Psalms - Chapter 94 - A Conservative Version
- O LORD, thou God to whom vengeance belongs, thou God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth.
- Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth. Render to the proud a recompense.
- LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
- They prate, they speak arrogantly. All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.
- They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thy heritage.
- They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless.
- And they say, LORD will not see, nor will the God of Jacob consider.
- Consider, ye brutish among the people, and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
- He who planted the ear, shall he not hear? He who formed the eye, shall he not see?
- He who chastises the nations, shall he not correct, [even] he who teaches man knowledge?
- LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
- Blessed is the man whom thou chasten, O LORD, and teach out of thy law,
- that thou may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for a wicked man.
- For LORD will not cast off his people, nor will he forsake his inheritance.
- For judgment shall return to righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
- Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
- Unless LORD had been my help, my soul would have soon dwelt in silence.
- When I said, My foot slips, thy loving kindness, O LORD, held me up.
- In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
- Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee, which frames mischief by statute?
- They gather themselves together against the soul of a righteous man, and condemn innocent blood.
- But LORD has been my high tower, and my God the rock of my refuge.
- And he has brought upon them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. LORD our God will cut them off.
