Psalm 94:1-23
The LORD Will Not Forget His People

1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.

1:

2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.

2:

3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?

3:

4 [How long] shall they utter [and] speak hard things? [and] all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

4:

5 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.

5:

6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.

6:

7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard [it].

7:

8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and [ye] fools, when will ye be wise?

8:

9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

9:

10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, [shall not he know]?

10:

11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.

11:

12 Blessed [is] the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

12:

13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

13:

14 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

14:

15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

15:

16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? [or] who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

16:

17 Unless the LORD [had been] my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

17:

18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.

18:

19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.

19:

20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

20:

21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

21:

22 But the LORD is my defence; and my God [is] the rock of my refuge.

22:

23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; [yea], the LORD our God shall cut them off.

23:
