Psalm 94The Just Judge
|
|
|
|
1. Lord, God of vengeance--
|
|
God of vengeance, shine!
|
|
|
|
2. Rise up, Judge of the earth;
|
|
repay the proud what they deserve.
|
|
|
|
3. Lord, how long will the wicked--
|
|
how long will the wicked celebrate?
|
|
|
|
4. They pour out arrogant words;
|
|
all the evildoers boast.
|
|
|
|
5. Lord, they crush your people;
|
|
they oppress your heritage.
|
|
|
|
6. They kill the widow and the resident alien
|
|
and murder the fatherless.
|
|
|
|
7. They say, "
|
|
The Lord doesn't see it.
|
|
The God of Jacob doesn't pay attention."
|
|
|
|
8. Pay attention, you stupid people!
|
|
Fools, when will you be wise?
|
|
|
|
9. Can the one who shaped the ear not hear,
|
|
the one who formed the eye not see?
|
|
|
|
10. The one who instructs nations,
|
|
the one who teaches mankind knowledge--
|
|
does he not discipline?
|
|
|
|
11.
|
|
|
|
The Lord knows the thoughts of mankind;
|
|
they are futile.
|
|
|
|
12. Lord, how happy is anyone you discipline
|
|
and teach from your law
|
|
|
|
13. to give him relief from troubled times
|
|
until a pit is dug for the wicked.
|
|
|
|
14.
|
|
|
|
The Lord will not leave his people
|
|
or abandon his heritage,
|
|
|
|
15. for the administration of justice will again be righteous,
|
|
and all the upright in heart will follow it.
|
|
|
|
16. Who stands up for me against the wicked?
|
|
Who takes a stand for me against evildoers?
|
|
|
|
17. If the Lord had not been my helper,
|
|
I would soon rest in the silence of death.
|
|
|
|
18. If I say, "My foot is slipping,"
|
|
your faithful love will support me, Lord.
|
|
|
|
19. When I am filled with cares,
|
|
your comfort brings me joy.
|
|
|
|
20. Can a corrupt throne be your ally,
|
|
a throne that makes evil laws?
|
|
|
|
21. They band together against the life of the righteous
|
|
and condemn the innocent to death.
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. But the Lord is my refuge;
|
|
my God is the rock of my protection.
|
|
|
|
23. He will pay them back for their sins
|
|
and destroy them for their evil.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Lord our God will destroy them.
