Psalm 94 Lord Avenge Your People



Psallm 94 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

The Lord Implored to Avenge His People.

94 Lord, God of [a]vengeance,
God of [b]vengeance, [c]shine forth!
Rise up, O Judge of the earth,
Render recompense to the proud.
How long shall the wicked, O Lord,
How long shall the wicked exult?
They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly;
All who do wickedness vaunt themselves.
They crush Your people, O Lord,
And afflict Your heritage.
They slay the widow and the [d]stranger
And murder the orphans.
They have said, “[e]The Lord does not see,
Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed.”

Pay heed, you senseless among the people;
And when will you understand, stupid ones?
He who planted the ear, [f]does He not hear?
He who formed the eye, [g]does He not see?
10 He who [h]chastens the nations, will He not rebuke,
Even He who teaches man knowledge?
11 The Lord knows the thoughts of man,
[i]That they are a mere breath.

12 Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O [j]Lord,
And whom You teach out of Your law;
13 That You may grant him relief from the days of adversity,
Until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not abandon His people,
Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
15 For [k]judgment [l]will again be righteous,
And all the upright in heart [m]will follow it.
16 Who will stand up for me against evildoers?
Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness?

17 If the Lord had not been my help,
My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
18 If I should say, “My foot has slipped,”
Your lovingkindness, O Lord, will hold me up.
19 When my anxious thoughts [n]multiply within me,
Your consolations delight my soul.
20 Can a [o]throne of destruction be allied with You,
One which devises [p]mischief by decree?
21 They band themselves together against the [q]life of the righteous
And condemn [r]the innocent to death.
22 But the Lord has been my stronghold,
And my God the rock of my refuge.
23 He has brought back their wickedness upon them
And will [s]destroy them in their evil;
The Lord our God will [t]destroy them.

Greetings from Israel!

Greetings from Israel!

My good wife Laurie and I arrived last night and drove to Netanya on the Mediterranean Sea, about an hour north of Tel Aviv. We then head to Tiberias for three days at the Aliya Return Center (Chaim Malespin), a Shabbat evening with Richard and Carolyn Hyde, and then a trip north to the Golan. I promised Laurie I would take her to a very nice winery.

From there we drive up to Jerusalem! We will be there for 5 nights, spending time with our very good friends Nissim and Hadassah Lerner for the Israeli Independence Day celebrations, and their children's families.

During our stay in Jerusalem will be anticipated time with our shop owner friends on Ben Yehuda Street - Abraham Saiden and sons, daughter; plus dinner with Gary and Geri Jorde here from Montana; Israel Today magazine staff (thanks for the apartment stay!); Breaking Israel News/Israel365 Tuly Weisz; and more.

Thank you, Yeshua, for this time with Your chosen ones in their Promised Land. May Your connections and relationships become ours, as we come to support our good friends in this Land of Y'israel!

Ahava and shalom,

P.S. I left my laptop charger at home in my other black bag, so I hope to check in from time to time as I conserve power. But I have my iPhone 8, so the pictures will still come.
