Psalm 94

Revised Version 1895

1O LORDH3068, thou GodH410 to whom vengeanceH5360 belongeth, thou GodH410 to whom vengeanceH5360 belongeth, shineH3313 forthH3313.

2LiftH5375 upH5375 thyself, thou judgeH8199 of the earthH776: renderH7725 to the proudH1343 their desert.

3LORDH3068, howH4970 longH5704 shall the wickedH7563, howH4970 longH5704 shall the wickedH7563 triumph?

4They prate, they speakH1696 arrogantlyH6277: allH3605 the workersH6466 of iniquityH205 boastH205 themselvesH205.

5They break in pieces thy peopleH5971, O LORDH3068, and afflictH6031 thine heritageH5159.

6They slayH2026 the widowH490 and the strangerH1616, and murderH7523 the fatherlessH3490.

7And they sayH559, The LORDH3050 shall notH3808 seeH7200, neitherH3808 shall the GodH430 of JacobH3290 considerH7200.

8ConsiderH995, ye brutish among the peopleH5971: and ye foolsH3684, when will ye be wiseH7919?

9He that plantedH5193 the earH241, shall he notH3808 hearH8085? he that formedH3335 the eyeH5869, shall he notH3808 seeH5869?

10He that chastiseth the nationsH1471, shall notH3808 he correctH3256, evenH3808 he that teacheth manH120 knowledgeH1847?

11The LORDH3068 knoweth the thoughtsH4284 of manH120, that they are vanityH1892.

12BlessedH835 is the manH1397 whomH834 thou chastenest, O LORDH3050, and teachest out of thy lawH8451;

13That thou mayest give him restH8252 from the daysH3117 of adversity, untilH5704 the pitH7845 be digged for the wickedH7563.

14For the LORDH3068 will notH3808 castH5203 off his peopleH5971, neitherH3808 will he forsakeH5203 his inheritanceH5159.

15For judgmentH4941 shall returnH7725 unto righteousnessH6664: and allH3605 the uprightH3477 in heartH3820 shall followH310 it.

16Who will riseH6965 upH6965 for meH5973 againstH5973 the evil-doers? who will standH6965 upH6965 for meH5973 againstH5973 the workersH6466 of iniquityH205?

17Unless the LORDH3068 had been my helpH5833, my soulH5315 had soonH4592 dweltH7931 in silenceH1745.

18When I saidH559, My footH7272 slippeth; thy mercyH3068, O LORDH3068, held meH5582 up.

19In the multitudeH7230 of my thoughtsH8312 withinH7130 meH5315 thy comforts delight my soulH5315.

20Shall the throneH3678 of wickednessH5999 have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischiefH5999 by statuteH2706?

21They gather themselvesH5315 togetherH5921 againstH5921 the soulH5315 of the righteousH6662, and condemnH7561 the innocentH5355 bloodH1818.

22But the LORDH3068 hath been my high tower; and my GodH430 the rockH6697 of my refugeH4268.

23And he hath broughtH7725 uponH5921 them their own iniquityH205, and shall cutH6789 them offH5921 in their own evilH7451; the LORDH3068 our GodH430 shall cutH6789 them offH5921.
