Psalms

94:1		O God, in whose hands is punishment, O God of punishment, let your shining face be seen.
94:2		Be lifted up, O judge of the earth; let their reward come to the men of pride.
94:3		How long will sinners, O Lord, how long will sinners have joy over us?
94:4		Words of pride come from their lips; all the workers of evil say great things of themselves.
94:5		Your people are crushed by them, O Lord, your heritage is troubled,
94:6		They put to death the widow and the guest, they take the lives of children who have no father;
94:7		And they say, Jah will not see it, the God of Jacob will not give thought to it.
94:8		Give your mind to my words, you who are without wisdom among the people; you foolish men, when will you be wise?
94:9		Has he by whom your ears were planted no hearing? or is he blind by whom your eyes were formed?
94:10		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?
94:11		The Lord has knowledge of the thoughts of man, for they are only a breath.
94:12		Happy is the man who is guided by you, O Jah, and to whom you give teaching out of your law;
94:13		So that you may give him rest from the days of evil, till a hole is made ready for the destruction of the sinners.
94:14		The Lord will not give up his people, or take away his support from his heritage;
94:15		But decisions will again be made in righteousness; and they will be kept by all whose hearts are true.
94:16		Who will give me help against the sinners? and who will be my support against the workers of evil?
94:17		If the Lord had not been my helper, my soul would quickly have gone down into death.
94:18		If I say, My foot is slipping; your mercy, O Lord, is my support.
94:19		Among all my troubled thoughts, your comforts are the delight of my soul.
94:20		What part with you has the seat of sin, which makes evil into a law?
94:21		They are banded together against the soul of the upright, to give decisions against those who have done no wrong.
94:22		But the Lord is my safe resting-place; my God is the Rock where I am safe.
94:23		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.
