Psalms 94 : 1 - 23
Chapter 94
1 | O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongs--O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!
|
2 | Rise up, O Judge of the earth; Render punishment to the proud.
|
3 | LORD, how long will the wicked, How long will the wicked triumph?
|
4 | They utter speech, and speak insolent things; All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.
|
5 | They break in pieces Your people, O LORD, And afflict Your heritage.
|
6 | They slay the widow and the stranger, And murder the fatherless.
|
7 | Yet they say, "The LORD does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob understand."
|
8 | Understand, you senseless among the people; And you fools, when will you be wise?
|
9 | He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
|
10 | He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge?
|
11 | The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are futile.
|
12 | Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O LORD, And teach out of Your law,
|
13 | That You may give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked.
|
14 | For the LORD will not cast off His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
|
15 | But judgment will return to righteousness, And all the upright in heart will follow it.
|
16 | Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
|
17 | Unless the LORD had been my help, My soul would soon have settled in silence.
|
18 | If I say, "My foot slips," Your mercy, O LORD, will hold me up.
|
19 | In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.
|
20 | Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, Have fellowship with You?
|
21 | They gather together against the life of the righteous, And condemn innocent blood.
|
22 | But the LORD has been my defense, And my God the rock of my refuge.
|
23 | He has brought on them their own iniquity, And shall cut them off in their own wickedness; The LORD our God shall cut them off.
