Psalm 94:1-11

Complete Jewish Bible

94 God of vengeance, Adonai!
God of vengeance, appear!
² Assert yourself as judge of the earth!
Pay back the proud as they deserve!

³ How long are the wicked, Adonai,
how long are the wicked to triumph?
⁴ They pour out insolent words,
they go on bragging, all these evildoers.

⁵ They crush your people, Adonai,
they oppress your heritage.
⁶ They kill widows and strangers
and murder the fatherless.

⁷ They say, “Yah isn’t looking;
the God of Ya‘akov won’t notice.”
⁸ Take notice, yourselves, you boors among the people!
You fools, when will you understand?
⁹ Will the one who planted the ear not hear?
Will the one who formed the eye not see?
¹⁰ Will the one who disciplines nations not correct them?
Will the teacher of humanity not know?
¹¹ Adonai understands that people’s thoughts
are merely a puff of wind.
