Psalms 94

Common English Bible CEB

1 LORD, avenging God— avenging God, show yourself!

2 Rise up, judge of the earth! Pay back the arrogant exactly what they deserve!

3 How long will the wicked—oh, LORD!— how long will the wicked win?

4 They spew arrogant words; all the evildoers are bragging.

5 They crush your own people, LORD! They abuse your very own possession.

6 They kill widows and immigrants; they murder orphans,

7 saying all the while, "The LORD can't see it; Jacob's God doesn't know what's going on!"

8 You ignorant people better learn quickly. You fools—when will you get some sense?

9 The one who made the ear, can't he hear? The one who formed the eye, can't he see?

10 The one who disciplines nations, can't he punish? The one who teaches humans, doesn't he know?

11 The LORD does indeed know human thoughts, knows that they are nothing but a puff of air.

12 The people you discipline, LORD, are truly happy— the ones you teach from your Instruction—

13 giving them relief from troubling times until a pit is dug for the wicked.

14 The LORD will not reject his people; he will not abandon his very own possession.

15 No, but justice will once again meet up with righteousness, and all whose heart is right will follow after.

16 Who will stand up for me against the wicked? Who will help me against evildoers?

17 If the LORD hadn't helped me, I would live instantly in total silence.

18 Whenever I feel my foot slipping, your faithful love steadies me, LORD.

19 When my anxieties multiply, your comforting calms me down.

20 Can a wicked ruler be your ally; one who wreaks havoc by means of the law?

21 The wicked gang up against the lives of the righteous. They condemn innocent blood.

22 But the LORD is my fortress; my God is my rock of refuge.

23 He will repay them for their wickedness, completely destroy them because of their evil. Yes, the LORD our God will completely destroy them.

New Revised Standard NRS

1 O Lord, you God of vengeance, you God of vengeance, shine forth!

2 Rise up, O judge of the earth; give to the proud what they deserve!

3 O Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?

4 They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers boast.

5 They crush your people, O Lord, and afflict your heritage.

6 They kill the widow and the stranger, they murder the orphan,

7 and they say, "The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive."

8 Understand, O dullest of the people; fools, when will you be wise?

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

10 He who disciplines the nations, he who teaches knowledge to humankind, does he not chastise?

11 The Lord knows our thoughts, that they are but an empty breath.

12 Happy are those whom you discipline, O Lord, and whom you teach out of your law,

13 giving them respite from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.

14 For the Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage;

15 for justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers?

17 If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.

18 When I thought, "My foot is slipping," your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up.

19 When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.

20 Can wicked rulers be allied with you, those who contrive mischief by statute?

21 They band together against the life of the righteous, and condemn the innocent to death.

22 But the Lord has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.

23 He will repay them for their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the Lord our God will wipe them out.
