“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.” (Psalm 94:1-23
AV)
