Psalms - Chapter 94 | New International Version

  • 1. O LORD, the God who avenges, O God who avenges, shine forth.
  • 2. Rise up, O Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.
  • 3. How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked be jubilant?
  • 4. They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers are full of boasting.
  • 5. They crush your people, O LORD; they oppress your inheritance.
  • 6. They slay the widow and the alien; they murder the fatherless.
  • 7. They say, "The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed."
  • 8. Take heed, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?
  • 9. Does he who implanted the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?
  • 10. Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches man lack knowledge?
  • 11. The LORD knows the thoughts of man; he knows that they are futile.
  • 12. Blessed is the man you discipline, O LORD, the man you teach from your law;
  • 13. you grant him relief from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked.
  • 14. For the LORD will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance.
  • 15. Judgment will again be founded on righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
  • 16. Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?
  • 17. Unless the LORD had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.
  • 18. When I said, "My foot is slipping," your love, O LORD, supported me.
  • 19. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.
  • 20. Can a corrupt throne be allied with you-- one that brings on misery by its decrees?
  • 21. They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
  • 22. But the LORD has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
  • 23. He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the LORD our God will destroy them.
