Psalms 94:10-22

¹⁰He also scolds the leaders of other nations; so do you think that he will not punish you RHQ? He is the one who knows everything; so why do you think that he does not know what you do RHQ?

¹¹Yahweh knows everything that people are thinking; he knows that what they think ◄ is useless/vanishes as quickly as► smoke MET.

¹²Yahweh, you are pleased with people who want you to discipline/correct them, those who want you to teach them your laws.

¹³When those people have had troubles, you cause those troubles to cease, and some day it will be as though you will dig pits for wicked people, and they will fall into those pits and die.

¹⁴Yahweh will not abandon his people; he will not desert like that those who belong to him DOU.

¹⁵Some day judges will decide matters fairly for people, and all honest/righteous people will be pleased about that.

¹⁶But when wicked people ◄ oppressed me/treated me cruelly►, ◄who defended me?/no one defended me.► RHQ No one stood up to testify for me against those evil people RHQ.

¹⁷If Yahweh had not helped me at that time, I would have been executed, and my soul/spirit would have gone to the place where dead people say nothing.

¹⁸I said/thought to myself, “I am about to die,” but Yahweh, you held me up by faithfully loving me.

¹⁹Whenever I am very worried, you comfort/encourage me and cause me to be happy.

²⁰You have nothing to do with wicked judges, who establish laws that allow people to do what is not legal.

²¹They plan to get rid of righteous people, and they declare that ◄innocent people/people who have not done what is wrong► must be executed.

²²But Yahweh ◄has become like my fortress/protects me► MET; my God is like a huge rock under which I am protected/safe MET.
