Psalms 94 — ULB
94Verse 1Yahweh, God who avenges,
God who avenges, shine over us.
Verse 2Rise up, judge of the earth,
give to the proud what they deserve.
Verse 3How long will the wicked, Yahweh,
how long will the wicked rejoice?
Verse 4They pour out their arrogant words;
all those who do evil boast.
Verse 5They crush your people, Yahweh;
they afflict the nation that belongs to you.
Verse 6They kill the widow and foreigner who lives in their country,
and they murder the fatherless.
Verse 7They say, “Yahweh will not see,
the God of Jacob does not take notice of it.”
Verse 8Understand, you stupid people!
You fools, when will you ever learn?
Verse 9He who made the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?
Verse 10He who disciplines the nations, does he not correct?
He is the one who gives knowledge to man.
Verse 11Yahweh knows the thoughts of men,
that they are vapor.
Verse 12Blessed is the one whom you instruct, Yahweh,
the one whom you teach from your law.
Verse 13You give him rest in times of trouble
until a pit is dug for the wicked.
Verse 14For Yahweh will not forsake his people
or abandon his inheritance.
Verse 15For judgment will again be righteous;
and all the upright in heart will follow it.
Verse 16Who will rise up to defend me against the evildoers?
Who will stand up for me against the wicked?
Verse 17Unless Yahweh had been my help,
I would soon be lying down in the place of silence.
Verse 18When I said, “My foot is slipping,”
Your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, held me up.
Verse 19When cares within me are many, your consolations make me happy.
Verse 20Can a throne of destruction be allied with you,
one who creates injustice by statute?
Verse 21They conspire together to take the life of the righteous
and they condemn the innocent to death.
Verse 22But Yahweh has been my high tower,
and my God has been the rock of my refuge.
Verse 23He will bring on them their own iniquity
and will cut them off in their own wickedness.
Yahweh our God will cut them off.
God who avenges, shine over us.
Verse 2Rise up, judge of the earth,
give to the proud what they deserve.

how long will the wicked rejoice?
