Psalms - Chapter 94 - New International Version
- The LORD is a God who avenges. O God who avenges, shine forth.
- Rise up, Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.
- How long, LORD, will the wicked, how long will the wicked be jubilant?
- They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers are full of boasting.
- They crush your people, LORD; they oppress your inheritance.
- They slay the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.
- They say, "The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob takes no notice."
- Take notice, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?
- Does he who fashioned the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?
- Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?
- The LORD knows all human plans; he knows that they are futile.
- Blessed is the one you discipline, LORD, the one you teach from your law;
- you grant them relief from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked.
- For the LORD will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance.
- Judgment will again be founded on righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
- Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?
- Unless the LORD had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.
- When I said, "My foot is slipping," your unfailing love, LORD, supported me.
- When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.
- Can a corrupt throne be allied with you — a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?
- The wicked band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
- But the LORD has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
- He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the LORD our God will destroy them.
