Ang Diyos na Hukom ng Lahat

94 O Panginoon, ikaw na Diyos ng paghihiganti,
    ikaw na Diyos ng paghihiganti, magningning ka.
Bumangon ka, ikaw na hukom ng lupa,
    ibigay mo sa palalo ang nararapat sa kanila.
O Panginoon, hanggang kailan ang masama,
    hanggang kailan magsasaya ang masama?

Ibinubuhos nila ang kanilang mga salita, nang may kayabangan,
    lahat ng gumagawa ng kasamaan ay nagmamalaki.
O Panginoon, kanilang dinurog ang iyong bayan,
    at ang iyong mana ay sinaktan.
Kanilang pinatay ang balo at ang dayuhan,
    ang ulila ay kanilang pinatay.
At kanilang sinasabi, “Hindi nakikita ng Panginoon,
    ni hindi pinapansin ng Diyos ni Jacob.”

Unawain ninyo, kayong mga hangal sa gitna ng bayan!
    Kailan kayo magiging matatalino, mga hangal?
Siyang naglagay ng pandinig, hindi ba siya nakakarinig?
Siyang lumikha ng mata, hindi ba siya makakakita?
10 Siyang sumusupil sa mga bansa,
    hindi ba siya'y nagpaparusa,
siya na nagtuturo ng kaalaman?
11 Ang(A) mga pag-iisip ng tao ay ang Panginoon ang nakakaalam,
    sila'y gaya lamang ng hiningang walang laman.
12 O Panginoon, mapalad ang tao na iyong sinusupil,
    at tinuturuan ng iyong kautusan,
13 upang mabigyan siya ng kapahingahan mula sa mga araw ng kaguluhan,
    hanggang ang hukay para sa masama ay maihanda.
14 Sapagkat hindi itatakuwil ng Panginoon ang bayan niya,
    hindi niya iiwan ang kanyang mana;
15 sapagkat ang katarungan ay babalik sa katuwiran,
    at ito ay susundin ng lahat ng may matuwid na puso.

16 Sino ang babangon para sa akin laban sa masama?
    Sinong tatayo para sa akin laban sa mga gumagawa ng kasamaan?
17 Kung ang Panginoon ay hindi ko naging saklolo,
    ang kaluluwa ko'y maninirahan na sana sa lupain ng katahimikan.
18 Nang aking sabihin, “Ang aking paa ay dumulas,”
    O Panginoon, aalalayan mo ako ng iyong pag-ibig na wagas.
19 Kapag sa aking puso ay maraming pag-aalaala,
    ang iyong mga pag-aliw ay nagpapasaya sa aking kaluluwa.
20 Makakasanib ba sa iyo ang trono ng kasamaan,
    silang bumabalangkas ng masama sa pamamagitan ng batas?
21 Sila'y nagsasama-sama laban sa buhay ng matuwid,
    at hinahatulan ng kamatayan ang walang sala.
22 Ngunit ang Panginoon ay naging aking muog;
    at ang Diyos ko'y malaking bato na aking kanlungan.
23 At dinala niya sa kanila ang kanilang sariling kasamaan,
    at papawiin sila dahil sa kanilang kasamaan;
    papawiin sila ng Panginoon naming Diyos.

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.

Psalm 94

The Lord is a God who avenges.(A)
    O God who avenges, shine forth.(B)
Rise up,(C) Judge(D) of the earth;
    pay back(E) to the proud what they deserve.
How long, Lord, will the wicked,
    how long will the wicked be jubilant?(F)

They pour out arrogant(G) words;
    all the evildoers are full of boasting.(H)
They crush your people,(I) Lord;
    they oppress your inheritance.(J)
They slay the widow(K) and the foreigner;
    they murder the fatherless.(L)
They say, “The Lord does not see;(M)
    the God of Jacob(N) takes no notice.”

Take notice, you senseless ones(O) among the people;
    you fools, when will you become wise?
Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?
    Does he who formed the eye not see?(P)
10 Does he who disciplines(Q) nations not punish?
    Does he who teaches(R) mankind lack knowledge?
11 The Lord knows all human plans;(S)
    he knows that they are futile.(T)

12 Blessed is the one you discipline,(U) Lord,
    the one you teach(V) from your law;
13 you grant them relief from days of trouble,(W)
    till a pit(X) is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not reject his people;(Y)
    he will never forsake his inheritance.
15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,(Z)
    and all the upright in heart(AA) will follow it.

16 Who will rise up(AB) for me against the wicked?
    Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?(AC)
17 Unless the Lord had given me help,(AD)
    I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.(AE)
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,(AF)
    your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
19 When anxiety(AG) was great within me,
    your consolation(AH) brought me joy.

20 Can a corrupt throne(AI) be allied with you—
    a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?(AJ)
21 The wicked band together(AK) against the righteous
    and condemn the innocent(AL) to death.(AM)
22 But the Lord has become my fortress,
    and my God the rock(AN) in whom I take refuge.(AO)
23 He will repay(AP) them for their sins
    and destroy(AQ) them for their wickedness;
    the Lord our God will destroy them.
