Psalm 94

Psa. 94:1  God of vengeance, O LORD
			    O God of vengeance, shine forth!

Psa. 94:2  Rise up, O judge of the earth;
			    pay back to the proud what they deserve!

Psa. 94:3  How long shall the wicked, O LORD, 
			     how long shall the wicked exult? 

Psa. 94:4  They pour out their arrogant words;
		          all the evildoers boast.

Psa. 94:5  They crush your people, O LORD,
			     and oppress your heritage.

Psa. 94:6  They slay the widow and the sojourner,
			     and murder the fatherless. 

Psa. 94:7  and they say, “The LORD does not see;
		         the God of Jacob does not consider.”

Psa. 94:8  Consider this, you senseless ones among the people,
			     and fools, when will you be wise? 

Psa. 94:9  He who implanted the ear, does he not hear?
				He who formed the eye, does he not see?

Psa. 94:10 He who disciplines the nations, does he not punish,
 			      he who teaches man knowledge—

Psa. 94:11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man,
		            that they are but a breath.

Psa. 94:12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O LORD,
		           and whom you teach out of your law,

Psa. 94:13 to give him rest from days of trouble,
				until a pit is dug for the wicked.

Psa. 94:14 For the LORD will not forsake his people;
		           he will not abandon his heritage;

Psa. 94:15 for justice will return to the righteous,
		           and all the upright in heart will follow it.

Psa. 94:16 Who rises up for me against the wicked?
			     Who stands up for me against evildoers?

Psa. 94:17 Unless the LORD had been my help,
			      I would have soon dwelt in the silence of death.

Psa. 94:18 If I say, “My foot is slipping,” 
			     your lovingkindness, O LORD, supports me.

Psa. 94:19 When many anxious thoughts are in me, 
			       your consolations delight my life.

Psa. 94:20 Can a throne of corruption be allied with you, 			      those who form injustice by statute?

Psa. 94:21 They band together against the life of the righteous
			      and condemn the innocent to death.

Psa. 94:22 But the LORD has become my stronghold,
		            and my God the rock of my refuge.

Psa. 94:23 He will bring back on them their iniquity
			      and annihilate them
 			  for their wickedness;
				 and the LORD our God will annihilate them.
