Psalms 94:4-23
4They pourH5042 forthH5042 words, they 1speakH1696 arrogantlyH6277; AllH3605 who doH6466 wickednessH205 2vauntH559 themselves.5They 3crushH1792 Your peopleH5971, O LordH3068, And 4afflictH6031 Your heritageH5159.6They 5slayH2026 the widowH490 and the 6strangerH1616 And murderH7523 the orphansH3490.77They have saidH559, “8The LordH3050 does not seeH7200, NorH3808 does the GodH430 of JacobH3290 payH995 heedH995.”
8PayH995 heedH995, you 9senselessH1197 among the peopleH5971; And whenH4970 will you understandH7919, 10stupidH3684 onesH3684?9He who 11plantedH5193 the earH241, 12does He not hearH8085? He who formedH3335 the eyeH5869, 13does He not seeH5027?10He who 1415chastensH3256 the nationsH1471, will He not rebukeH3198, Even He who 16teachesH3925 manH120 knowledgeH1847?11The LordH3068 17knowsH3045 the thoughtsH4284 of manH120, 18That they are a mere breathH1892.
12BlessedH835 is the manH1397 whomH834 19You chastenH3256, O 20LordH3050, And 21whom You teachH3925 out of Your lawH8451;13That You may grantH8252 him 22reliefH8252 from the 23daysH3117 of adversityH7451, UntilH5704 24a pitH7845 is dugH3738 for the wickedH7563.14For 25the LordH3068 will not abandonH5203 His peopleH5971, NorH3808 will He 26forsakeH5800 His inheritanceH5159.15For 2728judgmentH4941 29will againH7725 be righteousH6664, And allH3605 the uprightH3477 in heartH3820 30will followH310 it.16WhoH4310 will 31standH6965 up for me againstH5973 evildoersH7489? WhoH4310 will takeH3320 his standH3320 for me 32againstH5973 those who doH6466 wickednessH205?
17IfH3884 33the LordH3068 had not beenH1961 my helpH5833, My soulH5315 would soonH4592 have dweltH7931 in the abode of silenceH1745.18IfH518 I should sayH559, “34My footH7272 has slippedH4131,” Your lovingkindnessH2617, O LordH3068, will holdH5582 me up.19When my anxiousH8312 thoughtsH8312 35multiplyH7230 withinH7130 me, Your 36consolationsH8575 delightH8173 my soulH5315.20Can a 3738throneH3678 of destructionH1942 be alliedH2266 with You, One 39which devisesH3335 40mischiefH5999 by decreeH2706?21They 41bandH1481 themselves togetherH1413 againstH5921 the 42lifeH5315 of the righteousH6662 And 43condemnH7561 44the innocentH5355 to deathH1818.22But the LordH3068 has beenH1961 my 45strongholdH4869, And my GodH430 the 46rockH6697 of my refugeH4268.23He has 47broughtH7725 backH7725 their wickednessH205 upon them And will 4849destroyH6789 them in their evilH7451; The LordH3068 our GodH430 will 50destroyH6789 them.
