←Prev   Psalms 94 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


94:1  The Lord is a God who avenges. O God who avenges, shine forth.
94:2  Rise up, Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.
94:3  How long, Lord, will the wicked, how long will the wicked be jubilant?
94:4  They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers are full of boasting.
94:5  They crush your people, Lord; they oppress your inheritance.
94:6  They slay the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.
94:7  They say, ‘The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob takes no notice.’
94:8  Take notice, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?
94:9  Does he who fashioned the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?
94:10  Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?
94:11  The Lord knows all human plans; he knows that they are futile.
94:12  Blessed is the one you discipline, Lord, the one you teach from your law;
94:13  you grant them relief from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked.
94:14  For the Lord will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance.
94:15  Judgment will again be founded on righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
94:16  Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?
94:17  Unless the Lord had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.
94:18  When I said, ‘My foot is slipping,’ your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
94:19  When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.
94:20  Can a corrupt throne be allied with you – a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?
94:21  The wicked band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
94:22  But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
94:23  He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the Lord our God will destroy them.
