The Message
Psalm 94
The Message
94 1-2 God, put an end to evil;
avenging God, show your colors!
Judge of the earth, take your stand;
throw the book at the arrogant.
3-4 God, the wicked get away with murder—
how long will you let this go on?
They brag and boast
and crow about their crimes!
5-7 They walk all over your people, God,
exploit and abuse your precious people.
They take out anyone who gets in their way;
if they can’t use them, they kill them.
They think, “God isn’t looking,
Jacob’s God is out to lunch.”
8-11 Well, think again, you idiots,
fools—how long before you get smart?
Do you think Ear-Maker doesn’t hear,
Eye-Shaper doesn’t see?
Do you think the trainer of nations doesn’t correct,
the teacher of Adam doesn’t know?
God knows, all right—
knows your stupidity,
sees your shallowness.
12-15 How blessed the man you train, God,
the woman you instruct in your Word,
Providing a circle of quiet within the clamor of evil,
while a jail is being built for the wicked.
God will never walk away from his people,
never desert his precious people.
Rest assured that justice is on its way
and every good heart put right.
16-19 Who stood up for me against the wicked?
Who took my side against evil workers?
If God hadn’t been there for me,
I never would have made it.
The minute I said, “I’m slipping, I’m falling,”
your love, God, took hold and held me fast.
When I was upset and beside myself,
you calmed me down and cheered me up.
20-23 Can Misrule have anything in common with you?
Can Troublemaker pretend to be on your side?
They ganged up on good people,
plotted behind the backs of the innocent.
But God became my hideout,
God was my high mountain retreat,
Then boomeranged their evil back on them:
for their evil ways he wiped them out,
our God cleaned them out for good.

Herren er dommer
94 Herre, du er en retfærdig dommer.
Vis din herlighed ved at dømme de skyldige.
2 Afsig din dom over menneskene,
lad de stolte få den straf, de fortjener.
3 Åh, Herre, hvor længe skal de onde hovere,
hvor længe får de lov til at gå fri?
4 De udspyr trusler til alle sider,
de bryster sig af deres evindelige ondskab.
5 Herre, de undertrykker dit udvalgte folk,
de plager dem, der tilhører dig.
6 De myrder både enker og de fremmede i landet,
de dræber de forældreløse børn.
7 De siger, at du slet ikke ser det,
at Israels Gud ikke opdager, hvad de gør.
8 Tænk jer dog om, I tåber!
Fatter I da slet ingenting?
9 Er han, som skabte øjet, ikke i stand til at se?
Er han, som skabte øret, ikke i stand til at høre?
10 Er han, som styrer verden, ikke i stand til at straffe?
Han, som giver mennesker kundskab,
har kendskab til alt.
11 Han kender menneskenes tanker,
han ved, at de er uden værdi.
12 Det er en velsignelse at blive irettesat af Herren,
for man lærer at adlyde hans lov.
13 Man slipper for en masse problemer,
og han overvinder alle ens fjender.
14 Herren vil ikke forkaste sit folk,
han lader ikke sine egne i stikken.
15 Retfærdigheden skal sejre til sidst,
de retskafne længes efter at se det ske.
16 Hvem beskyttede mig mod de onde?
Hvem skærmede mig mod forbryderne?
17 Havde Herren ikke hjulpet mig,
havde det været ude med mig.
18 Da jeg råbte til dig i min nød,
hjalp du mig, Herre, for du er trofast.
19 Når bekymringerne vælter ind over mig,
så styrker du mig og giver mig nyt mod.
20 De onde regenter gør oprør imod dig,
når de vedtager uretfærdige love.
21 De anklager retskafne mennesker
og dømmer uskyldige til døden.
22 Men Herren er min tilflugt,
min Gud vil beskytte mig.
23 Han straffer de onde på grund af deres synd,
han udrydder dem på grund af deres ondskab.
Herren, vor Gud, vil gøre det af med dem.

Psalm 94
New International Version
Psalm 94
1 The Lord is a God who avenges.(A)
O God who avenges, shine forth.(B)
2 Rise up,(C) Judge(D) of the earth;
pay back(E) to the proud what they deserve.
3 How long, Lord, will the wicked,
how long will the wicked be jubilant?(F)
4 They pour out arrogant(G) words;
all the evildoers are full of boasting.(H)
5 They crush your people,(I) Lord;
they oppress your inheritance.(J)
6 They slay the widow(K) and the foreigner;
they murder the fatherless.(L)
7 They say, “The Lord does not see;(M)
the God of Jacob(N) takes no notice.”
8 Take notice, you senseless ones(O) 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?(P)
10 Does he who disciplines(Q) nations not punish?
Does he who teaches(R) mankind lack knowledge?
11 The Lord knows all human plans;(S)
he knows that they are futile.(T)
12 Blessed is the one you discipline,(U) Lord,
the one you teach(V) from your law;
13 you grant them relief from days of trouble,(W)
till a pit(X) is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not reject his people;(Y)
he will never forsake his inheritance.
15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,(Z)
and all the upright in heart(AA) will follow it.
16 Who will rise up(AB) for me against the wicked?
Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?(AC)
17 Unless the Lord had given me help,(AD)
I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.(AE)
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,(AF)”
your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
19 When anxiety(AG) was great within me,
your consolation(AH) brought me joy.
20 Can a corrupt throne(AI) be allied with you—
a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?(AJ)
21 The wicked band together(AK) against the righteous
and condemn the innocent(AL) to death.(AM)
22 But the Lord has become my fortress,
and my God the rock(AN) in whom I take refuge.(AO)
23 He will repay(AP) them for their sins
and destroy(AQ) them for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will destroy them.
