Psalms 94

luther1545 kjv valera ls1910

¹O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth. ²Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: Render to the proudtheir desert. ³Jehovah, how long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph? ⁴They prate, they speak arrogantly: All the workers of iniquity boast themselves. ⁵They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah, And afflict thy heritage. ⁶They slay the widow and the sojourner, And murder the fatherless. ⁷And they say, Jehovah will not see, Neither will the God of Jacob consider. ⁸Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye be wise? ⁹He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see? ¹⁰He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct, Evenhe that teacheth man knowledge? ¹¹Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, That they are vanity. ¹²Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah, And teachest out of thy law; ¹³That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit be digged for the wicked. ¹⁴For Jehovah will not cast off his people, Neither will he forsake his inheritance. ¹⁵For judgment shall return unto righteousness; And all the upright in heart shall follow it. ¹⁶Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? ¹⁷Unless Jehovah had been my help, My soul had soon dwelt in silence. ¹⁸When I said, My foot slippeth; Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up. ¹⁹In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul. ²⁰Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee, Which frameth mischief by statute? ²¹They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, And condemn the innocent blood. ²²But Jehovah hath been my high tower, And my God the rock of my refuge. ²³And he hath brought upon them their own iniquity, And will cut them off in their own wickedness; Jehovah our God will cut them off.
