Psalms 94

Psalms 94

1LORD , you God to whom vengeance belongs,[#94:1 or GOD in all caps is from the Hebrew יהוה Yahweh except when otherwise noted as being from the short form יה Yah.]

you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.

2Rise up , you judge of the earth.

Pay back the proud what they deserve.

3LORD , how long will the wicked ,

how long will the wicked triumph ?

4They pour out arrogant words.

All the evildoers boast .

5They break your people in pieces , LORD ,

and afflict your heritage .

6They kill the widow and the alien ,

and murder the fatherless .

7They say, “The LORD will not see ,[#94:7 Hebrew: יה Yah]

neither will Jacob ’s God consider .”

8Consider , you senseless amongst the people ;

you fools , when will you be wise ?

9He who implanted the ear , won’t he hear ?

He who formed the eye , won’t he see ?

10He who disciplines the nations , won’t he punish ?

He who teaches man knows.

11The LORD knows the thoughts of man ,

that they are futile .

12Blessed is the man whom you discipline , LORD ,[#94:12 Hebrew: יה Yah]

and teach out of your law ,

13that you may give him rest from the days of adversity ,

until the pit is dug for the wicked .

14For the LORD won’t reject his people ,

neither will he forsake his inheritance .

15For judgement will return to righteousness .

All the upright in heart shall follow it .

16Who will rise up for me against the wicked ?

Who will stand up for me against the evildoers ?

17Unless the LORD had been my help ,

my soul would have soon lived in silence .

18When I said, “My foot is slipping!”

Your loving kindness , LORD , held me up .

19In the multitude of my thoughts within me ,

your comforts delight my soul .

20Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you ,

which brings about mischief by statute ?

21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous ,

and condemn the innocent blood .

22But the LORD has been my high tower ,

my God , the rock of my refuge .

23He has brought on them their own iniquity,

and will cut them off in their own wickedness .

The LORD , our God , will cut them off .
