Psalm 94

New Living Translation NLT

1 O LORD, the God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, let your glorious justice shine forth!

2 Arise, O Judge of the earth. Give the proud what they deserve.

3 How long, O LORD ? How long will the wicked be allowed to gloat?

4 How long will they speak with arrogance? How long will these evil people boast?

5 They crush your people, LORD, hurting those you claim as your own.

6 They kill widows and foreigners and murder orphans.

7 “The LORD isn’t looking,” they say, “and besides, the God of Israel doesn’t care.”

8 Think again, you fools! When will you finally catch on?

9 Is he deaf—the one who made your ears? Is he blind—the one who formed your eyes?

10 He punishes the nations—won’t he also punish you? He knows everything—doesn’t he also know what you are doing?

11 The LORD knows people’s thoughts; he knows they are worthless!

12 Joyful are those you discipline, LORD, those you teach with your instructions.

13 You give them relief from troubled times until a pit is dug to capture the wicked.

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

15 Judgment will again be founded on justice, and those with virtuous hearts will pursue it.

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

17 Unless the LORD had helped me, I would soon have settled in the silence of the grave.

18 I cried out, “I am slipping!” but your unfailing love, O LORD, supported me.

19 When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.

20 Can unjust leaders claim that God is on their side— leaders whose decrees permit injustice?

21 They gang up against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.

22 But the LORD is my fortress; my God is the mighty rock where I hide.

23 God will turn the sins of evil people back on them. He will destroy them for their sins. The LORD our God will destroy them.

English Standard Version ESV

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

2 Rise up, O judge of the earth; repay 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 sojourner, and murder the fatherless;

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, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge—

11 the Lord—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.

12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O Lord, and whom you teach out of your law,

13 to give him rest 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 slips, ”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 frame injustice 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 bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the Lord our God will wipe them out.
