94 God of vengeance -- Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.

² Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.

³ Till when [do] the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?

⁴ They utter -- they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.

⁵ Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.

⁶ Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.

⁷ And they say, `Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.'

⁸ Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?

⁹ He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?

¹⁰ He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] Jehovah.

¹¹ He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.

¹² O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,

¹³ To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.

¹⁴ For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.

¹⁵ For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart,

¹⁶ Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity?

¹⁷ Unless Jehovah [were] a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.

¹⁸ If I have said, `My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.

¹⁹ In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.

²⁰ Is a throne of mischief joined [with] Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?

²¹ They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.

²² And Jehovah is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for a rock -- my refuge,

²³ And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off!

95 Come, we sing to Jehovah, We shout to the rock of our salvation.

² We come before His face with thanksgiving, With psalms we shout to Him.

³ For a great God [is] Jehovah, And a great king over all gods.

⁴ In whose hand [are] the deep places of earth, And the strong places of hills [are] His.

⁵ Whose is the sea, and He made it, And His hands formed the dry land.

⁶ Come in, we bow ourselves, and we bend, We kneel before Jehovah our Maker.

⁷ For He [is] our God, and we the people of His pasture, And the flock of His hand, To-day, if to His voice ye hearken,

⁸ Harden not your heart as [in] Meribah, As [in] the day of Massah in the wilderness,

⁹ Where your fathers have tried Me, Have proved Me, yea, have seen My work.

¹⁰ Forty years I am weary of the generation, And I say, `A people erring in heart -- they! And they have not known My ways:'

¹¹ Where I sware in Mine anger, `If they come in unto My rest -- !'

96 Sing to Jehovah a new song, Sing to Jehovah all the earth.

² Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day His salvation.

³ Declare among nations His honour, Among all the peoples His wonders.

⁴ For great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, Fearful He [is] over all gods.

⁵ For all the gods of the peoples [are] nought, And Jehovah made the heavens.

⁶ Honour and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.

⁷ Ascribe to Jehovah, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.

⁸ Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present and come in to His courts.

⁹ Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the honour of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.

¹⁰ Say among nations, `Jehovah hath reigned, Also -- established is the world, unmoved, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.'

¹¹ The heavens joy, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fulness roar.

¹² The field exulteth, and all that [is] in it, Then sing do all trees of the forest,

¹³ Before Jehovah, for He hath come, For He hath come to judge the earth. He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!
