Psalms 94

New Century Version NCV

1 The Lord is a God who punishes. God, show your greatness and punish!

2 Rise up, Judge of the earth, and give the proud what they deserve.

3 How long will the wicked be happy? How long, Lord?

4 They are full of proud words; those who do evil brag about what they have done.

5 Lord, they crush your people and make your children suffer.

6 They kill widows and foreigners and murder orphans.

7 They say, "The Lord doesn't see; the God of Jacob doesn't notice."

8 You stupid ones among the people, pay attention. You fools, when will you understand?

9 Can't the creator of ears hear? Can't the maker of eyes see?

10 Won't the one who corrects nations punish you? Doesn't the teacher of people know everything?

11 The Lord knows what people think. He knows their thoughts are just a puff of wind.

12 Lord, those you correct are happy; you teach them from your law.

13 You give them rest from times of trouble until a pit is dug for the wicked.

14 The Lord won't leave his people nor give up his children.

15 Judgment will again be fair, and all who are honest will follow it.

16 Who will help me fight against the wicked? Who will stand with me against those who do evil?

17 If the Lord had not helped me, I would have died in a minute.

18 I said, "I am about to fall," but, Lord, your love kept me safe.

19 I was very worried, but you comforted me and made me happy.

20 Crooked leaders cannot be your friends. They use the law to cause suffering.

21 They join forces against people who do right and sentence to death the innocent.

22 But the Lord is my defender; my God is the rock of my protection.

23 God will pay them back for their sins and will destroy them for 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.
