English Standard Version

The Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage.

Psalm 94:14

God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew.

Romans 11:2

Psalm 94 (English Standard Version)

11 the Lord—knows the thoughts of man,
that they are but a breath.
12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O Lord,
and whom you teach out of your law,
13 to give him rest from days of trouble,
until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not forsake his people;
he will not abandon his heritage;
15 for justice will return to the righteous,
and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16 Who rises up for me against the wicked?
Who stands up for me against evildoers?
17 If the Lord had not been my help,
my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.

Romans 11 (English Standard Version)

1 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel?
3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.”
4 But what is God's reply to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
5 So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.

The Lord will not give up on his people; he will not abandon his own.

Psalm 94:14

God has not rejected his chosen people.

Romans 11:2

Psalm 94 (Free Bible Version)

11 The Lord knows the thoughts of human beings—he knows they are pointless.
12 Those you discipline are happy, Lord; those you teach from your Law.
13 You give them peace in days of trouble, until a pit is dug to trap the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not give up on his people; he will not abandon his own.
15 Justice will once again be based on what is right; those who are sincere will support it.
16 Who came to my defense against the wicked; who stood up for me against those who do evil?
17 If the Lord hadn't helped me, I would have soon gone down into the silence of the grave.

Romans 11 (Free Bible Version)

1 But then I ask, “Has God rejected his people?” Of course not! I'm an Israelite myself, from the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God has not rejected his chosen people. Don't you recall what Scripture says about Elijah? How he complained about Israel to God, saying,
3 “Lord they've killed your prophets and destroyed your altars. I'm the only one left, and they're trying to kill me too!”
4 How did God answer him? “I still have seven thousand left who have not worshiped Baal.”
5 Today it's just the same: there are still some faithful people left, chosen by God's grace.
