King James VersionPsalms94

Psalms

1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance be­longeth; O God, to whom vengeance be­longeth, shew 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 tri­umph?
4 How long shall they ut­ter and speak hard things? and all the work­ers of in­iq­ui­ty boast them­selves?
5 They break in pieces thy peo­ple, O LORD, and af­flict thine her­itage.
6 They slay the wid­ow and the stranger, and mur­der the fa­ther­less.
7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, nei­ther shall the God of Ja­cob re­gard it.
8 Un­der­stand, ye brutish among the peo­ple: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9 He that plant­ed the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 He that chas­tiseth the hea­then, shall not he cor­rect? he that tea­cheth man knowl­edge, shall not he know?
11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are van­i­ty.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou chasten­est, O LORD, and teach­est him out of thy law;
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of ad­ver­si­ty, un­til the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 For the LORD will not cast off his peo­ple, nei­ther will he for­sake his in­her­i­tance.
15 But judg­ment shall re­turn unto righ­teous­ness: and all the up­right in heart shall fol­low it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evil­do­ers? or who will stand up for me against the work­ers of in­iq­ui­ty?
17 Un­less the LORD had been my help, my soul had al­most dwelt in si­lence.
18 When I said, My foot slip­peth; thy mer­cy, O LORD, held me up.
19 In the mul­ti­tude of my thoughts with­in me thy com­forts de­light my soul.
20 Shall the throne of in­iq­ui­ty have fel­low­ship with thee, which fram­eth mis­chief by a law?
21 They gath­er them­selves to­geth­er against the soul of the righ­teous, and con­demn the in­no­cent blood.
22 But the LORD is my de­fence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 And he shall bring upon them their own in­iq­ui­ty, and shall cut them off in their own wicked­ness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
