←Prev   Psalms 94 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


94:1  Lord, you are a God who punishes; reveal your anger!
94:2  You are the judge of us all; rise and give the proud what they deserve!
94:3  How much longer will the wicked be glad? How much longer, Lord?
94:4  How much longer will criminals be proud and boast about their crimes?
94:5  They crush your people, Lord; they oppress those who belong to you.
94:6  They kill widows and orphans, and murder the strangers who live in our land.
94:7  They say, “The Lord does not see us; the God of Israel does not notice.”
94:8  My people, how can you be such stupid fools? When will you ever learn?
94:9  God made our ears—can't he hear? He made our eyes—can't he see?
94:10  He scolds the nations—won't he punish them? He is the teacher of us all—hasn't he any knowledge?
94:11  The Lord knows what we think; he knows how senseless our reasoning is.
94:12  Lord, how happy are those you instruct, the ones to whom you teach your law!
94:13  You give them rest from days of trouble until a pit is dug to trap the wicked.
94:14  The Lord will not abandon his people; he will not desert those who belong to him.
94:15  Justice will again be found in the courts, and all righteous people will support it.
94:16  Who stood up for me against the wicked? Who took my side against the evildoers?
94:17  If the Lord had not helped me, I would have gone quickly to the land of silence.
94:18  I said, “I am falling”; but your constant love, O Lord, held me up.
94:19  Whenever I am anxious and worried, you comfort me and make me glad.
94:20  You have nothing to do with corrupt judges, who make injustice legal,
94:21  who plot against good people and sentence the innocent to death.
94:22  But the Lord defends me; my God protects me.
94:23  He will punish them for their wickedness and destroy them for their sins; the Lord our God will destroy them.
