God's Eternal Reign
93
The
Lord
reigns! He is robed in majesty;
The
Lord
is robed, enveloped in strength.
The world is firmly established;
it cannot be shaken.
2
Your throne has been established
from the beginning;
You are from eternity.
3
The floods have lifted up,
Lord
,
the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their pounding waves.
4
Greater than the roar of many waters —
the mighty breakers of the sea —
the
Lord
on high is majestic.

The Just Judge
94
Lord
, God of vengeance —
God of vengeance, appear.
2
Rise up, Judge of the earth;
repay the proud what they deserve.
3
Lord
, how long will the wicked —
how long will the wicked gloat?
Lord
, God of vengeance —
God of vengeance, appear.
2
Rise up, Judge of the earth;
repay the proud what they deserve.
3
Lord
, how long will the wicked —
how long will the wicked gloat?
4
They pour out arrogant words;
all the evildoers boast.
5
Lord
, they crush Your people;
they afflict Your heritage.
6
They kill the widow and the foreigner
and murder the fatherless.
7
They say, “The
Lord
doesn't see it.
The God of Jacob doesn't pay attention.”

8
Pay attention, you stupid people!
Fools, when will you be wise?
9
Can the One who shaped the ear not hear,
the One who formed the eye not see?
10
The One who instructs nations,
the One who teaches man knowledge —
does He not discipline?
11
The
Lord
knows man's thoughts;
they are meaningless.

12
Lord
, happy is the man You discipline
and teach from Your law
13
to give him relief from troubled times
until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14
The
Lord
will not forsake His people
or abandon His heritage,
15
for justice will again be righteous,
and all the upright in heart will follow it.

16
Who stands up for me against the wicked?
Who takes a stand for me against evildoers?
17
If the
Lord
had not been my helper,
I would soon rest in the silence of death.
18
If I say, “My foot is slipping,”
Your faithful love will support me,
Lord
.

When I am filled with cares,
Your comfort brings me joy.

20
Can a corrupt throne —
one that creates trouble by law —
become Your ally?
21
They band together against the life of the righteous
and condemn the innocent to death.
22
But the
Lord
is my refuge;
my God is the rock of my protection.
23
He will pay them back for their sins
and destroy them for their evil.
The
Lord
our God will destroy them.

Today, if you hear His voice:
8
Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah,
as on that day at Massah in the wilderness
9
where your fathers tested Me;
they tried Me, though they had seen what I did.
10
For 40 years I was disgusted with that generation;
I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray;
they do not know My ways.”
11
So I swore in My anger,
“They will not enter My rest.”
