Psalms 94:1-13 ▼

1 O LORD, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.

2 Lift up Thyself, Thou Judge of the earth; Render to the proud their recompense.

3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked exult?

4 They gush out, they speak arrogancy; All the workers of iniquity bear themselves loftily.

5 They crush Thy people, O LORD, And afflict Thy heritage.

6 They slay the widow and the stranger, And murder the fatherless.

7 And they say: 'The LORD will not see, Neither will the God of Jacob give heed.'

8 Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye understand?

9 He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see?

10 He that instructeth nations, shall not He correct? Even He that teacheth man knowledge?

11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, That they are vanity.

12 Happy is the man whom Thou instructest, O LORD, And teachest out of Thy law;

13 That Thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, Until the pit be digged for the wicked.
