Chapter 94 |
| 1 | O Lord God, to
whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew
thyself. |
| 2
| Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward
to the proud. |
|
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 themselves? |
| 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 digged 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
defence; 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. |
