Psalm 94 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

God of Vengeance, Shine Forth

Psa 94:1

O Yahweh, God of [fn]vengeance,

God of [fn]vengeance, [fn]shine forth!

Psa 94:2

Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth,

Render recompense to the proud.

Psa 94:3

How long shall the wicked, O Yahweh,

How long shall the wicked exult?

Psa 94:4

They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly;

All workers of iniquity vaunt themselves.

Psa 94:5

They crush Your people, O Yahweh,

And afflict Your inheritance.

Psa 94:6

They slay the widow and the sojourner

And murder the orphans.

Psa 94:7

They have said, “Yah does not see,

Nor does the God of Jacob discern.”

Psa 94:8

Discern, you senseless among the people;

And when will you have insight, you fools?

Psa 94:9

He who planted the ear, [fn]does He not hear?

He who formed the eye, [fn]does He not see?

Psa 94:10

He who [fn]disciplines the nations, will He not rebuke,

Even He who teaches man knowledge?

Psa 94:11

Yahweh knows the thoughts of man,

[fn]That they are vanity.

Psa 94:12

Blessed is the man whom You discipline, O Yah,

And whom You teach out of Your law;

Psa 94:13

That You may grant him calm from the days of calamity,

Until a pit is dug for the wicked.

Psa 94:14

For Yahweh will not abandon His people,

Nor will He forsake His inheritance.

Psa 94:15

For [fn]judgment will [fn]again be righteous,

And all the upright in heart will [fn]follow it.

Psa 94:16

Who will arise for me against evildoers?

Who will take his stand for me against workers of iniquity?

Psa 94:17

If Yahweh had not been my help,

My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.

Psa 94:18

If I should say, “My foot has stumbled,”

Your lovingkindness, O Yahweh, will hold me up.

Psa 94:19

When my anxious thoughts [fn]multiply within me,

Your consolations delight my soul.

Psa 94:20

Can a [fn]throne of destruction be allied with You,

One which forms [fn]trouble by statute?

Psa 94:21

They band themselves together against the [fn]life of the righteous

And condemn [fn]the innocent to death.

Psa 94:22

But Yahweh has been my stronghold,

And my God the rock of my refuge.

Psa 94:23

He has brought back their [fn]iniquity upon them

And will [fn]destroy them in their evil;

Yahweh our God will [fn]destroy them.
