Psalm 94:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 O Lord, how long will the wicked,
how long will the wicked be triumphant?[a]
4 [b]Their mouths pour forth their arrogant words
as these evildoers never cease to boast.
5 They crush your people, O Lord,
and they oppress your heritage.
Footnotes
- Psalm 94:3 How long . . . ?: see note on Ps 6:4.
- Psalm 94:4 Not only do the wicked hurl arrogant words, but they also attack God’s people, especially those to whom the Lord has promised his protection: the widows, orphans, and aliens (see Ex 22:21; Deut 24:17; Isa 1:17; 10:2; Ezek 22:7). They no longer believe that God is concerned with their activities or demands an accounting from them (see Ps 10:2-11).
