Psalm 94:3

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

Lord, how long will the wicked have their fun? How much longer?

See the chapter Copy

These souls shouted in a loud voice, “Holy and true Lord, how long until you judge the people of the earth and punish them for killing us?”

They make fun of others and say cruel things about them. In their pride they make plans to hurt people.

God, you are my place of safety. Why have you turned me away? Why must I suffer this sadness that my enemies have brought me?

“Sword of the Lord, you have not stopped. How long will you keep fighting? Go back into your scabbard! Stop! Be still!

Lord, how long will this continue? Will you ignore us forever? Will your anger burn like a fire forever?

Lord God All-Powerful, when will you listen to our prayers? How long will you be angry with us?

Lord, will you be angry with us forever? Will your strong feelings continue to burn like a fire?

So they hanged Haman on the hanging post he had built for Mordecai. Then the king stopped being angry.

Esther said, “The man against us, our enemy, is this wicked Haman.” Then Haman was filled with terror before the king and queen.

Lord, I continue to ask for help. When will you listen to me? I cried to you about the violence, but you did nothing!
