Ps 94:1-11

1LORD, avenging God,

avenging God, shine forth!^a

2Rise up, O judge of the earth;

give the proud what they deserve!^b

3How long, LORD, shall the wicked,

how long shall the wicked glory?^c

4How long will they mouth haughty speeches,

go on boasting, all these evildoers?^d

5They crush your people, LORD,

torment your very own.

6They kill the widow and alien;

the orphan they murder.^e

7They say, “The LORD does not see;

the God of Jacob takes no notice.”^f

8Understand, you stupid people!

You fools, when will you be wise?^g

9Does the one who shaped the ear not hear?

The one who formed the eye not see?^h

10Does the one who guides nations not rebuke?

The one who teaches man not have knowledge?

11The LORD knows the plans of man;

they are like a fleeting breath.ⁱ
