< Psalms 94 >
1 O LORD, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ τετράδι σαββάτων ὁ θεὸς ἐκδικήσεων κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἐκδικήσεων ἐπαρρησιάσατο
2 Lift up Thyself, Thou Judge of the earth; render to the proud their recompense.
ὑψώθητι ὁ κρίνων τὴν γῆν ἀπόδος ἀνταπόδοσιν τοῖς ὑπερηφάνοις
3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?
ἕως πότε ἁμαρτωλοί κύριε ἕως πότε ἁμαρτωλοὶ καυχήσονται
4 They gush out, they speak arrogancy; all the workers of iniquity bear themselves loftily.
φθέγξονται καὶ λαλήσουσιν ἀδικίαν λαλήσουσιν πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν
5 They crush Thy people, O LORD, and afflict Thy heritage.
τὸν λαόν σου κύριε ἐταπείνωσαν καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν σου ἐκάκωσαν
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
χήραν καὶ προσήλυτον ἀπέκτειναν καὶ ὀρφανοὺς ἐφόνευσαν
7 And they say: 'The LORD will not see, neither will the God of Jacob give heed.'
καὶ εἶπαν οὐκ ὄψεται κύριος οὐδὲ συνήσει ὁ θεὸς τοῦ Ιακωβ
8 Consider, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye understand?
σύνετε δή ἄφρονες ἐν τῷ λαῷ καί μωροί ποτὲ φρονήσατε
9 He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see?
ὁ φυτεύσας τὸ οὖς οὐχὶ ἀκούει ἢ ὁ πλάσας τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν οὐ κατανοεῖ
10 He that instructeth nations, shall not He correct? even He that teacheth man knowledge?
ὁ παιδεύων ἔθνη οὐχὶ ἐλέγξει ὁ διδάσκων ἄνθρωπον γνῶσιν
11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
κύριος γινώσκει τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων ὅτι εἰσὶν μάταιοι
12 Happy is the man whom Thou instructest, O LORD, and teachest out of Thy law;
μακάριος ἄνθρωπος ὃν ἂν σὺ παιδεύσῃς κύριε καὶ ἐκ τοῦ νόμου σου διδάξῃς αὐτὸν
13 That Thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged 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 inheritance.
ὅτι οὐκ ἀπώσεται κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψει
15 For right shall return unto justice, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
ἕως οὗ δικαιοσύνη ἐπιστρέψῃ εἰς κρίσιν καὶ ἐχόμενοι αὐτῆς πάντες οἱ εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ διάψαλμα
16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for 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 help, my soul had soon dwelt in silence.
εἰ μὴ ὅτι κύριος ἐβοήθησέν μοι παρὰ βραχὺ παρῴκησεν τῷ ᾅδῃ ἡ ψυχή μου
18 If I say: 'My foot slippeth', Thy mercy, O LORD, holdeth me up.
εἰ ἔλεγον σεσάλευται ὁ πούς μου τὸ ἔλεός σου κύριε βοηθεῖ μοι
19 When my cares are many within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
κύριε κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ὀδυνῶν μου ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου αἱ παρακλήσεις σου ἠγάπησαν τὴν ψυχήν μου
20 Shall the seat of wickedness have fellowship with Thee, which frameth mischief by statute?
μὴ συμπροσέσται σοι θρόνος ἀνομίας ὁ πλάσσων κόπον ἐπὶ προστάγματι
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
θηρεύσουσιν ἐπὶ ψυχὴν δικαίου καὶ αἷμα ἀθῷον καταδικάσονται
22 But the LORD hath been my high tower, and my God the rock of my refuge.
καὶ ἐγένετό μοι κύριος εἰς καταφυγὴν καὶ ὁ θεός μου εἰς βοηθὸν ἐλπίδος μου
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.
καὶ ἀποδώσει αὐτοῖς τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ τὴν πονηρίαν αὐτῶν ἀφανιεῖ αὐτοὺς κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν
