- Chapter 94 -

The Lord will not forget his people

1
O Lord God the auenger, O God the auenger, shewe thy selfe clearely.
2
Exalt thy selfe, O Iudge of the worlde, and render a reward to the proude.
3
Lord how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4
They prate and speake fiercely: all the workers of iniquitie vaunt themselues.
5
They smite downe thy people, O Lord, and trouble thine heritage.
6
They slay the widowe and the stranger, and murder the fatherlesse.
7
Yet they say, The Lord shall not see: neither will the God of Iaakob regard it.
8
Vnderstande ye vnwise among the people: and ye fooles, when will ye be wise?
9
Hee that planted the eare, shall hee not heare? or he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10
Or he that chastiseth the nations, shall he not correct? hee that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not knowe?
11
The Lord knoweth the thoughtes of man, that they are vanitie.
12
Blessed is the man, whom thou chastisest, O Lord, and teachest him in thy Lawe,
13
That thou mayest giue him rest from the dayes of euill, whiles the pitte is digged for the wicked.
14
Surely the Lord will not faile his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15
For iudgement shall returne to iustice, and all the vpright in heart shall follow after it.
16
Who will rise vp with me against the wicked? or who will take my part against the workers of iniquitie?
17
If the Lord had not holpen me, my soule had almost dwelt in silence.
18
When I said, My foote slideth, thy mercy, O Lord, stayed me.
19
In the multitude of my thoughts in mine heart, thy comfortes haue reioyced my soule.
20
Hath the throne of iniquitie fellowship with thee, which forgeth wrong for a Lawe?
21
They gather them together against the soule of the righteous, and condemne the innocent blood.
22
But the Lord is my refuge, and my God is the rocke of mine hope.
23
And hee will recompence them their wickednes, and destroy them in their owne malice: yea, the Lord our God shall 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.
14
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.
