Psalms 94:8-20

⁸Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye be wise?

⁹He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?

¹⁰He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct, Even he that teacheth man knowledge?

¹¹Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, That they are vanity.

¹²Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah, And teachest out of thy law;

¹³That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit be digged for the wicked.

¹⁴For Jehovah will not cast off his people, Neither will he forsake his inheritance.

¹⁵For judgment shall return unto righteousness; And all the upright in heart shall follow it.

¹⁶Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

¹⁷Unless Jehovah had been my help, My soul had soon dwelt in silence.

¹⁸When I said, My foot slippeth; Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up.

¹⁹In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul.

²⁰Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee, Which frameth mischief by statute?
