☦ Orthodox Christianity: Different versions of the same verse from Psalm 94 [View all]

New International Version~
Can a corrupt throne be allied with you-- a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?

New Living Translation~
Can unjust leaders claim that God is on their side—leaders whose decrees permit injustice?

Good News Translation~
You have nothing to do with corrupt judges, who make injustice legal.

International Standard Version~
Will destructive national leaders, who plan wicked things through misuse of the Law, be allied with you?

New Century Version~
Crooked leaders cannot be your friends. They use the law to cause suffering.

Psalm 94:20-22
New Century Version~
20 Crooked leaders cannot be your friends. They use the law to cause suffering.

21 They join forces against people who do right and sentence to death the innocent.

22 But the Lord is my defender;
my God is the rock of my protection.
