Psalm 94 | New International Version
1The Lord is a God who avenges. O God who avenges, shine forth.2Rise up, Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.3How long, Lord, will the wicked, how long will the wicked be jubilant?4They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers are full of boasting.5They crush your people, Lord; they oppress your inheritance.6They slay the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.7They say, ‘The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob takes no notice.’8Take notice, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?9Does he who fashioned the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?10Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?11The Lord knows all human plans; he knows that they are futile.12Blessed is the one you discipline, Lord, the one you teach from your law;13you grant them relief from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked.14For the Lord will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance.15Judgment will again be founded on righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it.16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?17Unless the Lord had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.18When I said, ‘My foot is slipping,’ your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.19When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.20Can a corrupt throne be allied with you – a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?21The wicked band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.22But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.23He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the Lord our God will destroy them.
New International Reader’s Version
1The LORD is a God who punishes. Since you are the one who punishes, come and show your anger.2Judge of the earth, rise up. Pay back proud people for what they have done.3LORD, how long will those who are evil be glad? How long will they be full of joy?4Proud words pour out of their mouths. All those who do evil are always boasting.5LORD, they crush your people. They treat badly those who belong to you.6They kill outsiders. They kill widows. They murder children whose fathers have died.7They say, ‘The LORD doesn’t see what’s happening. The God of Jacob doesn’t pay any attention to it.’8You who aren’t wise, pay attention. You foolish people, when will you become wise?9Does he who made the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?10Does he who corrects nations not punish? Does he who teaches human beings not know anything?11The LORD knows what people think. He knows that their thoughts don’t amount to anything.12LORD, blessed is the person you correct. Blessed is the person you teach from your law.13You give them rest from times of trouble, until a pit is dug to trap sinners.14The LORD won’t say no to his people. He will never desert those who belong to him.15He will again judge people in keeping with what is right. All those who have honest hearts will follow the right way.16Who will rise up for me against sinful people? Who will stand up for me against those who do evil?17Suppose the LORD had not helped me. Then I would soon have been lying quietly in the grave.18I said, ‘My foot is slipping.’ But LORD, your faithful love kept me from falling.19I was very worried. But your comfort brought me joy.20Can you have anything to do with rulers who aren’t fair? Can those who make laws that cause suffering be friends of yours?21Evil people join together against those who do what is right. They sentence to death those who aren’t guilty of doing anything wrong.22But the LORD has become like a fort to me. My God is my rock. I go to him for safety.23He will pay them back for their sins. He will destroy them for their evil acts. The LORD our God will destroy them.
