Psalms 94
1 O God of vengeances, Jehovah, God of vengeances, shine forth;
O Lord God the auenger, O God the auenger, shewe thy selfe clearely.
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud.
Exalt thy selfe, O Iudge of the worlde, and render a reward to the proude.
3 How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph?
Lord how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 [How long] shall they utter [and] speak insolence — all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
They prate and speake fiercely: all the workers of iniquitie vaunt themselues.
5 They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance;
They smite downe thy people, O Lord, and trouble thine heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless,
They slay the widowe and the stranger, and murder the fatherlesse.
7 And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard [it].
Yet they say, The Lord shall not see: neither will the God of Iaakob regard it.
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
Vnderstande ye vnwise among the people: and ye fooles, when will ye be wise?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
Hee that planted the eare, shall hee not heare? or he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 He that instructeth the nations, shall not he correct — he that teacheth man knowledge?
Or he that chastiseth the nations, shall he not correct? hee that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not knowe?
11 Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
The Lord knoweth the thoughtes of man, that they are vanitie.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law;
Blessed is the man, whom thou chastisest, O Lord, and teachest him in thy Lawe,
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
That thou mayest giue him rest from the dayes of euill, whiles the pitte is digged for the wicked.
14 For Jehovah will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
Surely the Lord will not faile his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 For judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
For iudgement shall returne to iustice, and all the vpright in heart shall follow after it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
Who will rise vp with me against the wicked? or who will take my part against the workers of iniquitie?
17 If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
If the Lord had not holpen me, my soule had almost dwelt in silence.
18 When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
When I said, My foote slideth, thy mercy, O Lord, stayed me.
19 In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul.
In the multitude of my thoughts in mine heart, thy comfortes haue reioyced my soule.
20 Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law?
Hath the throne of iniquitie fellowship with thee, which forgeth wrong for a Lawe?
21 They band together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
They gather them together against the soule of the righteous, and condemne the innocent blood.
22 But Jehovah will be my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge.
But the Lord is my refuge, and my God is the rocke of mine hope.
23 And he will bring upon them their iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil: Jehovah our God will cut them off.
And hee will recompence them their wickednes, and destroy them in their owne malice: yea, the Lord our God shall destroy them.
