Sunday---Prayinig Vengeance For Our Times---Psalm 94:1-7, 20-23

@ DESIRING GOD---THE BLISSFUL AND TRIVIAL LIFE

 

PSALM 94, An Imprecatory Prayer For Vengeance

The Lord is a God who avenges.
    O God who avenges, shine forth.
Rise up, Judge of the earth;
    pay back to the proud what they deserve.
How long, Lord, will the wicked,
    how long will the wicked be jubilant?

They pour out arrogant words;
    all the evildoers are full of boasting.
They crush your people, Lord;
    they oppress your inheritance.
They slay the widow and the foreigner;
    they murder the fatherless.
They say, “The Lord does not see;
    the God of Jacob takes no notice.”Can a corrupt throne be allied with you—
    a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?

 
21 The wicked rulers band together against the righteous
    and condemn the innocent to death.
22 But the Lord has become my fortress,
    and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
23 He will repay them for their sins
    and destroy them for their wickedness;
    the Lord our God will destroy them.
