| 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.
1 Cor 3:20
|
|
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. |
