- Kapitel 94 -

The Lord will not forget his people

1
O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth.
2
Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud.
3
How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked exult?
4
They pour out arrogant words; all workers of iniquity boast.
5
They crush Your people, O LORD; they oppress Your heritage.
6
They kill the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.
7
They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.”
8
Take notice, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you be wise?
9
He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see?
10
He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge?
11
The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.(a)
12
Blessed is the man You discipline, O LORD, and teach from Your law,
13
to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14
For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage.
15
Surely judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16
Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
17
Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
18
If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me.
19
When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.
20
Can a corrupt throne be Your ally— one devising mischief by decree?
21
They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.(b)
22
But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge.
23
He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness. The LORD our God will destroy them.

The Lord will not forget his people

1
LORD, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.
2
Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.
3
LORD, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?
4
They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.
5
They break your people in pieces, LORD, and afflict your heritage.
6
They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.
7
They say, “The LORD will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.”
8
Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise?
9
He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear? He who formed the eye, won’t he see?
10
He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows.
11
The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
12
Blessed is the man whom you discipline, LORD, and teach out of your law,
13
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.
15
For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.
16
Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?
17
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.
18
When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your loving kindness, LORD, held me up.
19
In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.
20
Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?
21
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22
But the LORD has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.
23
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.
