King James Bible 1611
| 94:1 | O Lord God, to whome vengeance belongeth: O God to whome vengeance belongeth, shew thy selfe. |
| 94:2 | Lift vp thy selfe, thou iudge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. |
| 94:3 | Lord, how long shall the wicked? how long shall the wicked triumph? |
| 94:4 | How long shal they vtter, and speake hard things? and all the workers of iniquitie boast themselues? |
| 94:5 | They breake in pieces thy people, O Lord: and afflict thine heritage. |
| 94:6 | They slay the widowe and the stranger: and murder the fatherlesse. |
| 94:7 | Yet they say, The Lord shall not see: neither shall the God of Iacob regard it. |
| 94:8 | Understand, yee brutish among the people: and ye fooles, when will ye be wise? |
| 94:9 | He that planted the eare, shall he not heare? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? |
| 94:10 | He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? hee that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? |
| 94:11 | The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man: that they are vanitie. |
| 94:12 | Blessed is the man whome thou chastenest, O Lord: and teachest him out of thy Law: |
| 94:13 | That thou mayest giue him rest from the dayes of aduersitie: vntill the pit be digged for the wicked. |
| 94:14 | For the Lord will not cast off his people: neither will he forsake his inheritance. |
| 94:15 | But iudgement shall returne vnto righteousnesse: and all the vpright in heart shall follow it. |
| 94:16 | Who will rise vp for mee against the euill doers? or who will stand vp for me against the workers of iniquitie? |
| 94:17 | Unlesse the Lord had bene my helpe: my soule had almost dwelt in silence. |
| 94:18 | When I said, My foote slippeth: thy mercie, O Lord, held me vp. |
| 94:19 | In the multitude of my thoughts within me, thy comforts delight my soule. |
| 94:20 | Shal the throne of iniquitie haue fellowship with thee: which frameth mischiefe by a lawe? |
| 94:21 | They gather themselues together against the soule of the righteous: and condemne the innocent blood. |
| 94:22 | But the Lord is my defence: and my God is the rocke of my refuge. |
| 94:23 | And hee shall bring vpon them their owne iniquitie, and shall cut them off in their owne wickednesse: yea the Lord our God shall cut them off. |
King James Bible 1611
The commissioning of the King James Bible took place at a conference at the Hampton Court Palace in London England in 1604. When King James came to the throne he wanted unity and stability in the church and state, but was well aware that the diversity of his constituents had to be considered. There were the Papists who longed for the English church to return to the Roman Catholic fold and the Latin Vulgate. There were Puritans, loyal to the crown but wanting even more distance from Rome. The Puritans used the Geneva Bible which contained footnotes that the king regarded as seditious. The Traditionalists made up of Bishops of the Anglican Church wanted to retain the Bishops Bible.
The king commissioned a new English translation to be made by over fifty scholars representing the Puritans and Traditionalists. They took into consideration: the Tyndale New Testament, the Matthews Bible, the Great Bible and the Geneva Bible. The great revision of the Bible had begun. From 1605 to 1606 the scholars engaged in private research. From 1607 to 1609 the work was assembled. In 1610 the work went to press, and in 1611 the first of the huge (16 inch tall) pulpit folios known today as "The 1611 King James Bible" came off the printing press.
