Psalms 94
1 The Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: the God of revenge hath acted freely.
O Lord God the auenger, O God the auenger, shewe thy selfe clearely.
2 Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud.
Exalt thy selfe, O Iudge of the worlde, and render a reward to the proude.
3 How long shall sinners, O Lord: how long shall sinners glory?
Lord how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: shall all speak who work injustice?
They prate and speake fiercely: all the workers of iniquitie vaunt themselues.
5 Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: and they have afflicted thy inheritance.
They smite downe thy people, O Lord, and trouble thine heritage.
6 They have slain the widow and the stranger: and they have murdered the fatherless.
They slay the widowe and the stranger, and murder the fatherlesse.
7 And they have said: The Lord shall not see: neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
Yet they say, The Lord shall not see: neither will the God of Iaakob regard it.
8 Understand, ye senseless among the people: and, you fools, be wise at last.
Vnderstande ye vnwise among the people: and ye fooles, when will ye be wise?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?
Hee that planted the eare, shall hee not heare? or he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: 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 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, that they are vain.
The Lord knoweth the thoughtes of man, that they are vanitie.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: and shalt teach him out of thy law.
Blessed is the man, whom thou chastisest, O Lord, and teachest him in thy Lawe,
13 That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: till a pit be dug for the wicked.
That thou mayest giue him rest from the dayes of euill, whiles the pitte is digged for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not cast off his people: neither will he forsake his own inheritance.
Surely the Lord will not faile his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 Until justice be turned into judgment: and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.
For iudgement shall returne to iustice, and all the vpright in heart shall follow after it.
16 Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? or who shall stand with 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 Unless the Lord had been my helper, my soul had almost dwelt in hell. (questioned)
If the Lord had not holpen me, my soule had almost dwelt in silence.
18 If I said: My foot is moved: thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.
When I said, My foote slideth, thy mercy, O Lord, stayed me.
19 According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, thy comforts have given joy to my soul.
In the multitude of my thoughts in mine heart, thy comfortes haue reioyced my soule.
20 Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, who framest labour in commandment?
Hath the throne of iniquitie fellowship with thee, which forgeth wrong for a Lawe?
21 They will hunt after the soul of the just, and will condemn innocent blood.
They gather them together against the soule of the righteous, and condemne the innocent blood.
22 But the Lord is my refuge: and my God the help of my hope.
But the Lord is my refuge, and my God is the rocke of mine hope.
23 And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: the Lord our God will destroy them.
And hee will recompence them their wickednes, and destroy them in their owne malice: yea, the Lord our God shall destroy them.
