Psalms 94

1O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. {God...: Heb. God of revenges} {shew...: Heb. shine forth}● 2Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.● 3LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?● 4{How long} shall they utter {and} speak hard things? {and} all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?● 5They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.● 6They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.● 7Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard {it}.● 8Understand, 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 heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, {shall not he know}?● 11The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they {are} vanity.● 12Blessed {is} the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;● 13That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.● 14For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.● 15But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. {shall follow...: Heb. shall be after it}● 16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? {or} who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?● 17Unless the LORD {had been} my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. {almost: or, quickly}● 18When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.● 19In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.● 20Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?● 21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.● 22But the LORD is my defence; and my God {is} the rock of my refuge.● 23And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; {yea}, the LORD our God shall cut them off.●
