Psalms 94:12-20

¹²Happy is the man whom thou admonisheth, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law:

¹³That thou mayest grant him repose from the days of evil, until the pot be dug for the wicked.

¹⁴For the Lord will not cast off his people, and his inheritance will he not forsake.

¹⁵For unto righteousness will justice return; and it shall be followed by all the upright in heart.

¹⁶Who will rise up for me against evil-doers? or who will stand forward for me against the workers of wickedness?

¹⁷Unless the Lord had been a help unto me, but a little would have been wanting that my soul had dwelt in the silence of death.

¹⁸When I said, My foot hath slipped: thy kindness, O Lord, sustained me.

¹⁹In the multitude of my painful thoughts within me, thy consolations delight my soul.

²⁰Can there be associated with thee the throne of destructive wickedness, which frameth mischief as a law?
