Psalm 94

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 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.

12 How happy the man whom you correct, Yah, whom you teach from your Torah,

13 giving him respite from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked!

14 For ADONAI will not desert his people, he will not abandon his heritage.

15 Justice will once again become righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 Who will champion my cause against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against evildoers?

17 If ADONAI hadn't helped me, I would soon have dwelt in the land of silence.

18 When I said, "My foot is slipping!"your grace, ADONAI, supported me.

19 When my cares within me are many, your comforts cheer me up.

20 Can unjust judges be allied with you, those producing wrong in the name of law?

21 They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.

22 But ADONAI has become my stronghold, my God is my rock of refuge.

23 But he repays them as their guilt deserves; he will cut them off with their own evil; ADONAI our God will cut them off.

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 O God, in whose hands is punishment, O God of punishment, let your shining face be seen.

2 Be lifted up, O judge of the earth; let their reward come to the men of pride.

3 How long will sinners, O Lord, how long will sinners have joy over us?

4 Words of pride come from their lips; all the workers of evil say great things of themselves.

5 Your people are crushed by them, O Lord, your heritage is troubled,

6 They put to death the widow and the guest, they take the lives of children who have no father;

7 And they say, Jah will not see it, the God of Jacob will not give thought to it.

8 Give your mind to my words, you who are without wisdom among the people; you foolish men, when will you be wise?

9 Has he by whom your ears were planted no hearing? or is he blind by whom your eyes were formed?

10 He who is the judge of the nations, will he not give men the reward of their acts, even he who gives knowledge to man?

11 The Lord has knowledge of the thoughts of man, for they are only a breath.

12 Happy is the man who is guided by you, O Jah, and to whom you give teaching out of your law;

13 So that you may give him rest from the days of evil, till a hole is made ready for the destruction of the sinners.

14 The Lord will not give up his people, or take away his support from his heritage;

15 But decisions will again be made in righteousness; and they will be kept by all whose hearts are true.

16 Who will give me help against the sinners? and who will be my support against the workers of evil?

17 If the Lord had not been my helper, my soul would quickly have gone down into death.

18 If I say, My foot is slipping; your mercy, O Lord, is my support.

19 Among all my troubled thoughts, your comforts are the delight of my soul.

20 What part with you has the seat of sin, which makes evil into a law?

21 They are banded together against the soul of the upright, to give decisions against those who have done no wrong.

22 But the Lord is my safe resting-place; my God is the Rock where I am safe.

23 And he has made their evil designs come back on themselves, cutting them off in their sin; the Lord our God will put an end to them.
