New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Psalm 94:5-15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 They crush your people, O Lord,
and afflict your heritage.
6 They kill the widow and the stranger;
they murder the orphan,
7 and they say, “The Lord does not see;
the God of Jacob does not perceive.”(A)
8 Understand, O dullest of the people;
fools, when will you be wise?(B)
9 He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?(C)
10 He who disciplines the nations,
he who teaches knowledge to humankind,
does he not chastise?(D)
11 The Lord knows our thoughts,[a]
that they are but an empty breath.(E)
12 Happy are those whom you discipline, O Lord,
and whom you teach out of your law,(F)
13 giving them respite from days of trouble,
until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not forsake his people;
he will not abandon his heritage;(G)
15 for justice will return to the righteous,
and all the upright in heart will follow it.
