Psalms 94
1 O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongs, thou God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth.
God is Lord of veniauncis; God of veniauncis dide freli.
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth. Render to the proud a recompense.
Be thou enhaunsid that demest the erthe; yelde thou yeldinge to proude men.
3 Jehovah, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
Lord, hou longe synneris; hou longe schulen synneris haue glorie?
4 They prate, they speak arrogantly. All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.
Thei schulen telle out, and schulen speke wickidnesse; alle men schulen speke that worchen vnriytfulnesse.
5 They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thy heritage.
Lord, thei han maad lowe thi puple; and thei han disesid thin eritage.
6 They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless.
Thei killiden a widowe and a comelyng; and thei han slayn fadirles children and modirles.
7 And they say, Jehovah will not see, nor will the God of Jacob consider.
And thei seiden, The Lord schal not se; and God of Jacob schal not vndurstonde.
8 Consider, ye brutish among the people, and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
Ye vnwise men in the puple, vndirstonde; and, ye foolis, lerne sum tyme.
9 He who planted the ear, shall he not hear? He who formed the eye, shall he not see?
Schal not he here, that plauntide the eere; ethere biholdith not he, that made the iye?
10 He who chastises the nations, shall he not correct, even he who teaches man knowledge?
Schal not he repreue, that chastisith folkis; which techith man kunnyng?
11 Jehovah knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
The Lord knowith the thouytis of men; that tho ben veyne.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou chasten, O Jehovah, and teach out of thy law,
Blessid is the man, whom thou, Lord, hast lerned; and hast tauyt him of thi lawe.
13 that thou may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for a wicked man.
That thou aswage hym fro yuele daies; til a diche be diggid to the synner.
14 For Jehovah will not cast off his people, nor will he forsake his inheritance.
For the Lord schal not putte awei his puple; and he schal not forsake his eritage.
15 For judgment shall return to righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
Til riytfulnesse be turned in to dom; and who ben niy it, alle that ben of riytful herte.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
Who schal rise with me ayens mysdoeris; ether who schal stonde with me ayens hem that worchen wickidnesse?
17 Unless Jehovah had been my help, my soul would have soon dwelt in silence.
No but for the Lord helpide me; almest my soule hadde dwellid in helle.
18 When I said, My foot slips, thy loving kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
If Y seide, My foot was stirid; Lord, thi merci helpide me.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
Aftir the multitude of my sorewis in myn herte; thi coumfortis maden glad my soule.
20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee, which frames mischief by statute?
Whether the seete of wickidnesse cleueth to thee; that makist trauel in comaundement?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of a righteous man, and condemn innocent blood.
Thei schulen take ayens the soule of a iust man; and thei schulen condempne innocent blood.
22 But Jehovah has been my high tower, and my God the rock of my refuge.
And the Lord was maad to me in to refuyt; and my God was maad in to the help of myn hope.
23 And he has brought upon them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Jehovah our God will cut them off.
And he schal yelde to hem the wickidnesse of hem; and in the malice of hem he schal lese hem, oure Lord God schal lese hem.
