94:5  Lord, they crush your people and make your children suffer.
94:6  They kill widows and foreigners and murder orphans.
94:7  They say, “The Lord doesn’t see; the God of Jacob doesn’t notice.”
94:8  You stupid ones among the people, pay attention. You fools, when will you understand?

94:10  Won’t the one who corrects nations punish you? Doesn’t the teacher of people know everything?

94:12  Lord, those you correct are happy; you teach them from your law.
94:13  You give them rest from times of trouble until a pit is dug for the wicked.

94:21  They join forces against people who do right and sentence to death the innocent.
94:22  But the Lord is my defender; my God is the rock of my protection.
94:23  God will pay them back for their sins and will destroy them for their evil. The Lord our God will destroy them.
