1O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongs— O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth! ✦ 2Rise up, O Judge of the earth; Render punishment to the proud. ✦ 3Lord, how long will the wicked, How long will the wicked triumph? ✦ 4They utter speech, and speak insolent things; All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves. ✦ 5They break in pieces Your people, O Lord, And afflict Your heritage. ✦ 6They slay the widow and the stranger, And murder the fatherless. ✦ 7Yet they say, “The Lord does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob understand.” ✦ 8Understand, you senseless among the people; And you fools, when will you be wise? ✦ 9He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see? ✦ 10He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge? ✦ 11The Lord knows the thoughts of man, That they are futile. ✦ 12Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord, And teach out of Your law, ✦ 13That You may give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked. ✦ 14For the Lord will not cast off His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance. ✦ 15But judgment will return to righteousness, And all the upright in heart will follow it. ✦ 16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? ✦ 17Unless the Lord had been my help, My soul would soon have settled in silence. ✦ 18If I say, “My foot slips,” Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up. ✦ 19In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul. ✦ 20Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, Have fellowship with You? ✦ 21They gather together against the life of the righteous, And condemn innocent blood. ✦ 22But the Lord has been my defense, And my God the rock of my refuge. ✦ 23He has brought on them their own iniquity, And shall cut them off in their own wickedness; 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.
