Psalms 94:2-12

²Stand up, judge of the earth, and pay back those who are proud what they deserve.

³How long, Lord? How long will the wicked celebrate in triumph?

⁴How long will you let them pour out their arrogant words? How long will these evil people go on boasting?

⁵Lord, they crush your people; they oppress those you call your own.

⁶They kill widows and foreigners; they murder orphans.

⁷They say, “The Lord can't see what we're doing. Israel's God doesn't pay any attention to us.”

⁸Take another look, you stupid people! Fools—when will you ever get the point?

⁹Do you think the creator of the ear can't hear? Do you think the maker of the eye can't see?

¹⁰Do you think that the one who punishes nations won't punish you too? Do you think that the one who teaches human beings knowledge doesn't know anything?

¹¹The Lord knows the thoughts of human beings—he knows they are pointless.

¹²Those you discipline are happy, Lord; those you teach from your Law.
