Psalms 94
1 The Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: the God of revenge hath acted freely.
ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ τετράδι σαββάτων ὁ θεὸς ἐκδικήσεων κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἐκδικήσεων ἐπαρρησιάσατο
2 Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud.
ὑψώθητι ὁ κρίνων τὴν γῆν ἀπόδος ἀνταπόδοσιν τοῖς ὑπερηφάνοις
3 How long shall sinners, O Lord: how long shall sinners glory?
ἕως πότε ἁμαρτωλοί κύριε ἕως πότε ἁμαρτωλοὶ καυχήσονται
4 Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: shall all speak who work injustice?
φθέγξονται καὶ λαλήσουσιν ἀδικίαν λαλήσουσιν πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν
5 Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: and they have afflicted thy inheritance.
τὸν λαόν σου κύριε ἐταπείνωσαν καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν σου ἐκάκωσαν
6 They have slain the widow and the stranger: and they have murdered the fatherless.
χήραν καὶ προσήλυτον ἀπέκτειναν καὶ ὀρφανοὺς ἐφόνευσαν
7 And they have said: The Lord shall not see: neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
καὶ εἶπαν οὐκ ὄψεται κύριος οὐδὲ συνήσει ὁ θεὸς τοῦ Ιακωβ
8 Understand, ye senseless among the people: and, you fools, be wise at last.
σύνετε δή ἄφρονες ἐν τῷ λαῷ καί μωροί ποτὲ φρονήσατε
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?
ὁ φυτεύσας τὸ οὖς οὐχὶ ἀκούει ἢ ὁ πλάσας τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν οὐ κατανοεῖ
10 He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: he that teacheth man knowledge?
ὁ παιδεύων ἔθνη οὐχὶ ἐλέγξει ὁ διδάσκων ἄνθρωπον γνῶσιν
11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, that they are vain.
κύριος γινώσκει τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων ὅτι εἰσὶν μάταιοι
12 Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: and shalt teach him out of thy law.
μακάριος ἄνθρωπος ὃν ἂν σὺ παιδεύσῃς κύριε καὶ ἐκ τοῦ νόμου σου διδάξῃς αὐτὸν
13 That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: till a pit be dug for the wicked.
τοῦ πραῦναι αὐτῷ ἀφ’ ἡμερῶν πονηρῶν ἕως οὗ ὀρυγῇ τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ βόθρος
14 For the Lord will not cast off his people: neither will he forsake his own inheritance.
ὅτι οὐκ ἀπώσεται κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψει
15 Until justice be turned into judgment: and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.
ἕως οὗ δικαιοσύνη ἐπιστρέψῃ εἰς κρίσιν καὶ ἐχόμενοι αὐτῆς πάντες οἱ εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ διάψαλμα
16 Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity?
τίς ἀναστήσεταί μοι ἐπὶ πονηρευομένους ἢ τίς συμπαραστήσεταί μοι ἐπὶ ἐργαζομένους τὴν ἀνομίαν
17 Unless the Lord had been my helper, my soul had almost dwelt in hell. (questioned)
εἰ μὴ ὅτι κύριος ἐβοήθησέν μοι παρὰ βραχὺ παρῴκησεν τῷ ᾅδῃ ἡ ψυχή μου
18 If I said: My foot is moved: thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.
εἰ ἔλεγον σεσάλευται ὁ πούς μου τὸ ἔλεός σου κύριε βοηθεῖ μοι
19 According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, thy comforts have given joy to my soul.
κύριε κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ὀδυνῶν μου ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου αἱ παρακλήσεις σου ἠγάπησαν τὴν ψυχήν μου
20 Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, who framest labour in commandment?
μὴ συμπροσέσται σοι θρόνος ἀνομίας ὁ πλάσσων κόπον ἐπὶ προστάγματι
21 They will hunt after the soul of the just, and will condemn innocent blood.
θηρεύσουσιν ἐπὶ ψυχὴν δικαίου καὶ αἷμα ἀθῷον καταδικάσονται
22 But the Lord is my refuge: and my God the help of my hope.
καὶ ἐγένετό μοι κύριος εἰς καταφυγὴν καὶ ὁ θεός μου εἰς βοηθὸν ἐλπίδος μου
23 And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: the Lord our God will destroy them.
καὶ ἀποδώσει αὐτοῖς τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ τὴν πονηρίαν αὐτῶν ἀφανιεῖ αὐτοὺς κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν
