Ricochet

18 I cried out, “I am slipping!”
    but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me.
19 When doubts filled my mind,
    your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.

20 Can unjust leaders claim that God is on their side—
    leaders whose decrees permit injustice?
21 They gang up against the righteous
    and condemn the innocent to death.
22 But the Lord is my fortress;
    my God is the mighty rock where I hide.
23 God will turn the sins of evil people back on them.
    He will destroy them for their sins.
    The Lord our God will destroy them.

Psalm 94:18-23

It is a time of ricochet. a time of boomerang.

In The Passion Translation, verse 22 till 23 read as,

But I know that all their evil plans will boomerang back to them!

(Every evil plan of insect eating, lab-grown meat, climate crisis, coastal flooding, digital currency, pandemic crisis, LGBTQ agenda, death by vaccines)

Every plot they hatch will simply seal their own doom!

For you, my God, you will destroy them, giving them what they deserve.

For you are my true Tower of Strength,

my Safe Place, my Hideout, and my true Shelter.

Let there be removals, collapse, dismantling of the wicked system.

Because the first verse of Psalm 94:1-4 NLT read as.

O Lord, the God of vengeance,
    O God of vengeance, let your glorious justice shine forth!
Arise, O Judge of the earth.
    Give the proud what they deserve.
How long, O Lord?
    How long will the wicked be allowed to gloat?
How long will they speak with arrogance?
    How long will these evil people boast?
