Psalm 94

The Psalm

Psalms. Chapter 94. LORD, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out. Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve. LORD, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph? They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast. They break your people in pieces, LORD, and afflict your heritage. They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless. They say, “The LORD will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.” Consider, you senseless amongst the people; you fools, when will you be wise? He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear? He who formed the eye, won’t he see? He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows. The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile. Blessed is the man whom you discipline, 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 won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. For judgement will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it. Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers? Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence. When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your loving kindness, LORD, held me up. In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul. Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute? They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. But the LORD has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge. He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. The LORD, our God, will cut them off.

Worship Lyrics

LORD, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out
Rise up, you judge of the earth
Pay back the proud what they deserve
LORD, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph
They pour out arrogant words
All the evildoers boast
They break your people in pieces, LORD, and afflict your heritage
They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless
They say, The LORD will not see, neither will Jacobs God consider
Consider, you senseless amongst the people; you fools, when will you be wise
He who implanted the ear, wont he hear
He who formed the eye, wont he see
He who disciplines the nations, wont he punish
He who teaches man knows
The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile
Blessed is the man whom you discipline, 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 wont reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance
For judgement will return to righteousness
All the upright in heart shall follow it
Who will rise up for me against the wicked
Who will stand up for me against the evildoers
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence
When I said, My foot is slipping
Your loving kindness, LORD, held me up
In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul
Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous
And condemn the innocent blood
But the LORD has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge
He has brought on them their own iniquity
And will cut them off in their own wickedness
The LORD, our God, will cut them off
