Psalms - Chapter 94 | American Standard Version

  • 1. O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
  • 2. Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: Render to the proud {cf15i their} desert.
  • 3. Jehovah, how long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph?
  • 4. They prate, they speak arrogantly: All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.
  • 5. They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah, And afflict thy heritage.
  • 6. They slay the widow and the sojourner, And murder the fatherless.
  • 7. And they say, Jehovah will not see, Neither will the God of Jacob consider.
  • 8. Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye be wise?
  • 9. He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
  • 10. He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct, {cf15i Even} he that teacheth man knowledge?
  • 11. Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, That they are vanity.
  • 12. Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah, And teachest out of thy law;
  • 13. That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit be digged for the wicked.
  • 14. For Jehovah will not cast off his people, Neither will he forsake his inheritance.
  • 15. For judgment shall return unto righteousness; And all the upright in heart shall follow it.
  • 16. Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
  • 17. Unless Jehovah had been my help, My soul had soon dwelt in silence.
  • 18. When I said, My foot slippeth; Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
  • 19. In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul.
  • 20. Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee, Which frameth mischief by statute?
  • 21. They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, And condemn the innocent blood.
  • 22. But Jehovah hath been my high tower, And my God the rock of my refuge.
  • 23. And he hath brought upon them their own iniquity, And will cut them off in their own wickedness; Jehovah our God will cut them off.
