1O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. ✦ 2Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. ✦ 3LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? ✦ 4How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? ✦ 5They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. ✦ 6They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. ✦ 7Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. ✦ 8Understand, 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 heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? ✦ 11The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. ✦ 12Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law; ✦ 13That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. ✦ 14For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. ✦ 15But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. ✦ 16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? ✦ 17Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. ✦ 18When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. ✦ 19In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. ✦ 20Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? ✦ 21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. ✦ 22But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. ✦ 23And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off. ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 94 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
