;
[94:15] for justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
[94:16] Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers?
[94:17] If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.
[94:18] When I thought, “My foot slips,” your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up.
[94:19] When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.
[94:20] Can wicked rulers be allied with you, those who frame injustice by statute?
[94:21] They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
[94:22] But the Lord has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.
[94:23] He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the Lord our God will wipe them out.
