Chapter Text
94:1 O Lord God the auenger, O God the auenger, shewe thy selfe clearely.
94:2 Exalt thy selfe, O Iudge of the worlde, and render a reward to the proude.
94:3 Lord how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
94:4 They prate and speake fiercely: all the workers of iniquitie vaunt themselues.
94:5 They smite downe thy people, O Lord, and trouble thine heritage.
94:6 They slay the widowe and the stranger, and murder the fatherlesse.
94:7 Yet they say, The Lord shall not see: neither will the God of Iaakob regard it.
94:8 Vnderstande ye vnwise among the people: and ye fooles, when will ye be wise?
94:9 Hee that planted the eare, shall hee not heare? or he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
94:10 Or he that chastiseth the nations, shall he not correct? hee that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not knowe?
94:11 The Lord knoweth the thoughtes of man, that they are vanitie.
94:12 Blessed is the man, whom thou chastisest, O Lord, and teachest him in thy Lawe,
94:13 That thou mayest giue him rest from the dayes of euill, whiles the pitte is digged for the wicked.
94:14 Surely the Lord will not faile his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
94:15 For iudgement shall returne to iustice, and all the vpright in heart shall follow after it.
94:16 Who will rise vp with me against the wicked? or who will take my part against the workers of iniquitie?
94:17 If the Lord had not holpen me, my soule had almost dwelt in silence.
94:18 When I said, My foote slideth, thy mercy, O Lord, stayed me.
94:19 In the multitude of my thoughts in mine heart, thy comfortes haue reioyced my soule.
94:20 Hath the throne of iniquitie fellowship with thee, which forgeth wrong for a Lawe?
94:21 They gather them together against the soule of the righteous, and condemne the innocent blood.
94:22 But the Lord is my refuge, and my God is the rocke of mine hope.
94:23 And hee will recompence them their wickednes, and destroy them in their owne malice: yea, the Lord our God shall destroy them.
