Psalms 94

¹O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth.

²Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud.

³How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked exult?

⁴They pour out arrogant words; all workers of iniquity boast.

⁵They crush Your people, O LORD; they oppress Your heritage.

⁶They kill the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.

⁷They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.”

⁸Take notice, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you be wise?

⁹He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see?

¹⁰He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge?

¹¹The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.

¹²Blessed is the man You discipline, O LORD, and teach from Your law,

¹³to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.

¹⁴For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage.

¹⁵Surely judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.

¹⁶Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?

¹⁷Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.

¹⁸If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me.

¹⁹When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.

²⁰Can a corrupt throne be Your ally— one devising mischief by decree?

²¹They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.

²²But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge.

²³He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness. The LORD our God will destroy them.
