Psalm 94 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

Psa 94:1O God, in whose hands is punishment, O God of punishment, let your shining face be seen.
Psa 94:2Be lifted up, O judge of the earth; let their reward come to the men of pride.
Psa 94:3How long will sinners, O Lord, how long will sinners have joy over us?
Psa 94:4Words of pride come from their lips; all the workers of evil say great things of themselves.
Psa 94:5Your people are crushed by them, O Lord, your heritage is troubled,
Psa 94:6They put to death the widow and the guest, they take the lives of children who have no father;
Psa 94:7And they say, Jah will not see it, the God of Jacob will not give thought to it.
Psa 94:8Give your mind to my words, you who are without wisdom among the people; you foolish men, when will you be wise?
Psa 94:9Has he by whom your ears were planted no hearing? or is he blind by whom your eyes were formed?
Psa 94:10He who is the judge of the nations, will he not give men the reward of their acts, even he who gives knowledge to man?
Psa 94:11The Lord has knowledge of the thoughts of man, for they are only a breath.
Psa 94:12Happy is the man who is guided by you, O Jah, and to whom you give teaching out of your law;
Psa 94:13So that you may give him rest from the days of evil, till a hole is made ready for the destruction of the sinners.
Psa 94:14The Lord will not give up his people, or take away his support from his heritage;
Psa 94:15But decisions will again be made in righteousness; and they will be kept by all whose hearts are true.
Psa 94:16Who will give me help against the sinners? and who will be my support against the workers of evil?
Psa 94:17If the Lord had not been my helper, my soul would quickly have gone down into death.
Psa 94:18If I say, My foot is slipping; your mercy, O Lord, is my support.
Psa 94:19Among all my troubled thoughts, your comforts are the delight of my soul.
Psa 94:20What part with you has the seat of sin, which makes evil into a law?
Psa 94:21They are banded together against the soul of the upright, to give decisions against those who have done no wrong.
Psa 94:22But the Lord is my safe resting-place; my God is the Rock where I am safe.
Psa 94:23And he has made their evil designs come back on themselves, cutting them off in their sin; the Lord our God will put an end to them.
