Psalms 94:1-11

1The Lord is a God who avenges. O God who avenges, shine forth.

2Rise up, Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.

3How long, Lord, will the wicked, how long will the wicked be jubilant?

4They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers are full of boasting.

5They crush your people, Lord; they oppress your inheritance.

6They slay the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.

7They say, “The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob takes no notice.”

8Take notice, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?

9Does he who fashioned the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?

10Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?

11The Lord knows all human plans; he knows that they are futile.
