Book of Psalms, No. 94
Psalms 94 ASV - American Standard Version No. 94 of the Psalms—American Standard Version (ASV)
- ¶ O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth,
¶ Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth. - ¶ Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth:
¶ Render to the proud their desert. - ¶ Jehovah, how long shall the wicked,
¶ How long shall the wicked triumph? - ¶ They prate, they speak arrogantly:
¶ All the workers of iniquity boast themselves. - ¶ They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah,
¶ And afflict thy heritage. - ¶ They slay the widow and the sojourner,
¶ And murder the fatherless. - ¶ And they say, [a]Jehovah will not see,
¶ Neither will the God of Jacob consider. - ¶ Consider, ye brutish among the people;
¶ And ye fools, when will ye be wise? - ¶ He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?
¶ He that formed the eye, shall he not see? - ¶ He that [b]chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct,
¶ Even he that teacheth man knowledge? - ¶ Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man,
¶ [c]That they are [d]vanity. - ¶ Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O [e]Jehovah,
¶ And teachest out of thy law; - ¶ That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity,
¶ Until the pit be digged for the wicked. - ¶ For Jehovah will not cast off his people,
¶ Neither will he forsake his inheritance. - ¶ For judgment shall return unto righteousness;
¶ And all the upright in heart shall follow it. - ¶ Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers?
¶ Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? - ¶ Unless Jehovah had been my help,
¶ My soul had soon dwelt in silence. - ¶ When I said, My foot slippeth;
¶ Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up. - ¶ In the multitude of my [f]thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul.
- ¶ Shall the [g]throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee,
¶ Which frameth mischief by statute? - ¶ They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,
¶ And condemn the innocent blood. - ¶ But Jehovah hath been my high tower,
¶ And my God the rock of my refuge. - ¶ 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.
