Psalms 94:10-23

¹⁰He that chastiseth nations, shall not he punish? He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?

¹¹The LORD knoweth the thoughts of men, That they are vanity.

¹²Happy the man, O LORD! whom thou correctest, Whom by thy teaching thou makest wise;

¹³To give him peace in the days of adversity, Until a pit be digged for the wicked!

¹⁴For the LORD will not forsake his people, Nor abandon his own inheritance.

¹⁵For judgment shall return to justice, And all the upright in heart shall follow it.

¹⁶Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evil-doers?

¹⁷If the LORD had not been my help, I had well nigh dwelt in the land of silence.

¹⁸When I think that my foot is slipping, Thy goodness, O LORD! holdeth me up.

¹⁹In the multitude of anxieties within me, Thy consolations revive my soul.

²⁰Shall with thee be allied the throne of iniquity, Which deviseth mischief against law?

²¹They band together against the life of the righteous, And condemn innocent blood.

²²But the LORD is my fortress, And my God the rock of my refuge.

²³He will bring upon them their own iniquity; Yea, through their own wickedness he will cut them off; Yea, the LORD, our God, will cut them off.
