Psalms 94:1-13 ▼

1 LORD, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth!

2 Rise up, Judge of the earth, Pay back retribution to the proud.

3 How long, LORD, shall the wicked— How long shall the wicked triumph?

4 They pour out words, they speak arrogantly; All who do injustice boast.

5 They crush Your people, LORD, And afflict Your inheritance.

6 They kill the widow and the stranger And murder the orphans.

7 They have said, “The LORD does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob perceive.”

8 Pay attention, you stupid ones among the people; And when will you understand, foolish ones?

9 He who planted the ear, does He not hear? Or He who formed the eye, does He not see?

10 He who disciplines the nations, will He not rebuke, He who teaches mankind knowledge?

11 The LORD knows human thoughts, That they are mere breath.

12 Blessed is the man whom You discipline, LORD, And whom You teach from Your Law,

13 So that You may grant him relief from the days of adversity, Until a pit is dug for the wicked.
