94:1  O Eternal God of vengeance, O God who sets things right, shine upon us.
94:2  Rise, O Judge who presides over the earth, and pronounce Your sentence upon the proud. Give them what they deserve!
94:3  How long, O Eternal One, how long will the guilty revel in their prosperity?
94:4  Arrogance pours from their mouths; all these troublemakers brag of their exploits.
94:5  They have broken Your people to pieces, O Eternal One, and brought ruin to Your future generations.
94:6  They slay a widow, kill a newcomer, and murder an orphan.
94:7  Then they say, “The Eternal can’t see what we’re up to; the God of Jacob’s people pays no attention to us.”
94:8  Think, brainless people; stupid people, when will you get it?
94:9  Does the God who set the ear in its place not hear? Does the God who made the eye not see?
94:10  Does the God who teaches the nations and guides humanity to knowledge, not exercise just correction?
94:11  The Eternal knows the highest thoughts of the wise, and they are worthless.
94:12  How fortunate are those You discipline, O Eternal One, those You train by Your divine law;
94:13  You relieve them in times of distress, until a grave is dug for evildoers.
94:14  The Eternal will not abandon His people; He will not turn away from those He redeemed
94:15  Because justice is coming for those who do what is right and all the good-hearted will pursue it.
94:16  Who will back me up when evildoers come against me? Who is willing to take my side against the wicked?
94:17  If the Eternal had not come to my rescue, my soul would have descended to the land where death silences every voice.
94:18  When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your unfailing love, O Eternal One, held me up.
94:19  When anxiety overtakes me and worries are many, Your comfort lightens my soul.
94:20  Can wicked tyrants be Your allies? Will You align with rulers who create havoc with unjust decrees?
94:21  They have joined forces against the life of the just-living, the right-seeking, and have sentenced the innocent to death.
94:22  But the Eternal has been my citadel; my God, a sure safe haven.
94:23  He will fold their wickedness back upon them, and because they are malicious, He will silence them. The Eternal, our True God, will scatter them.
