Psalm 94

94:1

¶ O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.

94:2

Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.

94:3

LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?

94:4

How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

94:5

They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.

94:6

They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.

94:7

Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.

94:8

Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?

94:9

He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

94:10

He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?

94:11

The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

94:12

Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

94:13

That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

94:14

For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

94:15

But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

94:16

Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

94:17

Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

94:18

When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.

94:19

In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.

94:20

Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

94:21

They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

94:22

But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.

94:23

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.
