Psalms 94

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.

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.
