求耶和華興起報復選民之仇

94 耶和華啊,你是申冤的神。申冤的神啊,求你發出光來!
審判世界的主啊,求你挺身而立,使驕傲人受應得的報應!
耶和華啊,惡人誇勝要到幾時呢?要到幾時呢?
他們絮絮叨叨說傲慢的話,一切作孽的人都自己誇張。
耶和華啊,他們強壓你的百姓,苦害你的產業。
他們殺死寡婦和寄居的,又殺害孤兒。
他們說:「耶和華必不看見,雅各的神必不思念。」
你們民間的畜類人當思想!你們愚頑人到幾時才有智慧呢?
造耳朵的,難道自己不聽見嗎?造眼睛的,難道自己不看見嗎?
10 管教列邦的,就是叫人得知識的,難道自己不懲治人嗎?
11 耶和華知道人的意念是虛妄的。

為耶和華懲責訓誨者其人有福

12 耶和華啊,你所管教,用律法所教訓的人是有福的!

13 你使他在遭難的日子得享平安,唯有惡人陷在所挖的坑中。
14 因為耶和華必不丟棄他的百姓,也不離棄他的產業。
15 審判要轉向公義,心裡正直的必都隨從。
16 誰肯為我起來攻擊作惡的?誰肯為我站起抵擋作孽的?
17 若不是耶和華幫助我,我就住在寂靜之中了。
18 我正說「我失了腳」,耶和華啊,那時你的慈愛扶助我。
19 我心裡多憂多疑,你安慰我,就使我歡樂。
20 那藉著律例架弄殘害,在位上行奸惡的,豈能與你相交嗎?
21 他們大家聚集攻擊義人,將無辜的人定為死罪。
22 但耶和華向來做了我的高臺,我的神做了我投靠的磐石。
23 他叫他們的罪孽歸到他們身上,他們正在行惡之中,他要剪除他們——耶和華我們的神要把他們剪除!

The Lord Will Not Forsake His People

94 O Lord, God of (A)vengeance,
    O God of vengeance, (B)shine forth!
(C)Rise up, O (D)judge of the earth;
    repay to the (E)proud what they deserve!
O Lord, (F)how long shall the wicked,
    how long shall (G)the wicked exult?
They pour out their (H)arrogant words;
    all (I)the evildoers boast.
They (J)crush your people, O Lord,
    and afflict your heritage.
They kill (K)the widow and the sojourner,
    and murder (L)the fatherless;
(M)and they say, “The Lord does not see;
    the God of Jacob does not perceive.”

(N)Understand, O dullest of the people!
    Fools, when will you be wise?
(O)He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?
10 He who (P)disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke?
He who (Q)teaches man knowledge—
11     (R)the Lord—knows the thoughts of man,
    that they are (S)but a breath.[a]

12 (T)Blessed is the man whom you (U)discipline, O Lord,
    and whom you teach out of your law,
13 to give him (V)rest from (W)days of trouble,
    until (X)a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 (Y)For the Lord will not forsake his (Z)people;
    he will not abandon his (AA)heritage;
15 for (AB)justice will return to the righteous,
    and all the upright in heart will (AC)follow it.

16 (AD)Who rises up for me against the wicked?
    Who stands up for me against evildoers?
17 (AE)If the Lord had not been my help,
    my soul would soon have lived in the land of (AF)silence.
18 When I thought, (AG)“My foot slips,”
    your steadfast love, O Lord, (AH)held me up.
19 When the cares of my heart are many,
    your consolations cheer my soul.
20 Can (AI)wicked rulers be allied with you,
    those who frame[b] injustice by (AJ)statute?
21 They (AK)band together against the life of the righteous
    and condemn (AL)the innocent to death.[c]
22 But the Lord has become my (AM)stronghold,
    and my God (AN)the rock of my (AO)refuge.
23 He will bring back on them (AP)their iniquity
    and (AQ)wipe them out for their wickedness;
    the Lord our God will wipe them out.
