Psalm
Psalm 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.
