A wise advocate points from corrupt wealthy officials toward poor families and an approaching assembly of judges

Psalm 94

Brenton Septuagint Translation
Chapter overview
Psalm 94 asks the judge of the earth to answer arrogant oppressors who exploit widows, immigrants, and orphans. Correction gives wisdom, loyal love supports anxious hearts, and corrupt power cannot ultimately define justice.

About Psalms: book summary and outline →

1The praise of a Song by David. Come, let us exult in the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to God our Saviour.
2Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
3For the Lord is a great God, and a great king over all gods: for the Lord will not cast off his people.
4For the ends of the earth are in his hands; and the heights of the mountains are his.
5For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
6Come, let us worship and fall down before him; and weep before the Lord that made us.
7For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
8To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, according to the day of irritation in the wilderness:
9where your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works.
10Forty years was I grieved with this generation, and said, They do always err in their heart, and they have not known my ways.
11So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.
