PSALM 94
1O LORD
Goda,
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.
12Blessed 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 followb
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 almostc
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.
