The Judge Stands Tall | A Blues Song Inspired by Psalm 94

** Psalm 94 is a cry for justice, likely written during a time of oppression in ancient Israel. While the exact author is unknown, it is traditionally attributed to an anonymous psalmist calling upon Yahweh to rise up as the righteous Judge of the earth. This psalm speaks to the suffering of the righteous under the rule of corrupt leaders and evildoers, pleading for God to intervene. It is a bold declaration that the Lord sees, hears, and will bring justice in His perfect time.

The psalmist reminds the wicked that the God who created ears and eyes is not blind or deaf to their actions. He warns them that their power is temporary, and the Lord will not abandon His people. This song, "The Judge Stands Tall," brings the spirit of Psalm 94 into the raw, soul-stirring power of the blues, echoing the timeless cry for justice.

** Psalm 94 (WEB)

1 Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs,
you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.
2 Rise up, you judge of the earth.
Pay back the proud what they deserve.
3 Yahweh, how long will the wicked,
how long will the wicked triumph?
4 They pour out arrogant words.
All the evildoers boast.
5 They break your people in pieces, Yahweh,
and afflict your heritage.
6 They kill the widow and the alien,
and murder the fatherless.
7 They say, “Yah will not see,
neither will Jacob’s God consider.”

8 Consider, you senseless among the people;
you fools, when will you be wise?
9 He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear?
He who formed the eye, won’t he see?
10 He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish?
He who teaches man knows.
11 Yahweh knows the thoughts of man,
that they are futile.

12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah,
and teach out of your law;
13 that you may give him rest from the days of adversity,
until the pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For Yahweh won’t reject his people,
neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 For judgment will return to righteousness.
All the upright in heart shall follow it.

16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked?
Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?
17 Unless Yahweh had been my help,
my soul would have soon lived in silence.
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping!”
your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me,
your comforts delight my soul.

20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you,
which brings about mischief by statute?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,
and condemn the innocent blood.
22 But Yahweh has been my high tower,
my God, the rock of my refuge.
23 He has brought on them their own iniquity,
and will cut them off in their own wickedness.
Yahweh, our God, will cut them off.

** Lyrics to Psalm 94 "The Judge Stands Tall"

[Verse 1]
Yahweh, the God of vengeance, shine on through,
(Rise up, Lord, and make it true.)
The proud keep boasting, speakin’ out bold,
(But their judgment’s comin’—just like You told.)

[Verse 2]
How long, O Lord, will the wicked reign?
(They crush the helpless, they bring the pain.)
Widows cry, the fatherless bleed,
(But You see it all, You take heed.)

[Chorus]
Shall the throne of wickedness stand with Thee?
(Bringin’ mischief, by their decree?)
No, my God’s my fortress strong!
(He lifts the weak, rights the wrong!)

[Verse 3]
He who made the ear—don’t you think He hears?
(He who shaped the eye—He sees your tears.)
The Lord won’t forsake the ones He called,
(But the proud will stumble, the strong will fall.)

[Bridge]
My foot was slippin’, my soul felt small,
(But Your love, O Lord, it held me tall.)
In the storm of thoughts, Your comfort came,
(Like a fire burnin’, callin’ my name.)

[Chorus]
Shall the throne of wickedness stand with Thee?
(Bringin’ mischief, by their decree?)
No, my God’s my fortress strong!
(He lifts the weak, rights the wrong!)

[Outro]
He has brought on them their wicked schemes,
(The Judge stands tall, He hears the screams.)
Yahweh, my rock, my refuge high,
(He lifts His hand—watch the wicked fly.)
