Psalm 94:1-23
The Lord knows the thoughts of man; he knows that they are futile.
Blessed is the man you discipline, O Lord, the man you teach from your law; you grant him relief from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked. For the Lord will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance.
They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death, But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge. He will repay for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the Lord our God will destroy them.
God's justice
The psalmist calls on God as Judge to punish the wicked. How fully do these criminals deserve God's judgment for their oppression of God's people and deliberate flouting of his law. How stupid they are to think they can hood wink God. But, though the thought of vengeance is never far away, the psalmist's spirits lift as he thinks of God.
Why?
The Lord who avenges, instead of man. Men are futile and fool for they are boast and do not know God.
Blessed is the man God discipline, let us relief from days of trouble. Sometime God gives suffering to us as discipline.
God is my Lord, my shepherd, he will not reject his people, and he will never forsake his inheritance. This is the faith to the Lord.
God will repay for people's sins and destroy them for their wickedness. Do not envy them, or complain about it.
How?
Praise the Lord and give thanks to the Lord! God who avenges!
