Psalm 94:18-23
King James Version
Psalm 94:18-23
King James Version
18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 But the Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
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.

Psalm 94:18-23
New International Version
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,(A)”
your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
19 When anxiety(B) was great within me,
your consolation(C) brought me joy.
20 Can a corrupt throne(D) be allied with you—
a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?(E)
21 The wicked band together(F) against the righteous
and condemn the innocent(G) to death.(H)
22 But the Lord has become my fortress,
and my God the rock(I) in whom I take refuge.(J)
23 He will repay(K) them for their sins
and destroy(L) them for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will destroy them.
