Psalm 94: It Won’t Be Long

$0.00

When a Psalm starts with, “The Lord is a God who avenges,” you know it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Indeed, Psalm 94 does not disappoint. It is a tirade against the proud and powerful, decrying their lies and schemes against the defenseless. As this Psalm points out, God sees all. We don’t know when it will happen, but God, our Refuge, will set things right. We pray with the Psalmist that it won’t be long.

Oh, it won’t be long.
It won’t be long.
It won’t be long.
No, it won’t be long at all.

1. Rise up, O God, and show your power
to shut their filthy, snickering mouths.

2. They crush the weak beneath their feet.
They laugh and say that you won’t see.

3. But you, who fashioned ear and eye,
know every plan of humankind.

4. O God, do not forget your own.
We’re almost down, rise up, once more!

5. From misery’s chains we’re free at last.
Corrupted kingdoms will collapse.

6. For every wrong will be made right.
The sun will rise and scatter night.
