(KJV) Psalm 941

<< Psalm 93 Psalm 95 >>

⥃The LORD Will Not Forget His People 2

[1] O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth3; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself4. [2] Lift5 up thyself, thou6 judge of the earth: render7 a reward to the proud. [3] Lord8, how long shall the wicked9, how long shall the wicked triumph? [4] [How long] shall10 they utter [and] speak hard things? [and] all the workers of iniquity boast11 themselves? [5] They break12 in pieces thy people, O Lord, and afflict13 thine heritage. [6] They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.14 [7] Yet they say15, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard [it]. [8] Understand, ye brutish16 among the people: and [ye] fools17, when will ye be wise? [9] He that planted18 the ear, shall he not hear19? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? [10] He that chastiseth20 the heathen, shall not he correct21? he that teacheth man22 knowledge, [shall not he know]? [11] The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.23 [12] Blessed24 [is] the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest25 him out of thy law; [13] That thou mayest26 give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit27 be digged for the wicked. [14] For28 the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake29 his inheritance. [15] But30 judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all31 the upright in heart shall follow it32. [16] Who will rise up33 for me against the evildoers? [or] who will stand up34 for me against the workers of iniquity? [17] Unless35 the Lord [had been] my help, my soul had almost36 dwelt37 in silence. [18] When I said, My foot38 slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up. [19] In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.39 [20] Shall the throne40 of iniquity have fellowship41 with thee, which frameth42 mischief by a law? [21] They gather43 themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn44 the innocent blood. [22] But45 the Lord is my defence; and my God [is] the rock46 of my refuge. [23] And he47 shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them48 off in their own wickedness; [yea], the Lord our God shall cut them off.
