May the Psalm of the Day be a blessing to you!
Follow along as Keren recites the Psalm of the Day.
Yom Revi’i – Day 4 – Wednesday
PSALM 94
God of retribution. LORD, God of retribution, appear!
Rise up, Judge of the earth. Repay to the arrogant what they deserve.
How long shall the wicked, LORD, how long shall the wicked triumph?
They pour out insolent words. All the evildoers are full of boasting.
They crush Your people, LORD, and oppress Your inheritance.
They kill the widow and stranger. They murder the orphaned.
They say, “The LORD does not see. The God of Jacob pays no heed.”
Take heed, you most brutish people. You fools, when will you grow wise?
Will He who implants the ear not hear? Will He who formed the eye not see?
Will He who disciplines nations – He who teaches man knowledge – not punish?
The LORD knows that the thoughts of man are a mere fleeting breath.
Happy is the man who You discipline, LORD, the one You instruct in Your Torah,
giving him tranquillity in days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
For the LORD will not forsake His people, nor abandon His heritage.
Judgment shall again accord with justice, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against wrongdoers?
Had the LORD not been my help, I would soon have dwelt in death’s silence.
When I thought my foot was slipping, Your loving-kindness LORD gave me support.
When I was filled with anxiety, Your consolations soothed my soul.
Can a corrupt throne be allied with You? Can injustice be framed into law?
They join forces against the life of the righteous, and condemn the innocent to death.
But the LORD is my stronghold, my God is the Rock of my refuge.
He will bring back on them their wickedness, and destroy them for their evil deeds.
The LORD our God will destroy them.
Come let us sing for joy to the LORD, let us shout aloud to the God of our Salvation.
Let us greet Him with songs of praise.
For the LORD is the great God, the King great above all powers.

Cathee… it is actually a blend of translations… mainly one from the Hebrew by Benjamin J.Segal (A New Psalm) and the ESV.
This was perfect for me to send to my son today. This is the day when a new commander takes over the post and this message speaks to the situation. Yah is faithful!
