Psalms 94

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth--O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, show Thyself.

2 Lift up Thyself, Thou judge of the earth; render to the proud their due reward.

3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?

4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things, and all the workers of iniquity boast?

5 They break in pieces Thy people, O LORD, and afflict Thine heritage.

6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.

7 Yet they say, "The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it."

8 Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise?

9 He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see?

10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not He correct? He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not He know?

11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

12 Blessed is the man whom Thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of Thy law,

13 that Thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be dug for the wicked.

14 For the LORD will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance.

15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

18 When I said, "My foot slippeth," Thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.

19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.

20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with Thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

22 But the LORD is my defense, and my God is the rock of my refuge.

23 And He shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off!

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, appear!

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

3 How long, O LORD, will wicked people triumph? How long?

4 They ramble. They speak arrogantly. All troublemakers brag about themselves.

5 They crush your people, O LORD. They make those who belong to you suffer.

6 They kill widows and foreigners, and they murder orphans.

7 They say, "The LORD doesn't see it. The God of Jacob doesn't even pay attention to it."

8 Pay attention, you stupid people! When will you become wise, you fools?

9 God created ears. Do you think he can't hear? He formed eyes. Do you think he can't see?

10 He disciplines nations. Do you think he can't punish? He teaches people. Do you think he doesn't know anything?

11 The LORD knows that people's thoughts are pointless.

12 O LORD, blessed is the person whom you discipline and instruct from your teachings.

13 You give him peace and quiet from times of trouble while a pit is dug to trap wicked people.

14 The LORD will never desert his people or abandon those who belong to him.

15 The decisions of judges will again become fair, and everyone whose motives are decent will pursue justice.

16 Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Who will stand by my side against troublemakers?

17 If the LORD had not come to help me, my soul would have quickly fallen silent [in death].

18 When I said, "My feet are slipping," your mercy, O LORD, continued to hold me up.

19 When I worried about many things, your assuring words soothed my soul.

20 Are wicked rulers who use the law to do unlawful things able to be your partners?

21 They join forces to take the lives of righteous people. They condemn innocent people to death.

22 The LORD has become my stronghold. My God has become my rock of refuge.

23 He has turned their own wickedness against them. He will destroy them because of their sins. The LORD our God will destroy them.
