Psalm 94

¹O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
²Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
³Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
⁴How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
⁵They break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and afflict thine heritage.
⁶They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
⁷Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
⁸Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
⁹He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
¹⁰He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
¹¹The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
¹²Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law;
¹³That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
¹⁴For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
¹⁵But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
¹⁶Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
¹⁷Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
¹⁸When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.
¹⁹In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
²⁰Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
²¹They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
²²But the Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
²³And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.

¹³And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.
¹⁴And Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth, what the Lord saith unto me, that will I speak.
¹⁵So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
¹⁶And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the Lord?
¹⁷And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.
¹⁸And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?
¹⁹And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
²⁰And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
²¹And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him.
²²And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persude him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
²³Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.
²⁴But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak unto thee?
²⁵And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
²⁶And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;
²⁷And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.
²⁸And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.

1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
²Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
³As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
⁴Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
⁵Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
⁶From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
⁷Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
⁸But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
⁹Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
¹⁰For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
¹¹According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
