Psalm 94

Psalm 94

¹O Lord ^†God, ^ato whom vengeance belongeth;

^bO God, to whom vengeance belongeth, ^†shew thyself.

^2cLift up thyself, thou ^djudge of the earth:

Render a reward to the proud.

³Lord, ^cHow long shall the wicked,

^bHow long shall the wicked triumph?

⁴How long shall they ^eeutter and speak ^fhard things?

And all ^gthe workers of iniquity boast themselves?

⁵They ^hbreak in pieces thy people, O Lord,

And afflict thine heritage.

⁶They slay the widow and the stranger,

And murder the fatherless.

⁷ⁱYet they say, The ^kLord shall not see,

Neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.

^8lUnderstand, ye ^lbrutish ^mamong the people:

And ye ^lfools, when will ye be wise?

⁹ⁿHe that planted the ear, shall he not hear?

He that formed the eye, shall he not see?

¹⁰He that ^ochastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct?

^pHe that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?

^11qThe Lord knoweth the thoughts of man,

That they are ^rvanity.

¹²Blessed is the man whom thou ^oschastenest, O ^kLord,

And ^pteachest him out of thy law;

¹³That thou mayest ^tgive him rest from ^uthe days of adversity,

Until ^vthe pit be digged for the wicked.

¹⁴For ^wthe Lord will not cast off his people,

Neither will he forsake his inheritance.

¹⁵But judgment shall return unto righteousness:

And all ^xthe upright in heart ^†shall follow it.

¹⁶Who will ^yrise up for me ^zagainst the evildoers?

Or who will ^ystand up for me ^zagainst ^gthe workers of iniquity?

^17aUnless the Lord had been my help,

My soul had ^||balmost dwelt in ^csilence.

¹⁸When I said, ^dMy foot slippeth;

Thy mercy, O Lord, ^eheld me up.

¹⁹In the multitude of my ^fthoughts within me

Thy comforts delight my soul.

²⁰Shall the throne of ^giniquity have fellowship with thee,

Which frameth mischief ^hby a law?

²¹They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,

And ⁱcondemn the innocent blood.

²²But the Lord is my ^jdefence;

And my God is ^kthe rock of my ^lrefuge.

²³And ^mhe shall bring upon them their own iniquity,

And shall ^nocut them off in their own wickedness;

Yea, the Lord our God ^oshall ⁿcut them off.
