Psalms 94
King James Version

1 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth;
O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.​
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.​

16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?
or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?​
17 Unless the Lord had been my help,
my soul had almost dwelt in silence.​
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.
God The Refuge Of The Righteous
