Psalms Chapter 94
1 | O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. | 2 | Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. | 3 | LORD, 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? | 5 | They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. | 6 | They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. | 7 | Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. | 8 | Understand, 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 heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? | 11 | The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. | 12 | Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him 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 the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. | 15 | But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. | 16 | Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? | 17 | Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. | 18 | When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. | 19 | In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. | 20 | Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? | 21 | They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. | 22 | But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. | 23 | And 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. |
