Psalms 94 ⓘ

94:1 LORD, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.

94:2 Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.

94:3 LORD, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?

94:4 They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.

94:5 They break your people in pieces, LORD, and afflict your heritage.

94:6 They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.

94:7 They say, “The LORD will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.”

94:8 Consider, you senseless amongst the people; you fools, when will you be wise?

94:9 He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear? He who formed the eye, won’t he see?

94:10 He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows.

94:11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.

94:12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, LORD, and teach out of your law,

94:13 that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.

94:14 For the LORD won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

94:15 For judgement will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.

94:16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?

94:17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.

94:18 When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your loving kindness, LORD, held me up.

94:19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.

94:20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?

94:21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

94:22 But the LORD has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.

94:23 He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. The LORD, our God, will cut them off.
