Noyes - Psalms - 94

94:1  O LORD! thou God of vengeance! O thou God of vengeance! shine forth!

94:2  Rouse thyself, thou judge of the earth! Render a recompense to the proud!

94:3  How long, O LORD! shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph?

94:4  How long shall their lips pour forth insolence? How long shall all the evil-doers boast?

94:5  O LORD! they trample upon thy people, And oppress thine inheritance!

94:6  They slay the widow, and the stranger, And murder the fatherless;

94:7  And they say, "The LORD doth not see, The God of Jacob doth not regard!"

94:8  Be instructed, ye most stupid of mankind! O when, ye fools, will ye be wise?

94:9  He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?

94:10  He that chastiseth nations, shall not he punish? He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?

94:11  The LORD knoweth the thoughts of men, That they are vanity.

94:12  Happy the man, O LORD! whom thou correctest, Whom by thy teaching thou makest wise;

94:13  To give him peace in the days of adversity, Until a pit be digged for the wicked!

94:14  For the LORD will not forsake his people, Nor abandon his own inheritance.

94:15  For judgment shall return to justice, And all the upright in heart shall follow it.

94:16  Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evil-doers?

94:17  If the LORD had not been my help, I had well nigh dwelt in the land of silence.

94:18  When I think that my foot is slipping, Thy goodness, O LORD! holdeth me up.

94:19  In the multitude of anxieties within me, Thy consolations revive my soul.

94:20  Shall with thee be allied the throne of iniquity, Which deviseth mischief against law?

94:21  They band together against the life of the righteous, And condemn innocent blood.

94:22  But the LORD is my fortress, And my God the rock of my refuge.

94:23  He will bring upon them their own iniquity; Yea, through their own wickedness he will cut them off; Yea, the LORD, our God, will cut them off.
