Psalms 94
1 A Psalm of David himself. The Fourth Sabbath. The Lord is the God of retribution. The God of retribution acts in order to deliver.
¡Oh Yavé, ʼEL vengador! ¡Oh ʼEL vengador, resplandece!
2 Lift yourself up, for you judge the earth. Repay the arrogant with retribution.
¡Levántate, oh Juez de la tierra, Da la recompensa a los soberbios!
3 How long will sinners, O Lord, how long will sinners glory?
¿Hasta cuándo los perversos, oh Yavé, Hasta cuándo se gozarán los perversos?
4 How long will they utter and speak iniquity? How long will all who work injustice speak out?
Parlotean insolencias, hablan arrogancias. Se jactan todos los que cometen perversidad.
5 They have humiliated your people, O Lord, and they have harassed your inheritance.
A tu pueblo quebrantan, oh Yavé. Oprimen a tu heredad.
6 They have executed the widow and the new arrival, and they have slaughtered the orphan.
Asesinan a la viuda y al extranjero, Y matan a los huérfanos.
7 And they have said, “The Lord will not see, nor will the God of Jacob understand.”
Y dicen: El YA no ve, Ni discierne el ʼElohim de Jacob.
8 Understand, you senseless ones among the people. And be wise at last, you foolish ones.
Entiendan ustedes, necios del pueblo. ¿Cuándo entenderán ustedes los fatuos?
9 He who formed the ear, will he not hear? And he who forged the eye, does he not look closely?
El que hizo el oído, ¿no escucha? El que formó el ojo, ¿no mira?
10 He who chastises nations, he who teaches man knowledge, will he not rebuke?
El que amonesta a las naciones, ¿no reprenderá? El que enseña al hombre el saber, ¿no sabrá?
11 The Lord knows the thoughts of men: that these are in vain.
Yavé conoce los pensamientos del hombre, Que son vanidad.
12 Blessed is the man whom you will instruct, O Lord. And you will teach him from your law.
¡Inmensamente feliz es el varón a quien Tú, oh YA, disciplinas, Y a quien Tú enseñas tu Ley!
13 So may you soothe him from the evil days, until a pit may be dug for sinners.
Para darle descanso en los días de adversidad Mientras se cava una fosa para los perversos.
14 For the Lord will not drive away his people, and he will not abandon his inheritance,
Porque Yavé no abandonará a su pueblo, Ni desamparará a su heredad.
15 even until the time when justice is being converted into judgment, and when those who are close to justice are all those who are upright of heart.
Porque el juicio volverá a ser justo, Y todos los rectos de corazón lo seguirán.
16 Who will rise up with me against the malignant? Or who will stand with me against the workers of iniquity?
¿Quién se levantará por mí contra los malhechores? ¿Quién se mantendrá en pie por mí contra los que practican perversidad?
17 Except that the Lord assisted me, my soul almost would have dwelt in Hell. (questioned)
Si Yavé no me ayuda, Pronto mi alma moraría en el silencio.
18 If ever I said, “My foot is slipping,” then your mercy, O Lord, assisted me.
Si yo digo: ¡Mi pie resbala! Tu misericordia, oh Yavé, me sostendrá.
19 According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, your consolations have given joy to my soul.
Cuando mis inquietudes se multiplican dentro de mí, Tus consolaciones deleitan mi alma.
20 Does the seat of iniquity adhere to you, you who contrive hardship within a commandment?
¿Se aliará contigo el trono de iniquidad Que por medio de decretos cometa agravios?
21 They will hunt down the soul of the just, and they will condemn innocent blood.
Conspiran juntos contra la vida del justo Y condenan a muerte al inocente.
22 And the Lord has been made into a refuge for me, and my God into the assistance of my hope.
Pero Yavé fue mi Fortaleza, Y mi ʼElohim, la Roca de mi refugio.
23 And he will repay them their iniquity, and he will destroy them in their malice. The Lord our God will utterly destroy them.
Él devolverá sobre ellos su iniquidad Y los destruirá en su maldad. Yavé nuestro ʼElohim los destruirá.
