Psalm 94:5-15
Good News Translation
Psalm 94:5-15
Good News Translation
5 They crush your people, Lord;
they oppress those who belong to you.
6 They kill widows and orphans,
and murder the strangers who live in our land.
7 They say, “The Lord does not see us;
the God of Israel does not notice.”
8 My people, how can you be such stupid fools?
When will you ever learn?
9 God made our ears—can't he hear?
He made our eyes—can't he see?
10 He scolds the nations—won't he punish them?[a]
He is the teacher of us all—hasn't he any knowledge?
11 (A)The Lord knows what we think;
he knows how senseless our reasoning is.
12 Lord, how happy are those you instruct,
the ones to whom you teach your law!
13 You give them rest from days of trouble
until a pit is dug to trap the wicked.
14 The Lord will not abandon his people;
he will not desert those who belong to him.
15 Justice will again be found in the courts,
and all righteous people will support it.

New International Version
Psalm 94:5-15
New International Version
5 They crush your people,(A) Lord;
they oppress your inheritance.(B)
6 They slay the widow(C) and the foreigner;
they murder the fatherless.(D)
7 They say, “The Lord does not see;(E)
the God of Jacob(F) takes no notice.”
8 Take notice, you senseless ones(G) among the people;
you fools, when will you become wise?
9 Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?
Does he who formed the eye not see?(H)
10 Does he who disciplines(I) nations not punish?
Does he who teaches(J) mankind lack knowledge?
11 The Lord knows all human plans;(K)
he knows that they are futile.(L)
12 Blessed is the one you discipline,(M) Lord,
the one you teach(N) from your law;
13 you grant them relief from days of trouble,(O)
till a pit(P) is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not reject his people;(Q)
he will never forsake his inheritance.
15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,(R)
and all the upright in heart(S) will follow it.
