Psalms 94:2-5
Psalms 94:1-7 The Message (MSG)
GOD, put an end to evil; avenging God, show your colors! Judge of the earth, take your stand; throw the book at the arrogant. GOD, the wicked get away with murder— how long will you let this go on? They brag and boast and crow about their crimes! They walk all over your people, GOD, exploit and abuse your precious people. They take out anyone who gets in their way; if they can’t use them, they kill them. They think, “GOD isn’t looking, Jacob’s God is out to lunch.”
Psalms 94:2-5 King James Version (KJV)
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: Render a reward to the proud. LORD, how long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph? How long shall they utter and speak hard things? And all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, And afflict thine heritage.
Psalms 94:2-5 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Rise up, O Judge of the earth, Render recompense to the proud. How long shall the wicked, O LORD, How long shall the wicked exult? They pour forth words, they speak arrogantly; All who do wickedness vaunt themselves. They crush Your people, O LORD, And afflict Your heritage.
Psalms 94:2-5 New Century Version (NCV)
Rise up, Judge of the earth, and give the proud what they deserve. How long will the wicked be happy? How long, LORD? They are full of proud words; those who do evil brag about what they have done. LORD, they crush your people and make your children suffer.
Psalms 94:2-5 American Standard Version (ASV)
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: Render to the proud their desert. Jehovah, how long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph? They prate, they speak arrogantly: All the workers of iniquity boast themselves. They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah, And afflict thy heritage.
Psalms 94:2-5 New International Version (NIV)
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.
Psalms 94:2-5 New King James Version (NKJV)
Rise up, O Judge of the earth; Render punishment to the proud. LORD, how long will the wicked, How long will the wicked triumph? They utter speech, and speak insolent things; All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves. They break in pieces Your people, O LORD, And afflict Your heritage.
Psalms 94:2-5 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Rise up, O Judge of the earth; Give to the proud a fitting compensation. O LORD, how long will the wicked, How long will the wicked rejoice in triumph? They pour out words, speaking arrogant things; All who do evil boast proudly. [Jude 14, 15] They crush Your people, O LORD, And afflict and abuse Your heritage.
Psalms 94:2-5 New Living Translation (NLT)
Arise, O Judge of the earth. Give the proud what they deserve. How long, O LORD? How long will the wicked be allowed to gloat? How long will they speak with arrogance? How long will these evil people boast? They crush your people, LORD, hurting those you claim as your own.
Psalms 94:2-5 The Passion Translation (TPT)
It’s time to arise as judge of all the earth; arise to punish the proud with the penalty they deserve! How much longer will you sit back and watch the wicked triumph in their evil, boasting in all that is wrong? Listen to them bragging among themselves, big in their own eyes, all because of the crimes they’ve committed against your people! See how they’re crushing those who love you, God, cruelly oppressing those who belong to you.
Psalms 94:2-5 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)
