Psalm 94
1 O Lord
God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom
vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a
reward to the proud.
3 Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall
the wicked triumph?
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things?
and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 They break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and
afflict thine heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder
the fatherless.
7 Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, neither
shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye
fools, when will ye be wise?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he
that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he
correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not
he know?
11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they
are vanity.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord,
and teachest him out of thy law;
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of
adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not cast off his people,
neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and
all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or
who will stand up for me against the workers of
iniquity?
17 Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had
almost dwelt in silence.
18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord,
held me up.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy
comforts delight my soul.
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with
thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul
of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 But the Lord is my defence; and my God is the
rock of my refuge.
23 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.

- The Book of David
The Book of Psalms which contains Psalm 94 is also referred to
as the Book of David. David reigned over Judah and Israel
was the second king of the united Kingdom of Israel. King
David is credited with the authorship of many of the Psalms
and the collection is therefore often referred to as the
Book of David. |
