Chapter 94
1אֵל־נְקָמוֹת יְהֹוָה אֵל נְקָמוֹת הוֹפִֽיעַGod of retribution, ETERNAL One, God of retribution, appear!El-nekamot Adonai el nekamot hofia
2הִנָּשֵׂא שֹׁפֵט הָאָרֶץ הָשֵׁב גְּמוּל עַל־גֵּאִֽיםRise up, judge of the earth, give the arrogant their deserts!Hinase shofet haaretz hashev gemul al-geim
3עַד־מָתַי רְשָׁעִים יְהֹוָה עַד־מָתַי רְשָׁעִים יַעֲלֹֽזוּHow long shall the wicked, O ETERNAL One, how long shall the wicked exult,Ad-matay reshaim Adonai ad-matay reshaim yaalozu
4יַבִּיעוּ יְדַבְּרוּ עָתָק יִתְאַמְּרוּ כׇּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶןshall they utter insolent speech, shall all evildoers vaunt themselves?Yabiu yedabru atak yitamru kol-poaley aven
5עַמְּךָ יְהֹוָה יְדַכְּאוּ וְֽנַחֲלָתְךָ יְעַנּֽוּThey crush Your people, O ETERNAL One, they afflict Your very own;Amcha Adonai yedaku venachalatcha yeanu
6אַלְמָנָה וְגֵר יַהֲרֹגוּ וִיתוֹמִים יְרַצֵּֽחוּthey kill the widow and the stranger; they murder the fatherless,Almanah veger yaharogu vitomim yeratzechu
7וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹא יִרְאֶה־יָּהּ וְלֹא־יָבִין אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹֽבthinking, “Yah does not see it, the God of Jacob does not pay heed.”Vayomru lo yireh-yah velo-yavin elohey yaakov
8בִּינוּ בֹּעֲרִים בָּעָם וּכְסִילִים מָתַי תַּשְׂכִּֽילוּTake heed, you most brutish people; fools, when will you get wisdom?Binu boarim baam uchsilim matay taskilu
9הֲנֹטַֽע אֹזֶן הֲלֹא יִשְׁמָע אִֽם־יֹצֵֽר עַיִן הֲלֹא יַבִּֽיטShall the One who implants the ear not hear, the One who forms the eye not see?Hanota ozen halo yishma im-yotzer ayin halo yabit
10הֲיֹסֵר גּוֹיִם הֲלֹא יוֹכִיחַ הַֽמְלַמֵּד אָדָם דָּֽעַתShall the One who disciplines nations not punish, the One who instructs humankind in knowledge?Hayoser goyim halo yochicha hamlamed adam daat
11יְֽהֹוָה יֹדֵעַ מַחְשְׁבוֹת אָדָם כִּי־הֵמָּה הָֽבֶלGOD knows human designs to be futile.Yehovah yodea machshvot adam ki-hemah havel
12אַשְׁרֵי הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר־תְּיַסְּרֶנּוּ יָּהּ וּֽמִתּוֹרָתְךָ תְלַמְּדֶֽנּוּHappy are those whom You discipline, O Yah, whom You instruct in Your teaching,Ashrey hagever asher-teyasrenu yah umitoratcha telamdenu
13לְהַשְׁקִיט לוֹ מִימֵי רָע עַד יִכָּרֶה לָרָשָׁע שָֽׁחַתwhom You give tranquility in times of misfortune, until a pit be dug for the wicked.Lehashkit lo mimey ra ad yikareh larasha shachat
14כִּי לֹא־יִטֹּשׁ יְהֹוָה עַמּוֹ וְנַחֲלָתוֹ לֹא יַעֲזֹֽבFor GOD will not forsake this people; God’s very own will not be abandoned.Ki lo-yitosh Adonai amo venachalato lo yaazov
15כִּֽי־עַד־צֶדֶק יָשׁוּב מִשְׁפָּט וְאַחֲרָיו כׇּל־יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽבJudgment shall again accord with justice and all the upright shall rally to it.Ki-ad-tzedek yashuv mishpat veacharayv kol-yishrey-lev
16מִֽי־יָקוּם לִי עִם־מְרֵעִים מִי־יִתְיַצֵּב לִי עִם־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶןWho will take my part against evildoers? Who will stand up for me against wrongdoers?Mi-yakum li im-mereim mi-yityatzev li im-poaley aven
17לוּלֵי יְהֹוָה עֶזְרָתָה לִּי כִּמְעַט שָׁכְנָה דוּמָה נַפְשִֽׁיWere not GOD my help, I should soon dwell in silence.Luley Adonai ezratah li kimat shachnah dumah nafshi
18אִם־אָמַרְתִּי מָטָה רַגְלִי חַסְדְּךָ יְהֹוָה יִסְעָדֵֽנִיWhen I think my foot has given way, Your faithfulness, O ETERNAL One, supports me.Im-amarti matah ragli chasdcha Adonai yisadeni
19בְּרֹב שַׂרְעַפַּי בְּקִרְבִּי תַּנְחוּמֶיךָ יְֽשַׁעַשְׁעוּ נַפְשִֽׁיWhen I am filled with cares, Your assurance soothes my soul.Berov sarapay bekirbi tanchumeycha yeshaashu nafshi
20הַֽיְחׇבְרְךָ כִּסֵּא הַוּוֹת יֹצֵר עָמָל עֲלֵי־חֹֽקShall the seat of injustice be Your partner, that frames mischief by statute?Haychovrcha kise hauot yotzer amal aley-chok
21יָגוֹדּוּ עַל־נֶפֶשׁ צַדִּיק וְדָם נָקִי יַרְשִֽׁיעוּThey band together to do away with the righteous; they condemn the innocent to death.Yagodu al-nefesh tzadik vedam naki yarshiu
22וַיְהִי יְהֹוָה לִי לְמִשְׂגָּב וֵאלֹהַי לְצוּר מַחְסִֽיBut GOD is my haven; my God is my sheltering rock.Vayhi Adonai li lemisgav velohay letzur machsi
23וַיָּשֶׁב עֲלֵיהֶם אֶת־אוֹנָם וּבְרָעָתָם יַצְמִיתֵם יַצְמִיתֵם יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּTheir evil will be made to recoil upon them, through their own wickedness they will be annihilated; the ETERNAL our God will annihilate them.Vayashev aleyhem et-onam uvraatam yatzmitem yatzmitem Adonai eloheynu
