Psalms 94

DBY

NIV

1 O God of vengeances, Jehovah, ·God of vengeances, shine forth;
1 The LORD is a God who avenges. O God who avenges, shine forth.
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud.
2 Rise up, Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.
3 How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph?
3 How long, LORD, will the wicked, how long will the wicked be jubilant?
4 [How long] shall they utter [and] speak insolence -- all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
4 They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers are full of boasting.
5 They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance;
5 They crush your people, LORD; they oppress your inheritance.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless,
6 They slay the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.
7 And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard [it].
7 They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob takes no notice.”
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
8 Take notice, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
9 Does he who fashioned the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?
10 He that instructeth the nations, shall not he correct -- he that teacheth man knowledge?
10 Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?
11 Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
11 The LORD knows all human plans; he knows that they are futile.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law;
12 Blessed is the one you discipline, LORD, the one you teach from your law;
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
13 you grant them relief from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For Jehovah will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
14 For the LORD will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance.
15 For judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?
17 If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
17 Unless the LORD had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.
18 When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, LORD, supported me.
19 In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul.
19 When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.
20 Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law?
20 Can a corrupt throne be allied with you— a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?
21 They band together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
21 The wicked band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
22 But Jehovah will be my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge.
22 But the LORD has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
23 And he will bring upon them their iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil: Jehovah our God will cut them off.
23 He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the LORD our God will destroy them.
