Psalm 94:2-15
New International Version
Psalm 94:2-15
New International Version
2 Rise up,(A) Judge(B) of the earth;
pay back(C) to the proud what they deserve.
3 How long, Lord, will the wicked,
how long will the wicked be jubilant?(D)
4 They pour out arrogant(E) words;
all the evildoers are full of boasting.(F)
5 They crush your people,(G) Lord;
they oppress your inheritance.(H)
6 They slay the widow(I) and the foreigner;
they murder the fatherless.(J)
7 They say, “The Lord does not see;(K)
the God of Jacob(L) takes no notice.”
8 Take notice, you senseless ones(M) 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?(N)
10 Does he who disciplines(O) nations not punish?
Does he who teaches(P) mankind lack knowledge?
11 The Lord knows all human plans;(Q)
he knows that they are futile.(R)
12 Blessed is the one you discipline,(S) Lord,
the one you teach(T) from your law;
13 you grant them relief from days of trouble,(U)
till a pit(V) is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not reject his people;(W)
he will never forsake his inheritance.
15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,(X)
and all the upright in heart(Y) will follow it.
Psalm 94:2-15
King James Version
Psalm 94:2-15
King James Version
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 They break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and afflict thine heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law;
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
