Psalm 94
KJV Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
King James BibleNew International Version
1O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.1The LORD is a God who avenges. O God who avenges, shine forth.
2Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.2Rise up, Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.
3LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?3How long, LORD, will the wicked, how long will the wicked be jubilant?
4How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?4They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers are full of boasting.
5They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.5They crush your people, LORD; they oppress your inheritance.
6They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.6They slay the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.
7Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.7They say, "The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob takes no notice."
8Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?8Take notice, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?
9He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?9Does he who fashioned the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?
10He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?10Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?
11The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.11The LORD knows all human plans; he knows that they are futile.
12Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;12Blessed is the one you discipline, LORD, the one you teach from your law;
13That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.13you grant them relief from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked.
14For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.14For the LORD will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance.
15But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.15Judgment will again be founded on righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?
17Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.17Unless the LORD had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.
18When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.18When I said, "My foot is slipping," your unfailing love, LORD, supported me.
19In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.19When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.
20Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?20Can a corrupt throne be allied with you-- a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?
21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.21The wicked band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
22But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.22But the LORD has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
23And 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.23He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the LORD our God will destroy them.
