vengeance belongs, shine forth.
094:002 Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud
what they deserve.
094:003 Yahweh, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?
094:004 They pour out arrogant words. All the evil-doers boast.
094:005 They break your people in pieces, Yahweh, and afflict your heritage.
094:006 They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.
094:007 They say, "Yah will not see, neither will Jacob's God consider."
094:008 Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools,
when will you be wise?
094:009 He who implanted the ear, won't he hear? He who formed the eye,
won't he see?
094:010 He who disciplines the nations, won't he punish?
He who teaches man knows.
094:011 Yahweh knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
094:012 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out
of your law;
094:013 that you may give him rest from the days of adversity,
until the pit is dug for the wicked.
094:014 For Yahweh won't reject his people, neither will he
forsake his inheritance.
094:015 For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright
in heart shall follow it.
094:016 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand
up for me against the evil-doers?
094:017 Unless Yahweh had been my help, my soul would have soon
lived in silence.
094:018 When I said, "My foot is slipping!" Your loving kindness,
Yahweh, held me up.
094:019 In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts
delight my soul.
094:020 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you,
which brings about mischief by statute?
094:021 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,
and condemn the innocent blood.
094:022 But Yahweh has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.
094:023 He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off
in their own wickedness. Yahweh, our God, will cut them off.
095:001 Oh come, let's sing to Yahweh. Let's shout aloud to the rock
of our salvation!
095:002 Let's come before his presence with thanksgiving.
Let's extol him with songs!
095:003 For Yahweh is a great God, a great King above all gods.
095:004 In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights
of the mountains are also his.
095:005 The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.
095:006 Oh come, let's worship and bow down. Let's kneel
before Yahweh, our Maker,
095:007 for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep
in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!
095:008 Don't harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah
in the wilderness,
095:009 when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.
