The Lord Will Not Forsake His People
1O Lord, God of 94:1 Deut. 32:35, 41, 43; Isa. 35:4; Jer. 51:56; Nah. 1:2; Rom. 12:19vengeance,
O God of vengeance, 94:1 See Ps. 50:2shine forth!
294:2 See Ps. 7:6Rise up, O 94:2 See Ps. 58:11judge of the earth;
repay to the 94:2 Luke 1:51proud what they deserve!
3O Lord, 94:3 Rev. 6:10; See Ps. 74:10how long shall the wicked,
how long shall 94:3 [Job 20:5]the wicked exult?
4They pour out their 94:4 Ps. 31:18; 1 Sam. 2:3; [Jude 15] arrogant words;
all 94:4 Ps. 92:7, 9; 125:5the evildoers boast.
5They 94:5 [Prov. 22:22; Isa. 3:15]crush your people, O Lord,
and afflict your heritage.
6They kill 94:6 [Isa. 10:2]the widow and the sojourner,
and murder 94:6 [Isa. 10:2]the fatherless;
794:7 See Job 22:13and they say, “The Lord does not see;
the God of Jacob does not perceive.”

894:8 See Ps. 49:10Understand, O dullest of the people!
Fools, when will you be wise?
994:9 [Ex. 4:11; Prov. 20:12]He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?
10He who 94:10 [Job 12:23] disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke?
He who 94:10 See Job 35:11teaches man knowledge—
1194:11 Cited 1 Cor. 3:20the Lord—knows the thoughts of man,
that they are 94:11 [Ps. 30:5, 11]but a breath.94:11 Septuagint they are futile

1294:12 Prov. 3:11, 12; Heb. 12:5, 6; See Job 5:17Blessed is the man whom you 94:12 Deut. 8:5; 1 Cor. 11:32discipline, O Lord,
and whom you teach out of your law,
13to give him 94:13 Job 34:29rest from 94:13 Ps. 49:5days of trouble,
until 94:13 Ps. 55:23a pit is dug for the wicked.
1494:14 1 Sam. 12:22; Rom. 11:2For the Lord will not forsake his 94:14 Deut. 32:9people;
he will not abandon his 94:14 Deut. 32:9heritage;
15for 94:15 [Isa. 42:3] justice will return to the righteous,
and all the upright in heart will 94:15 1 Sam. 12:14; 1 Kgs. 14:8follow it.

1694:16 See Ps. 12:5Who rises up for me against the wicked?
Who stands up for me against evildoers?
1794:17 Ps. 124:1, 2If the Lord had not been my help,
my soul would soon have lived in the land of 94:17 See Ps. 31:17silence.
18When I thought, 94:18 Ps. 38:16; [Ps. 73:2] “My foot slips,”
your steadfast love, O Lord, 94:18 [Ps. 20:2]held me up.
19When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul.
20Can 94:20 [Amos 6:3] wicked rulers be allied with you,
those who frame94:20 Or fashion injustice by 94:20 Ps. 50:16; 58:2; Isa. 10:1statute?
21They 94:21 Matt. 27:1band together against the life of the righteous
and condemn 94:21 Matt. 27:4the innocent to death.94:21 Hebrew condemn innocent blood
22But the Lord has become my 94:22 See Ps. 9:9stronghold,
and my God 94:22 See Ps. 18:2the rock of my 94:22 See Ps. 14:6refuge.
23He will bring back on them 94:23 See Ps. 7:16; 34:21; [Prov. 2:22] their iniquity
and 94:23 [Ps. 92:9]wipe them out for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will wipe them out.
