Psalm 94
NET Parallel NASB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleNew American Standard Bible 1995
1O LORD, the God who avenges! O God who avenges, reveal your splendor! 1O LORD, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth!
2Rise up, O judge of the earth! Pay back the proud! 2Rise up, O Judge of the earth, Render recompense to the proud.
3O LORD, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked celebrate? 3How long shall the wicked, O LORD, How long shall the wicked exult?
4They spew out threats and speak defiantly; all the evildoers boast. 4They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly; All who do wickedness vaunt themselves.
5O LORD, they crush your people; they oppress the nation that belongs to you. 5They crush Your people, O LORD, And afflict Your heritage.
6They kill the widow and the one residing outside his native land, and they murder the fatherless. 6They slay the widow and the stranger And murder the orphans.
7Then they say, "The LORD does not see this; the God of Jacob does not take notice of it." 7They have said, "The LORD does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed."
8Take notice of this, you ignorant people! You fools, when will you ever understand? 8Pay heed, you senseless among the people; And when will you understand, stupid ones?
9Does the one who makes the human ear not hear? Does the one who forms the human eye not see? 9He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see?
10Does the one who disciplines the nations not punish? He is the one who imparts knowledge to human beings! 10He who chastens the nations, will He not rebuke, Even He who teaches man knowledge?
11The LORD knows that peoples' thoughts are morally bankrupt. 11The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are a mere breath.
12How blessed is the one whom you instruct, O LORD, the one whom you teach from your law, 12Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O LORD, And whom You teach out of Your law;
13in order to protect him from times of trouble, until the wicked are destroyed. 13That You may grant him relief from the days of adversity, Until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14Certainly the LORD does not forsake his people; he does not abandon the nation that belongs to him. 14For the LORD will not abandon His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
15For justice will prevail, and all the morally upright will be vindicated. 15For judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart will follow it.
16Who will rise up to defend me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers? 16Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness?
17If the LORD had not helped me, I would have laid down in the silence of death. 17If the LORD had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
18If I say, "My foot is slipping," your loyal love, O LORD, supports me. 18If I should say, "My foot has slipped," Your lovingkindness, O LORD, will hold me up.
19When worries threaten to overwhelm me, your soothing touch makes me happy. 19When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul.
20Cruel rulers are not your allies, those who make oppressive laws. 20Can a throne of destruction be allied with You, One which devises mischief by decree?
21They conspire against the blameless, and condemn to death the innocent. 21They band themselves together against the life of the righteous And condemn the innocent to death.
22But the LORD will protect me, and my God will shelter me. 22But the LORD has been my stronghold, And my God the rock of my refuge.
23He will pay them back for their sin. He will destroy them because of their evil; the LORD our God will destroy them. 23He has brought back their wickedness upon them And will destroy them in their evil; The LORD our God will destroy them.
