PSALM 94
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1O Lord God, unto whom alone
all vengeance doth belong;
O mighty God, who vengeance own'st,
shine forth, avenging wrong.
2Lift up thyself, thou of the earth
the sov'reign Judge that art;
And unto those that are so proud
a due reward impart.
3How long, O mighty God, shall they
who lewd and wicked be,
How long shall they who wicked are
thus triumph haughtily?
4How long shall things most hard by them
be uttered and told?
And all that work iniquity
to boast themselves be bold?
5Thy folk they break in pieces, Lord,
thine heritage oppress:
6The widow they and stranger slay,
and kill the fatherless.
7Yet say they, God it shall not see,
nor God of Jacob know.
8Ye brutish people! understand;
fools! when wise will ye grow?
9The Lord did plant the ear of man,
and hear then shall not he?
He only form'd the eye, and
then shall he not clearly see?
10He that the nations doth correct,
shall he not chastise you?
He knowledge unto man doth teach,
and shall himself not know?
11Man's thoughts to be but vanity
the Lord doth well discern.
12Bless'd is the man thou chast'nest, Lord,
and mak'st thy law to learn:
13That thou may'st give him rest from days
of sad adversity,
Until the pit be digg'd for those
that work iniquity.
14For sure the Lord will not cast off
those that his people be,
Neither his own inheritance
quit and forsake will he:
15But judgment unto righteousness
shall yet return again;
And all shall follow after it
that are right-hearted men.
16Who will rise up for me against
those that do wickedly?
Who will stand up for me 'gainst those
that work iniquity?
17Unless the Lord had been my help
when I was sore opprest,
Almost my soul had in the house
of silence been at rest.
18When I had uttered this word,
(my foot doth slip away,)
Thy mercy held me up, O Lord,
thy goodness did me stay.
19Amidst the multitude of thoughts
which in my heart do fight,
My soul, lest it be overcharg'd,
thy comforts do delight.
20Shall of iniquity the throne
have fellowship with thee,
Which mischief, cunningly contriv'd,
doth by a law decree?
21Against the righteous souls they join,
they guiltless blood condemn.
22But of my refuge God's the rock,
and my defence from them.
23On them their own iniquity
the Lord shall bring and lay,
And cut them off in their own sin;
our Lord God shall them slay.

Psalms 94
94
1O Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], to whom vengeance belongs; O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], to whom vengeance belongs, show yourself.
2Lift up yourself, youi judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], 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?
5They break in pieces youri people, O Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], and afflict youri heritage.
6They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7Yet they say, The Lord- Yah [Behold The Hand] (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall not see, neither shall the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Ya’akov [Heel of God] regard [it].
8Understand, you2f “stupid as a beast” among the people: and [you2f] fools, when will you2f be wise?
9He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10He that chastises the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teaches man knowledge, [shall not he know]?
11The Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] knows the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.
12Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [is] the man whom youi chasten, O Lord- [Yah] (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and teaches him out of youri law;
13That youi may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14For the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? [or] who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17Unless the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [had been] my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18When I said, My foot slips; youi mercy, O Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], held me up.
19In the multitude of my thoughts within me youri comforts delight my soul.
20Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with youi, which frames mischief by a law?
21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22But the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] is my defense; and my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [is] the rock of my refuge.
23And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; [yea], the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] shall cut them off.
