Psalm 94 [organ sonata/music illustration] (Psalm 94:1-2; 3,6-7; 17,19; 22-23) – Julius Reubke

Psalm 94:1-2; 3,6-7; 17,19; 22-23

(I. Grave – Larghetto)

¹ O Lord, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth!

² Rise up, O judge of the earth; repay to the proud what they deserve!

(II. Allegro con fuoco)

³ O Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?

⁶ They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless;

⁷ and they say, “The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive.”

(III. Adagio)

¹⁷ If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.

¹⁹ When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.

(IV. Allegro)

²² But the Lord has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.

²³ He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the Lord our God will wipe them out.
