Psalm 94 - Douy-Rheims Bible Challoner Revision

¹ Understand, ye senseless among the people: and, you fools, be wise at last.

² He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?

³ 0 He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: he that teacheth man knowledge?

⁴ 1 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, that they are vain.

⁵ 2 Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: and shalt teach him out of thy law.

⁶ 3 That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: till a pit be dug for the wicked.

⁷ 4 For the Lord will not cast off his people: neither will he forsake his own inheritance.

⁸ 5 Until justice be turned into judgment: and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.

⁹ 6 Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity?

¹⁰ 7 Unless the Lord had been my helper, my soul had almost dwelt in hell.

¹¹ 8 If I said: My foot is moved: thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.

¹² 9 According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, thy comforts have given joy to my soul.

¹³ 0 Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, who framest labour in commandment?

¹⁴ 1 They will hunt after the soul of the just, and will condemn innocent blood.

¹⁵ 2 But the Lord is my refuge: and my God the help of my hope.

¹⁶ 3 And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: the Lord our God will destroy them.

¹⁷ Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour.

¹⁸ Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.

¹⁹ For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

²⁰ For in his hand are all the ends of the earth: and the heights of the mountains are his.

²¹ For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.

²² Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us.

²³ For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
