Psalm 94
NASB



The Lord Implored to Avenge His People.

Tools
1
O Lord, God of (a)(A)vengeance,
God of (b)vengeance, (c)(B)shine forth!
Tools
2
(C)Rise up, O (D)Judge of the earth,
Render recompense (E)to the proud.
Tools
3
How long shall the wicked, O Lord,
How long shall the (F)wicked exult?
Tools
4
They pour forth words, they (G)speak arrogantly;
All who do wickedness (H)vaunt themselves.
Tools
5
They (I)crush Your people, O Lord,
And (J)afflict Your heritage.
Tools
6
They (K)slay the widow and the (d)stranger
And murder the orphans.
Tools
7
(L)They have said, “(e)The Lord does not see,
Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed.”
Tools
8
Pay heed, you (M)senseless among the people;
And when will you understand, (N)stupid ones?
Tools
9
He who (O)planted the ear, (f)does He not hear?
He who formed the eye, (g)does He not see?
Tools
10
He who (h)(P)chastens the nations, will He not rebuke,
Even He who (Q)teaches man knowledge?
Tools
11
The Lord (R)knows the thoughts of man,
(i)That they are a mere breath.
Tools
12
Blessed is the man whom (S)You chasten, O (j)Lord,
And (T)whom You teach out of Your law;
Tools
13
That You may grant him (U)relief from the (V)days of adversity,
Until (W)a pit is dug for the wicked.
Tools
14
For (X)the Lord will not abandon His people,
Nor will He (Y)forsake His inheritance.
Tools
15
For (k)(Z)judgment (l)will again be righteous,
And all the upright in heart (m)will follow it.
Tools
16
Who will (AA)stand up for me against evildoers?
Who will take his stand for me (AB)against those who do wickedness?
Tools
17
If (AC)the Lord had not been my help,
My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
Tools
18
If I should say, “(AD)My foot has slipped,”
Your lovingkindness, O Lord, will hold me up.
Tools
19
When my anxious thoughts (n)multiply within me,
Your (AE)consolations delight my soul.
Tools
20
Can a (o)(AF)throne of destruction be allied with You,
One (AG)which devises (p)mischief by decree?
Tools
21
They (AH)band themselves together against the (q)life of the righteous
And (AI)condemn (r)the innocent to death.
Tools
22
But the Lord has been my (AJ)stronghold,
And my God the (AK)rock of my refuge.
Tools
23
He has (AL)brought back their wickedness upon them
And will (s)(AM)destroy them in their evil;
The Lord our God will (t)destroy them.
