Psalms:94

* O LORD God , to whom vengeance belongs -- O God , to whom vengeance belongs , shine forth ! * Rise up , O Judge of the earth ; Render punishment to the proud . * LORD , how long will the wicked , How long will the wicked triumph ? * They utter speech , and speak insolent things ; All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves . * They break in pieces Your people , O LORD , And afflict Your heritage . * They slay the widow and the stranger , And murder the fatherless . * Yet they say , "The LORD does not see , Nor does the God of Jacob understand ." * Understand , you senseless among the people ; And you fools , when will you be wise ? * He who planted the ear , shall He not hear ? He who formed the eye , shall He not see ? * He who instructs the nations , shall He not correct , He who teaches man knowledge ? * The LORD knows the thoughts of man , That they are futile . * Blessed is the man whom You instruct , O LORD , And teach out of Your law , * That You may give him rest from the days of adversity , Until the pit is dug for the wicked . * For the LORD will not cast off His people , Nor will He forsake His inheritance . * But judgment will return to righteousness , And all the upright in heart will follow it . * Who will rise up for me against the evildoers ? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity ? * Unless the LORD had been my help , My soul would soon have settled in silence . * If I say , "My foot slips ," Your mercy , O LORD , will hold me up . * In the multitude of my anxieties within me , Your comforts delight my soul . * Shall the throne of iniquity , which devises evil by law , Have fellowship with You ? * They gather together against the life of the righteous , And condemn innocent blood . * But the LORD has been my defense , And my God the rock of my refuge . * He has brought on them their own iniquity , And shall cut them off in their own wickedness ; The LORD our God shall cut them off .
