Psalms 94

The Lord Implored to Avenge His People.

1LordH3068, GodH410 of 12vengeanceH5360, GodH410 of 3vengeanceH5360, 45shineH3313 forthH3313!26RiseH5375 upH5375, 7JudgeH8199 of the earthH776, PayH7725 backH7725 retributionH1576 8to the proudH1343.3HowH4970 longH5704H4970, LordH3068, shall the wickedH7563-- HowH4970 longH5704H4970 shall the 9wickedH7563 triumphH5937?4They pourH5042 outH5042 words, they 10speakH1696 arrogantlyH6277; AllH3605 who doH6466 injusticeH205 11boastH559.5They 12crushH1792 Your peopleH5971, LordH3068, And 13afflictH6031 Your inheritanceH5159.6They 14killH2026 the widowH490 and the strangerH1616 And murderH7523 the orphansH3490.715They have saidH559, “16The LordH3050 does not seeH7200, NorH3808 does the GodH430 of JacobH3290 perceiveH995.”

8PayH995 attentionH995, you 17stupidH1197 ones among the peopleH5971; And whenH4970 will you understandH7919, 18foolishH3684 onesH3684?9He who 19plantedH5193 the earH241, 20does He not hearH8085? OrH518 He who formedH3335 the eyeH5869, 21does He not seeH5027?10He who 2223disciplinesH3256 the nationsH1471, will He not rebukeH3198, He who 24teachesH3925 mankindH120 knowledgeH1847?11The LordH3068 25knowsH3045 humanH120 thoughtsH4284, 26That they are mere breathH1892.

12BlessedH835 is the manH1397 whomH834 27You disciplineH3256, 28LordH3050, And 29whom You teachH3925 from Your LawH8451,13So that You may grantH8252 him 30reliefH8252 from the 31daysH3117 of adversityH7451, UntilH5704 32a pitH7845 is dugH3738 for the wickedH7563.14For 33the LordH3068 will not abandonH5203 His peopleH5971, NorH3808 will He 34abandonH5800 His inheritanceH5159.15For 3536judgmentH4941 37will againH7725 be righteousH6664, And allH3605 the uprightH3477 in heartH3820 38will followH310 it.16WhoH4310 will 39standH6965 upH6965 for me againstH5973 evildoersH7489? WhoH4310 will takeH3320 his standH3320 for me 40againstH5973 those who doH6466 injusticeH205?

17IfH3884 41the LordH3068 had not beenH1961 my helpH5833, My soulH5315 would soonH4592 have dweltH7931 in the land of silenceH1745.18IfH518 I should sayH559, “42My footH7272 has slippedH4131,” Your faithfulnessH2617, LordH3068, will supportH5582 me.19When my anxiousH8312 thoughtsH8312 43multiplyH7230 withinH7130 me, Your 44comfortH8575 delightsH8173 my soulH5315.20Can a 4546throneH3678 of destructionH1942 be alliedH2266 with You, One 47which devisesH3335 48mischiefH5999 by decreeH2706?21They 49bandH1413 themselves togetherH1413 againstH5921 the 50lifeH5315 of the righteousH6662 And 51condemnH7561 52the innocentH5355 to deathH1818.22But the LordH3068 has beenH1961 my 53refugeH4869, And my GodH430 the 54rockH6697 of my refugeH4268.23He has 55broughtH7725 backH7725 their injusticeH205 upon them, And He will 5657destroyH6789 them in their evilH7451; The LordH3068 our GodH430 will 58destroyH6789 them.
