NASB Bible

Psalms 94

The LORD Implored to Avenge His People.

1

O LORD, God of  1 avengeance, God of  1vengeance,  2 bshine forth!

2

 aRise up, O  bJudge of the earth, Render recompense  cto the proud.

3

How long shall the wicked, O LORD, How long shall the  awicked exult?

4

They pour forth words, they  aspeak arrogantly; All who do wickedness  bvaunt themselves.

5

They  acrush Your people, O LORD, And  bafflict Your heritage.

6

They  aslay the widow and the  1stranger And murder the orphans.

7

 aThey have said, " 1The LORD does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed."

8

Pay heed, you  asenseless among the people; And when will you understand,  astupid ones?

9

He who  aplanted the ear,  1does He not hear? He who formed the eye,  1does He not see?

10

He who  1 achastens the nations, will He not rebuke, Even He who  bteaches man knowledge?

11

The LORD  aknows the thoughts of man,  1That they are a mere breath.

12

Blessed is the man whom  aYou chasten, O  1LORD, And  bwhom You teach out of Your law;

13

That You may grant him  arelief from the  bdays of adversity, Until  ca pit is dug for the wicked.

14

For  athe LORD will not abandon His people, Nor will He  bforsake His inheritance.

15

For  1 ajudgment  2will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart  3will follow it.

16

Who will  astand up for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me  bagainst those who do wickedness?

17

If  athe LORD had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.

18

If I should say, " aMy foot has slipped," Your lovingkindness, O LORD, will hold me up.

19

When my anxious thoughts  1multiply within me, Your  aconsolations delight my soul.

20

Can a  1 athrone of destruction be allied with You, One  bwhich devises  2mischief by decree?

21

They  aband themselves together against the  1life of the righteous And  bcondemn  2the innocent to death.

22

But the LORD has been my  astronghold, And my God the  brock of my refuge.

23

He has  abrought back their wickedness upon them And will  1 bdestroy them in their evil; The LORD our God will  1destroy them.
