Salmos 94:1-10

1 SEÑOR, Dios de las venganzas, Dios de las venganzas, muéstrate

2 Ensálzate, oh Juez de la tierra; da el pago a los soberbios

3 ¿Hasta cuándo los impíos, oh SEÑOR, hasta cuándo, se gozarán los impíos

4 ¿Pronunciarán, hablarán cosas duras, y se vanagloriarán todos los que obran iniquidad

5 A tu pueblo, oh SEÑOR, quebrantan, y a tu heredad afligen

6 A la viuda y al extranjero asesinan, y a los huérfanos quitan la vida

7 Y dijeron: No verá JAH; y No lo tendrá en cuenta el Dios de Jacob

8 Entended, necios del pueblo; y locos, ¿cuándo seréis sabios

9 El que plantó el oído, ¿no oirá? El que formó el ojo, ¿no verá

10 El que castiga a los gentiles, ¿no reprenderá? ¿No sabrá el que enseña al hombre la ciencia

Salmos 94:1-10 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.
