PSALM XCIV. 1 God of vengeances, Jehovah, God of vengeances, shine forth. 2 Lift up Thyself, Judge of the earth, Return recompense to the proud. 3 For how long, Jehovah, shall the wicked, For how long shall the wicked exult? 4 They well out, they speak--arrogance, They give themselves airs like princes--all these workers of iniquity. 5 Thy people, Jehovah, they crush in pieces, And Thine inheritance they afflict. 6 Widow and stranger they kill, And orphans they murder. 7 And they say, "Jah sees [it] not, And the God of Jacob considers it not." 8 Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye fools, when will ye be wise? 9 The Planter of the ear, shall He not hear? Or the Former of the eye, shall He not see? 10 The Instructor of the nations, shall He not punish,-- The Teacher of knowledge to man? 11 Jehovah knows the thoughts of men, For they are [but] a breath. 12 Happy the man whom Thou instructest, Jehovah, And teachest from Thy law, 13 To give him rest from the days of evil, Till there be digged for the wicked a pit. 14 For Jehovah will not spurn away His people, And His inheritance He will not forsake. 15 For to righteousness shall judgment return, And after it shall all the upright in heart [follow]. 16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will set himself for me against the workers of iniquity? 17 Unless Jehovah had been a help for me, My soul had soon dwelt in silence. 18 When I say, "My foot slips," Thy loving-kindness, Jehovah, stays me. 19 In the multitude of my divided thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul. 20 Can the throne of destruction be confederate with Thee, Which frameth mischief by statute? 21 They come in troops against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood they condemn. 22 But Jehovah is to me a high tower, And my God the rock of my refuge. 23 And He brings back upon them their iniquities, And by their own evil will He root them out, Jehovah our God will root them out.
