Psalms 94

Psalm 94

The L ord Implored to Avenge His People.

¹Lord, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth!

²Rise up, Judge of the earth, Pay back retribution to the proud.

³How long, Lord, shall the wicked— How long shall the wicked triumph?

⁴They pour out words, they speak arrogantly; All who do injustice boast.

⁵They crush Your people, Lord, And afflict Your inheritance.

⁶They kill the widow and the stranger And murder the orphans.

⁷They have said, “The Lord does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob perceive.”

⁸¶Pay attention, you stupid ones among the people; And when will you understand, foolish ones?

⁹He who planted the ear, does He not hear? Or He who formed the eye, does He not see?

¹⁰He who disciplines the nations, will He not rebuke, He who teaches mankind knowledge?

¹¹The Lord knows human thoughts, That they are mere breath.

¹²¶Blessed is the man whom You discipline, Lord, And whom You teach from Your Law,

¹³So that You may grant him relief from the days of adversity, Until a pit is dug for the wicked.

¹⁴For the Lord will not abandon His people, Nor will He abandon His inheritance.

¹⁵For judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart will follow it.

¹⁶Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against those who do injustice?

¹⁷¶If the Lord had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in the land of silence.

¹⁸If I should say, “My foot has slipped,” Your faithfulness, Lord, will support me.

¹⁹When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your comfort delights my soul.

²⁰Can a throne of destruction be allied with You, One which devises mischief by decree?

²¹They band themselves together against the life of the righteous And condemn the innocent to death.

²²But the Lord has been my refuge, And my God the rock of my refuge.

²³He has brought back their injustice upon them, And He will destroy them in their evil; The Lord our God will destroy them.
