Psalms 94

The Message Bible MSG

1 God, put an end to evil; avenging God, show your colors!

2 Judge of the earth, take your stand; throw the book at the arrogant.

3 God, the wicked get away with murder - how long will you let this go on?

4 They brag and boast and crow about their crimes!

5 They walk all over your people, God, exploit and abuse your precious people.

6 They take out anyone who gets in their way; if they can't use them, they kill them.

7 They think, "God isn't looking, Jacob's God is out to lunch."

8 Well, think again, you idiots, fools - how long before you get smart?

9 Do you think Ear-Maker doesn't hear, Eye-Shaper doesn't see?

10 Do you think the trainer of nations doesn't correct, the teacher of Adam doesn't know?

11 God knows, all right - knows your stupidity, sees your shallowness.

12 How blessed the man you train, God, the woman you instruct in your Word,

13 Providing a circle of quiet within the clamor of evil, while a jail is being built for the wicked.

14 God will never walk away from his people, never desert his precious people.

15 Rest assured that justice is on its way and every good heart put right.

16 Who stood up for me against the wicked? Who took my side against evil workers?

17 If God hadn't been there for me, I never would have made it.

18 The minute I said, "I'm slipping, I'm falling," your love, God, took hold and held me fast.

19 When I was upset and beside myself, you calmed me down and cheered me up.

20 Can Misrule have anything in common with you? Can Troublemaker pretend to be on your side?

21 They ganged up on good people, plotted behind the backs of the innocent.

22 But God became my hideout, God was my high mountain retreat,

23 Then boomeranged their evil back on them: for their evil ways he wiped them out, our God cleaned them out for good.

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.
