Psalm 94
NKJV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New King James VersionInternational Standard Version
1O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongs— O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!1God of vengeance, LORD God of vengeance, display your splendor!
2Rise up, O Judge of the earth; Render punishment to the proud.2Stand up, judge of the earth, and repay the proud.
3LORD, how long will the wicked, How long will the wicked triumph?3How long will the wicked, LORD, how long will the wicked continue to triumph?
4They utter speech, and speak insolent things; All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.4When they speak, they spew arrogance. Everyone who practices iniquity brags about it.
5They break in pieces Your people, O LORD, And afflict Your heritage.5LORD, they have crushed your people, afflicting your heritage.
6They slay the widow and the stranger, And murder the fatherless.6The wicked kill widows and foreigners; they murder orphans.
7Yet they say, “The LORD does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob understand.”7They say, "The LORD cannot see, and the God of Jacob will not notice."
8Understand, you senseless among the people; And you fools, when will you be wise?8Pay attention, you dull ones among the crowds! You fools! Will you ever become wise?
9He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?9The one who formed the ear can hear, can he not? The one who made the eyes can see, can he not?
10He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge?10The one who disciplines nations can rebuke them, can he not? The one who teaches mankind can discern, can he not?
11The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are futile.11The LORD knows the thoughts of human beings— that they are futile.
12Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O LORD, And teach out of Your law,12How blessed is the man whom you instruct, LORD, whom you teach from your Law,
13That You may give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked.13keeping him calm when times are troubled until a pit has been dug for the wicked.
14For the LORD will not cast off His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.14For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage.
15But judgment will return to righteousness, And all the upright in heart will follow it.15Righteousness will be restored with justice, and all the pure of heart will follow it.
16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against those who practice iniquity?
17Unless the LORD had been my help, My soul would soon have settled in silence.17If the LORD had not been my helper, I would have quickly become silent.
18If I say, “My foot slips,” Your mercy, O LORD, will hold me up.18When I say that my foot is shaking, your gracious love, LORD, will sustain me.
19In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.19When my anxious inner thoughts become overwhelming, your comfort encourages me.
20Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, Have fellowship with You?20Will destructive national leaders, who plan wicked things through misuse of the Law, be allied with you?
21They gather together against the life of the righteous, And condemn innocent blood.21They gather together against the righteous, condemning the innocent to death.
22But the LORD has been my defense, And my God the rock of my refuge.22But the LORD is my stronghold, and my God, the rock, is my refuge.
23He has brought on them their own iniquity, And shall cut them off in their own wickedness; The LORD our God shall cut them off.23He will repay them for their sin; he will annihilate them because of their evil. The LORD our God will annihilate them.
