Psalm 94

¹O 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!

³O Lord, how long shall the wicked,
how long shall the wicked exult?

⁴They pour out their arrogant words;
all the evildoers boast.

⁵They crush your people, O Lord,
and afflict your heritage.

⁶They 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?

¹⁰He 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,

¹³to 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;

¹⁵for 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.

¹⁸When I thought, “My foot slips,”
your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up.

¹⁹When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul.

²⁰Can wicked rulers be allied with you,
those who frame injustice by statute?

²¹They band together against the life of the righteous
and condemn the innocent to death.

²²But the Lord has become my stronghold,
and my God the rock of my refuge.

²³He will bring back on them their iniquity
and wipe them out for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will wipe them out.
