Psalms 94
1 The Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: the God of revenge hath acted freely.
| אֵל־נְקָמֹ֥ות יְהוָ֑ה אֵ֖ל נְקָמֹ֣ות הֹופִֽיַע׃ |
2 Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud.
| הִ֭נָּשֵׂא שֹׁפֵ֣ט הָאָ֑רֶץ הָשֵׁ֥ב גְּ֝מ֗וּל עַל־גֵּאִֽים׃ |
3 How long shall sinners, O Lord: how long shall sinners glory?
| עַד־מָתַ֖י רְשָׁעִ֥ים ׀ יְהוָ֑ה עַד־מָ֝תַ֗י רְשָׁעִ֥ים יַעֲלֹֽזוּ׃ |
4 Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: shall all speak who work injustice?
| יַבִּ֣יעוּ יְדַבְּר֣וּ עָתָ֑ק יִֽ֝תְאַמְּר֗וּ כָּל־פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ |
5 Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: and they have afflicted thy inheritance.
| עַמְּךָ֣ יְהוָ֣ה יְדַכְּא֑וּ וְֽנַחֲלָתְךָ֥ יְעַנּֽוּ׃ |
6 They have slain the widow and the stranger: and they have murdered the fatherless.
| אַ֭לְמָנָה וְגֵ֣ר יַהֲרֹ֑גוּ וִֽיתֹומִ֣ים יְרַצֵּֽחוּ׃ |
7 And they have said: The Lord shall not see: neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
| וַ֭יֹּ֣אמְרוּ לֹ֣א יִרְאֶה־יָּ֑הּ וְלֹא־יָ֝בִ֗ין אֱלֹהֵ֥י יַעֲקֹֽב׃ |
8 Understand, ye senseless among the people: and, you fools, be wise at last.
| בִּ֭ינוּ בֹּעֲרִ֣ים בָּעָ֑ם וּ֝כְסִילִ֗ים מָתַ֥י תַּשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃ |
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?
| הֲנֹ֣טַֽע אֹ֖זֶן הֲלֹ֣א יִשְׁמָ֑ע אִֽם־יֹ֥צֵֽר עַ֝֗יִן הֲלֹ֣א יַבִּֽיט׃ |
10 He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: he that teacheth man knowledge?
| הֲיֹסֵ֣ר גֹּ֭ויִם הֲלֹ֣א יֹוכִ֑יחַ הַֽמְלַמֵּ֖ד אָדָ֣ם דָּֽעַת׃ |
11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, that they are vain.
| יְֽהוָ֗ה יֹ֭דֵעַ מַחְשְׁבֹ֣ות אָדָ֑ם כִּי־הֵ֥מָּה הָֽבֶל׃ |
12 Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: and shalt teach him out of thy law.
| אַשְׁרֵ֤י ׀ הַגֶּ֣בֶר אֲשֶׁר־תְּיַסְּרֶ֣נּוּ יָּ֑הּ וּֽמִתֹּורָתְךָ֥ תְלַמְּדֶֽנּוּ׃ |
13 That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: till a pit be dug for the wicked.
| לְהַשְׁקִ֣יט לֹ֖ו מִ֣ימֵי רָ֑ע עַ֤ד יִכָּרֶ֖ה לָרָשָׁ֣ע שָֽׁחַת׃ |
14 For the Lord will not cast off his people: neither will he forsake his own inheritance.
| כִּ֤י ׀ לֹא־יִטֹּ֣שׁ יְהוָ֣ה עַמֹּ֑ו וְ֝נַחֲלָתֹ֗ו לֹ֣א יַעֲזֹֽב׃ |
15 Until justice be turned into judgment: and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.
| כִּֽי־עַד־צֶ֭דֶק יָשׁ֣וּב מִשְׁפָּ֑ט וְ֝אַחֲרָ֗יו כָּל־יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃ |
16 Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity?
| מִֽי־יָק֣וּם לִ֭י עִם־מְרֵעִ֑ים מִֽי־יִתְיַצֵּ֥ב לִ֝י עִם־פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ |
17 Unless the Lord had been my helper, my soul had almost dwelt in hell. (questioned)
| לוּלֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה עֶזְרָ֣תָה לִּ֑י כִּמְעַ֓ט ׀ שָֽׁכְנָ֖ה דוּמָ֣ה נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
18 If I said: My foot is moved: thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.
| אִם־אָ֭מַרְתִּי מָ֣טָה רַגְלִ֑י חַסְדְּךָ֥ יְ֝הוָ֗ה יִסְעָדֵֽנִי׃ |
19 According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, thy comforts have given joy to my soul.
| בְּרֹ֣ב שַׂרְעַפַּ֣י בְּקִרְבִּ֑י תַּ֝נְחוּמֶ֗יךָ יְֽשַׁעַשְׁע֥וּ נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
20 Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, who framest labour in commandment?
| הַֽ֭יְחָבְרְךָ כִּסֵּ֣א הַוֹּ֑ות יֹצֵ֖ר עָמָ֣ל עֲלֵי־חֹֽק׃ |
21 They will hunt after the soul of the just, and will condemn innocent blood.
| יָ֭גֹודּוּ עַל־נֶ֣פֶשׁ צַדִּ֑יק וְדָ֖ם נָקִ֣י יַרְשִֽׁיעוּ׃ |
22 But the Lord is my refuge: and my God the help of my hope.
| וַיְהִ֬י יְהוָ֣ה לִ֣י לְמִשְׂגָּ֑ב וֵ֝אלֹהַ֗י לְצ֣וּר מַחְסִֽי׃ |
23 And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: the Lord our God will destroy them.
| וַיָּ֤שֶׁב עֲלֵיהֶ֨ם ׀ אֶת־אֹונָ֗ם וּבְרָעָתָ֥ם יַצְמִיתֵ֑ם יַ֝צְמִיתֵ֗ם יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ |
