Salmos 94:2-12

2 Levanta-te, Juiz da terra;retribui aos orgulhosos o que merecem.
3 Até quando os ímpios, SENHOR,até quando os ímpios exultarão?
4 Eles despejam palavras arrogantes;todos esses malfeitores enchem-se de vanglória.
5 Massacram o teu povo, SENHOR,e oprimem a tua herança;
6 matam as viúvas e os estrangeiros,assassinam os órfãos
7 e ainda dizem: “O SENHOR não nos vê;o Deus de Jacó nada percebe”.
8 Insensatos, procurem entender!E vocês, tolos, quando se tornarão sábios?
9 Será que quem fez o ouvido não ouve?Será que quem formou o olho não vê?
10 Aquele que disciplina as naçõesos deixará sem castigo?Não tem sabedoria aqueleque dá ao homem o conhecimento?
11 O SENHOR conhece os pensamentos do homem,e sabe como são fúteis.
12 Como é feliz o homem a quem disciplinas, Senhor,aquele a quem ensinas a tua lei;

Salmos 94:2-12 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 94

Some, as Jarchi and others, think this psalm was written by Moses; others, with greater probability, assign it to David; as do the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, and all the Oriental versions; and which all but the Syriac version say it was composed to be sung on the fourth day of the week, on which day the Talmudists say it was sung; see the argument of the preceding psalm. This psalm and others, that go before and follow, are without any title in the Hebrew Bible: the title of it in the Syriac version is,

``a Psalm of David, concerning the company of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram; but spiritually, concerning the persecution against the church;''

not of the oppression of the Israelites in Egypt, as some; nor of the Jews in their present exile, as Kimchi; but rather of the people of God under the tyranny of antichrist; who are represented as complaining of his insults and cruelty, and as comforting themselves in the hopes of deliverance, and in the view of his destruction.
