Psalm 94

Psalm 94

1 O LORD, the God who avenges,
O God who avenges, shine forth.

2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth;
pay back to the proud what they deserve.

3 How long will the wicked, O LORD,
how long will the wicked be jubilant?

4 They pour out arrogant words;
all the evildoers are full of boasting.

5 They crush your people, O LORD;
they oppress your inheritance.

6 They slay the widow and the alien;
they murder the fatherless.

7 They say, "The LORD does not see;
the God of Jacob pays no heed."

8 Take heed, you senseless ones among the people;
you fools, when will you become wise?

9 Does he who implanted the ear not hear?
Does he who formed the eye not see?

10 Does he who disciplines nations not punish?
Does he who teaches man lack knowledge?

11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man;
he knows that they are futile.

12 Blessed is the man you discipline, O LORD,
the man you teach from your law;

13 you grant him relief from days of trouble,
till a pit is dug for the wicked.

14 For the LORD will not reject his people;
he will never forsake his inheritance.

15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,
and all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked?
Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?

17 Unless the LORD had given me help,
I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.

18 When I said, "My foot is slipping,"
your love, O LORD, supported me.

19 When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought joy to my soul.

20 Can a corrupt throne be allied with you—
one that brings on misery by its decrees?

21 They band together against the righteous
and condemn the innocent to death.

22 But the LORD has become my fortress,
and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.

23 He will repay them for their sins
and destroy them for their wickedness;
the LORD our God will destroy them.

Eunice: How true is v17. God Jesus, you hv reminded me today that is you have not given me help, if you have not carried me through, I would hv just "died". God I thank you today, that you will not reject me, and you have granted me relief in my days of trouble. God, your will be done, not mine. that you become my fortress, the rock in whom i seek refuge! Lord Jesus, teach me from your law, support me from your love.. Love ya God! =)

Chin Ling: I just want to say, God is so good.

Crow: Hello hello... Just want to claim v18 and 19 for my dept... that the Lord's love will indeed be our support... and He will bring Joy to our soul.... it's a tough period, but i know the Lord works for the good of those who love Him.. Lord thank u

Pam: I claimed v18-19 into my life. Thank God for loving me when I am unlovely. Thank you for being there when I need a listening ear. AMEN!

Aileen: God is the great judge.. just like in ps 23 " he prepared a table before me, in the presence of my enemies." Think in life there will always be some friends and foes, but the lord is merciful and protects

Sara: I find that this psalm brings peace to my soul at my work place, where unjustice or unfairness is not for us to avenge or to judge, for it is upon the Lord's rule, not mine. And where i find my foot slipping, my Lord will support me. When i find myself anxious, the Lord brings consolation to my soul. He will stand up for me, and hey, if He is on my side, why should i fear anything?

Dellia: The Lord watches over me and He's with me...just like what I wrote in Psalm 93...well...what can mere men do to me!!! =) I have God with me!
