# Psalms 94 [[Psalms 93|←]] • [[Psalms 95|→]] --- ### 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 shall they utter speak hard things? 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 ### 8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and 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, ### 11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they vanity. ### 12 Blessed 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? who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? ### 17 Unless the Lord 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 the rock of my refuge. ### 23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; the Lord our God shall cut them off.
