Psalms 94:1-13 ▼

1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongs, O God, to whom vengeance belongs, show thyself.

2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud.

3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked boast?

4 They shall utter and speak unjust things; they shall speak all kinds of evil things.

5 For they have humbled thy people, O LORD, and subdued thine heritage.

6 They slay the widow and the innocent, and murder the fatherless.

7 Yet they say, The LORD does not see, neither does the God of Jacob regard it.

8 Understand, you stupid among the people and you fools, when will you be wise?

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

10 He who chastises the nations, shall not he rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge, shall he not know?

11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man; they are like a breath.

12 Blessed is the man whom thou dost chasten, O LORD, and teachest out of thy law;

13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
