Read the chapter

1Lord, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth! ✦ 2Rise up, Judge of the earth, Pay back retribution to the proud. ✦ 3How long, Lord, shall the wicked— How long shall the wicked triumph? ✦ 4They pour out words, they speak arrogantly; All who do injustice boast. ✦ 5They crush Your people, Lord, And afflict Your inheritance. ✦ 6They kill the widow and the stranger And murder the orphans. ✦ 7They have said, “The Lord does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob perceive.” ✦ 8¶Pay attention, you stupid ones among the people; And when will you understand, foolish ones? ✦ 9He who planted the ear, does He not hear? Or He who formed the eye, does He not see? ✦ 10He who disciplines the nations, will He not rebuke, He who teaches mankind knowledge? ✦ 11The Lord knows human thoughts, That they are mere breath. ✦ 12¶Blessed is the man whom You discipline, Lord, And whom You teach from Your Law, ✦ 13So that You may grant him relief from the days of adversity, Until a pit is dug for the wicked. ✦ 14For the Lord will not abandon His people, Nor will He abandon His inheritance. ✦ 15For judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart will follow it. ✦ 16Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against those who do injustice? ✦ 17¶If the Lord had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in the land of silence. ✦ 18If I should say, “My foot has slipped,” Your faithfulness, Lord, will support me. ✦ 19When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your comfort delights my soul. ✦ 20Can a throne of destruction be allied with You, One which devises mischief by decree? ✦ 21They band themselves together against the life of the righteous And condemn the innocent to death. ✦ 22But the Lord has been my refuge, And my God the rock of my refuge. ✦ 23He has brought back their injustice upon them, And He will destroy them in their evil; The Lord our God will destroy them. ✦

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.
