Psalms 94
1 O LORD, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, 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 to the proud their recompense.
Exalt thy selfe, O Iudge of the worlde, and render a reward to the proude.
3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?
Lord how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 They gush out, they speak arrogancy; all the workers of iniquity bear themselves loftily.
They prate and speake fiercely: all the workers of iniquitie vaunt themselues.
5 They crush Thy people, O LORD, and afflict Thy heritage.
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 they say: 'The LORD will not see, neither will the God of Jacob give heed.'
Yet they say, The Lord shall not see: neither will the God of Iaakob regard it.
8 Consider, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye understand?
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 nations, shall not He correct? even 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 man, that they are vanity.
The Lord knoweth the thoughtes of man, that they are vanitie.
12 Happy is the man whom Thou instructest, O LORD, and 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 the LORD 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 right shall return unto justice, 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 up 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 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had soon dwelt in silence.
If the Lord had not holpen me, my soule had almost dwelt in silence.
18 If I say: 'My foot slippeth', Thy mercy, O LORD, holdeth me up.
When I said, My foote slideth, thy mercy, O Lord, stayed me.
19 When my cares are many within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
In the multitude of my thoughts in mine heart, thy comfortes haue reioyced my soule.
20 Shall the seat of wickedness have fellowship with Thee, which frameth mischief by statute?
Hath the throne of iniquitie fellowship with thee, which forgeth wrong for a Lawe?
21 They gather themselves 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 the LORD hath been 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 hath brought upon them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil; the LORD 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.
