Psalms 94
1 O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth.
O Lord God the auenger, O God the auenger, shewe thy selfe clearely.
2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud.
Exalt thy selfe, O Iudge of the worlde, and render a reward to the proude.
3 How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked exult?
Lord how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 They pour out arrogant words; all workers of iniquity boast.
They prate and speake fiercely: all the workers of iniquitie vaunt themselues.
5 They crush Your people, O LORD; they oppress Your heritage.
They smite downe thy people, O Lord, and trouble thine heritage.
6 They kill the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.
They slay the widowe and the stranger, and murder the fatherlesse.
7 They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.”
Yet they say, The Lord shall not see: neither will the God of Iaakob regard it.
8 Take notice, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you be wise?
Vnderstande ye vnwise among the people: and ye fooles, when will ye be wise?
9 He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see?
Hee that planted the eare, shall hee not heare? or he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge?
Or he that chastiseth the nations, shall he not correct? hee that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not knowe?
11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
The Lord knoweth the thoughtes of man, that they are vanitie.
12 Blessed is the man You discipline, O LORD, and teach from Your law,
Blessed is the man, whom thou chastisest, O Lord, and teachest him in thy Lawe,
13 to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
That thou mayest giue him rest from the dayes of euill, whiles the pitte is digged for the wicked.
14 For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage.
Surely the Lord will not faile his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 Surely judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
For iudgement shall returne to iustice, and all the vpright in heart shall follow after it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
Who will rise vp with me against the wicked? or who will take my part against the workers of iniquitie?
17 Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
If the Lord had not holpen me, my soule had almost dwelt in silence.
18 If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me.
When I said, My foote slideth, thy mercy, O Lord, stayed me.
19 When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.
In the multitude of my thoughts in mine heart, thy comfortes haue reioyced my soule.
20 Can a corrupt throne be Your ally— one devising mischief by decree?
Hath the throne of iniquitie fellowship with thee, which forgeth wrong for a Lawe?
21 They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
They gather them together against the soule of the righteous, and condemne the innocent blood.
22 But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge.
But the Lord is my refuge, and my God is the rocke of mine hope.
23 He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness. The LORD our God will destroy them.
And hee will recompence them their wickednes, and destroy them in their owne malice: yea, the Lord our God shall destroy them.
