Psalms 94

GNT

NIV

1 Lord, you are a God who punishes; reveal your anger!
1 The LORD is a God who avenges. O God who avenges, shine forth.
2 You are the judge of us all; rise and give the proud what they deserve!
2 Rise up, Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.
3 How much longer will the wicked be glad? How much longer, Lord?
3 How long, LORD, will the wicked, how long will the wicked be jubilant?
4 How much longer will criminals be proud and boast about their crimes?
4 They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers are full of boasting.
5 They crush your people, Lord; they oppress those who belong to you.
5 They crush your people, LORD; they oppress your inheritance.
6 They kill widows and orphans, and murder the strangers who live in our land.
6 They slay the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.
7 They say, "The Lord does not see us; the God of Israel does not notice."
7 They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob takes no notice.”
8 My people, how can you be such stupid fools? When will you ever learn?
8 Take notice, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?
9 God made our ears - can't he hear? He made our eyes - can't he see?
9 Does he who fashioned the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?
10 He scolds the nations - won't he punish them? He is the teacher of us all - hasn't he any knowledge?
10 Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?
11 The Lord knows what we think; he knows how senseless our reasoning is.
11 The LORD knows all human plans; he knows that they are futile.
12 Lord, how happy are those you instruct, the ones to whom you teach your law!
12 Blessed is the one you discipline, LORD, the one you teach from your law;
13 You give them rest from days of trouble until a pit is dug to trap the wicked.
13 you grant them relief from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 The Lord will not abandon his people; he will not desert those who belong to him.
14 For the LORD will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance.
15 Justice will again be found in the courts, and all righteous people will support it.
15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16 Who stood up for me against the wicked? Who took my side against the evildoers?
16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?
17 If the Lord had not helped me, I would have gone quickly to the land of silence.
17 Unless the LORD had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.
18 I said, "I am falling"; but your constant love, O Lord, held me up.
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, LORD, supported me.
19 Whenever I am anxious and worried, you comfort me and make me glad.
19 When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.
20 You have nothing to do with corrupt judges, who make injustice legal,
20 Can a corrupt throne be allied with you— a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?
21 who plot against good people and sentence the innocent to death.
21 The wicked band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
22 But the Lord defends me; my God protects me.
22 But the LORD has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
23 He will punish them for their wickedness and destroy them for their sins; the Lord our God will destroy them.
23 He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the LORD our God will destroy them.
