Psalm 94 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Jehovah implored to avenge his People.

Psa 94:1
O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth,
Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
Psa 94:2
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth:
Render to the proud their desert.
Psa 94:3
Jehovah, how long shall the wicked,
How long shall the wicked triumph?
Psa 94:4
They prate, they speak arrogantly:
All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.
Psa 94:5
They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah,
And afflict thy heritage.
Psa 94:6
They slay the widow and the sojourner,
And murder the fatherless.
Psa 94:7
And they say, Jehovah will not see,
Neither will the God of Jacob consider.
Psa 94:8
Consider, ye brutish among the people;
And ye fools, when will ye be wise?
Psa 94:9
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?
He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
Psa 94:10
He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct,
Even he that teacheth man knowledge?
Psa 94:11
Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man,
That they are vanity.
Psa 94:12
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah,
And teachest out of thy law;
Psa 94:13
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity,
Until the pit be digged for the wicked.
Psa 94:14
For Jehovah will not cast off his people,
Neither will he forsake his inheritance.
Psa 94:15
For judgment shall return unto righteousness;
And all the upright in heart shall follow it.
Psa 94:16
Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
Psa 94:17
Unless Jehovah had been my help,
My soul had soon dwelt in silence.
Psa 94:18
When I said, My foot slippeth;
Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
Psa 94:19
In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul.
Psa 94:20
Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee,
Which frameth mischief by statute?
Psa 94:21
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,
And condemn the innocent blood.
Psa 94:22
But Jehovah hath been my high tower,
And my God the rock of my refuge.
Psa 94:23
And he hath brought upon them their own iniquity,
And will cut them off in their own wickedness;
Jehovah our God will cut them off.
