OEB - Psalms - 94

94:1  Lord, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth.

94:2  Rise up, judge of the earth, pay back the proud what they deserve.

94:3  Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult,

94:4  with their blustering arrogant words, their braggart and wicked speech,

94:5  crushing your people, Lord, and afflicting your heritage,

94:6  murdering widows and strangers, slaying the fatherless?

94:7  They think that the Lord does not see, nor the God of Jacob regard it.

94:8  Take heed, you dullest of people; when will you be wise, you fools?

94:9  Is he deaf, who planted the ear? Is he blind, who fashioned the eye?

94:10  Can he who trains nations not punish them he who teaches knowledge to people?

94:11  The Lord knows the thoughts of people, that only a breath are they.

94:12  Happy are those whom you chasten, and teach out of your law,

94:13  keeping them calm in the day of misfortune, till a pit be dug for the wicked.

94:14  For the Lord will not leave his people, he will not forsake his inheritance.

94:15  For the righteous shall come to their rights, and all true-hearted people shall follow them.

94:16  Who will rise up for me against those who do evil? Who will stand up for me against workers of wrong?

94:17  Were it not for the help of the Lord, I would soon have gone to the silent grave.

94:18  When I thought that my foot was slipping, your kindness, Lord, held me up.

94:19  When with cares my heart was crowded, your comforts make me glad.

94:20  Can corrupt justice be your ally, framing mischief by statute?

94:21  They assail the life of the righteous, and innocent blood condemn.

94:22  But the Lord is my sure retreat, my God is the rock of my refuge.

94:23  He will bring back their sin upon them, for their wickedness he will destroy them; the Lord our God will destroy them.
