Chapter 94

  O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.  

-

  Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.  

-

  LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?  

-

  [How long] shall they utter [and] speak hard things? [and] all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?  

-

  They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.  

-

  They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.  

-

  Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard [it].  

-

  Understand, ye brutish among the people: and [ye] fools, when will ye be wise?  

-

  He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?  

-

  He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, [shall not he know]?  

-

  The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.  

-

  Blessed [is] the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;  

-

  That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.  

-

  For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.  

-

  But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.  

-

  Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? [or] who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?  

-

  Unless the LORD [had been] my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.  

-

  When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.  

-

  In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.  

-

  Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?  

-

  They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.  

-

  But the LORD is my defence; and my God [is] the rock of my refuge.  

-

  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.
