Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Psalm 94
⁴ How long will they speak with arrogance? How long will these evil people boast?
⁵ They crush your people, LORD, hurting those you claim as your own.
⁶ They kill widows and foreigners and murder orphans.
⁷ “The LORD isn’t looking,” they say, “and besides, the God of Israel doesn’t care.”
⁸ Think again, you fools! When will you finally catch on?
⁹ Is he deaf—the one who made your ears? Is he blind—the one who formed your eyes?
¹⁰ He punishes the nations—won’t he also punish you? He knows everything—doesn’t he also know what you are doing?
¹¹ The LORD knows people’s thoughts; he knows they are worthless!
¹² Joyful are those you discipline, LORD, those you teach with your instructions.
¹³ You give them relief from troubled times until a pit is dug to capture the wicked.
¹⁴ The LORD will not reject his people; he will not abandon his special possession.
