Psalms 94
1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
O Lord God the auenger, O God the auenger, shewe thy selfe clearely.
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
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 triumph?
Lord how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
They prate and speake fiercely: all the workers of iniquitie vaunt themselues.
5 They break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and afflict thine 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 Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
Yet they say, The Lord shall not see: neither will the God of Iaakob regard it.
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
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 chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
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 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him 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 adversity, 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 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: 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 evildoers? or 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 almost dwelt in silence.
If the Lord had not holpen me, my soule had almost dwelt in silence.
18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.
When I said, My foote slideth, thy mercy, O Lord, stayed me.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts 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 throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
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 the innocent blood.
They gather them together against the soule of the righteous, and condemne the innocent blood.
22 But the Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
But the Lord is my refuge, and my God is the rocke of mine hope.
23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord our God shall 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.
