Psalms 94

New American Standard Bible NAS

1 O LORD , God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth!

2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth, Render recompense to the proud.

3 How long shall the wicked, O LORD , How long shall the wicked exult?

4 They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly; All who do wickedness vaunt themselves.

5 They crush Your people, O LORD , And afflict Your heritage.

6 They slay the widow and the stranger And murder the orphans.

7 They have said, "The LORD does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed."

8 Pay heed, you senseless among the people; And when will you understand, stupid ones?

9 He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see?

10 He who chastens the nations, will He not rebuke, Even He who teaches man knowledge?

11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are a mere breath.

12 Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O LORD , And whom You teach out of Your law;

13 That You may grant him relief from the days of adversity, Until a pit is dug for the wicked.

14 For the LORD will not abandon His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.

15 For judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness?

17 If the LORD had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.

18 If I should say, "My foot has slipped," Your lovingkindness, O LORD , will hold me up.

19 When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul.

20 Can a throne of destruction be allied with You, One which devises mischief by decree?

21 They band themselves together against the life of the righteous And condemn the innocent to death.

22 But the LORD has been my stronghold, And my God the rock of my refuge.

23 He has brought back their wickedness upon them And will destroy them in their evil; The LORD our God will destroy them.

New International Version NIV

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

12 Blessed is the one you discipline, LORD, the one you teach from your law;

13 you grant them relief from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked.

14 For the LORD will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance.

15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?

17 Unless the LORD had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.

18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, LORD, supported me.

19 When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.

20 Can a corrupt throne be allied with you— a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?

21 The wicked band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.

22 But the LORD has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.

23 He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the LORD our God will destroy them.
