94:1 O Lord <03068>, the God <0410> who avenges <05360>! O God <0410> who avenges <05360>, reveal <03313> your splendor <03313>! 94:2 Rise up <05375>, O judge <08199> of the earth <0776>! Pay back <07725> the proud <01343>! 94:3 O Lord <03068>, how <04970> long <05704> will the wicked <07563>, how <04970> long <05704> will the wicked <07563> celebrate <05937>? 94:4 They spew <05042> out threats and speak <01696> defiantly <06277>; all <03605> the evildoers <06466> boast <0205>. 94:5 O Lord <03068>, they crush <01792> your people <05971>; they oppress <06031> the nation that belongs to you <05159>. 94:6 They kill <02026> the widow <0490> and the one residing outside his native land <01616>, and they murder <07523> the fatherless <03490>. 94:7 Then they say <0559>, “The Lord <03050> does not <03808> see <07200> this; the God <0430> of Jacob <03290> does not <03808> take notice <0995> of it.” 94:8 Take notice <0995> of this, you ignorant <01197> people <05971>! You fools <03684>, when <04970> will you ever understand <07919>? 94:9 Does the one who makes <05193> the human ear <0241> not <03808> hear <08085>? Does the one who forms <03335> the human eye <05869> not <03808> see <05027>? 94:10 Does the one who disciplines <03256> the nations <01471> not <03808> punish <03198>? He is the one who imparts <03925> knowledge <01847> to human beings <0120>! 94:11 The Lord <03068> knows <03045> that <03588> peoples <0120>’ thoughts <04284> are morally bankrupt <01892>. 94:12 How blessed <0835> is the one <01397> whom <0834> you instruct <03256>, O Lord <03050>, the one whom you teach <03925> from your law <08451>, 94:13 in order to protect <03738> him from times <03117> of trouble <07451>, until <05704> the wicked <07563> are destroyed <07845>. 94:14 Certainly <03588> the Lord <03068> does not <03808> forsake <05203> his people <05971>; he does not <03808> abandon <05800> the nation that belongs to him <05159>.

• Psalms 94: How Long Will the Wicked Be Jubilant?

  

• [Psa 94:1] O Lord, Thou Judge

  O Lord, Thou Judge of all the earth, To Whom all vengeance doth belong, Arise and show Thy glory forth, Requite the proud, condemn the wrong. How long, O Lord, in boastful pride Shall wicked men triumphant stand? How long shall they afflict thy saints And scorn Thy wrath, Thy dreadful hand? The widow and the fatherless They slay, and helpless strangers smite; The faithful God they do not fear, They say the Lord will not requite. Be wise, ye fools and brutish men; Shall not He see Who formed the eye? Shall not He hear Who formed the ear, And judge, who reigneth, God most high? The Lord will judge in righteousness, From Him all truth and knowledge flow; The foolish thoughts of wicked men, How vain they are the Lord doth know. That man is blest whom Thou, O Lord, With chastening hand dost teach Thy will, For in the day when sinners fall That man in peace abideth still. The Lord will not cast off His own, Nor His inheritance forsake; Just judgment shall at length prevail, And upright hearts shall courage take. Who will arise for my defense Against the wicked in the land? Against iniquity and wrong What main for me will valiant stand? Unless the Lord had been my Help, My life had quickly passed away; But when my foot had almost slipped, O Lord, Thy mercy was my stay. Amid the doubts that fill my mind Thy comforts, Lord, bring joy to me; Can wickedness, though throned in might, Have fellowship, O Lord, with Thee? The wicked, in their might arrayed, Against the righteous join their power, But to the Lord I flee for help, He is my Refuge and my Tower. Our God, the Refuge of His saints, Will fight against iniquity; Avenger of the innocent The Lord omnipotent will be.

• Is Trouble Sent As a Punishment?
  The Bible does not teach that all trouble comes from God as a punishment. It recognizes the fact that trouble is in the world, and, while it has some very definite things to say about it, it does not attempt to give a complet...
