Psalms 94

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