See Hebrew/Greek in BSB →

94Verse 1Hashem G-d, to whom vengeance belongeth;
O G-d, to whom vengeance belongeth, show Thyself.
Verse 2Rise up, Thou Shofet HaAretz;
render gemul (recompense, desert) to the ge'im (proud ones).
Verse 3Ad mosai, Hashem, shall the resha'im,
how long shall the resha'im triumph?
Verse 4How long shall they utter and speak malicious lies?
And all the po'alei aven (workers of iniquity) glorify themselves?
Verse 5They crush Thy people, Hashem,
and afflict Thine nachalah.
Verse 6They slay the almanah and the ger,
and murder the yetomim (fatherless, orphans).
Verse 7Yet they say, Hashem shall not see,
neither shall the Elohei Ya'akov regard it.
Verse 8Understand, ye brutish among the people;
and ye kesilim (fools), when will ye get seichel?
Verse 9He that planted the ozen (ear), shall He not hear?
He that formed the ayin (eye), shall He not see?
Verse 10He that chastiseth the Goyim, shall not He reprove?
He that is the melamed (teacher) of da'as to adam?
Verse 11Hashem knoweth the machshevot (thoughts) of adam,
that they are hevel (vanity, futile).
Verse 12Ashrei (blessed) is the gever whom Thou chastenest, Hashem,
and teachest him out of Thy torah;
Verse 13That Thou mayest grant him relief from the days of rah,
until a shachat (pit) is dug for the rasha.
Verse 14For Hashem will not cast off His people,
neither will He forsake His nachalah.
Verse 15But mishpat shall revert unto tzedek;
and all the yishrei lev (upright in heart) shall follow after it.
Verse 16Who will rise up for Me against the evildoers?
Or who will take a stand for Me against the po'alei aven (workers of iniquity)?
Verse 17Unless Hashem had been my help,
my nefesh had almost dwelt in dumah (silence).
Verse 18When I said, My regel (foot) slippeth,
Thy chesed, Hashem, held me up.
Verse 19In the multitude of my anxieties within me
Thy comforts delight my nefesh.
Verse 20Shall the kisse of corruption have chavurah (fellowship) with Thee,
those, which deviseth evil by a chok (statute)?
Verse 21They band together against the nefesh of the tzaddik,
and condemn dahm naki (innocent blood).
Verse 22But Hashem is my stronghold;
and Elohai is the Tzur of my refuge.
Verse 23And He shall turn back upon them their own iniquity,
and shall destroy them for their own wickedness;
Hashem Eloheinu shall destroy them.
