Psalms 94
1 God of vengeance—YHWH! God of vengeance, shine forth.
ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ τετράδι σαββάτων ὁ θεὸς ἐκδικήσεων κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἐκδικήσεων ἐπαρρησιάσατο
2 Be lifted up, judging the earth, Send back a repayment on the proud.
ὑψώθητι ὁ κρίνων τὴν γῆν ἀπόδος ἀνταπόδοσιν τοῖς ὑπερηφάνοις
3 Until when do the wicked, O YHWH—Until when do the wicked exult?
ἕως πότε ἁμαρτωλοί κύριε ἕως πότε ἁμαρτωλοὶ καυχήσονται
4 They utter—they speak arrogance, All working iniquity boast [about] themselves.
φθέγξονται καὶ λαλήσουσιν ἀδικίαν λαλήσουσιν πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν
5 Your people, O YHWH, they bruise, And they afflict Your inheritance.
τὸν λαόν σου κύριε ἐταπείνωσαν καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν σου ἐκάκωσαν
6 They slay widow and sojourner, And they murder fatherless ones.
χήραν καὶ προσήλυτον ἀπέκτειναν καὶ ὀρφανοὺς ἐφόνευσαν
7 And they say, “YAH does not see, And the God of Jacob does not consider.”
καὶ εἶπαν οὐκ ὄψεται κύριος οὐδὲ συνήσει ὁ θεὸς τοῦ Ιακωβ
8 Consider, you brutish among the people, And you foolish, when do you act wisely?
σύνετε δή ἄφρονες ἐν τῷ λαῷ καί μωροί ποτὲ φρονήσατε
9 He who plants the ear, does He not hear? He who forms the eye, does He not see?
ὁ φυτεύσας τὸ οὖς οὐχὶ ἀκούει ἢ ὁ πλάσας τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν οὐ κατανοεῖ
10 He who is instructing nations, does He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] YHWH.
ὁ παιδεύων ἔθνη οὐχὶ ἐλέγξει ὁ διδάσκων ἄνθρωπον γνῶσιν
11 He knows the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.
κύριος γινώσκει τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων ὅτι εἰσὶν μάταιοι
12 O the blessedness of the man Whom You instruct, O YAH, And teach him out of Your law,
μακάριος ἄνθρωπος ὃν ἂν σὺ παιδεύσῃς κύριε καὶ ἐκ τοῦ νόμου σου διδάξῃς αὐτὸν
13 To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is dug for the wicked.
τοῦ πραῦναι αὐτῷ ἀφ’ ἡμερῶν πονηρῶν ἕως οὗ ὀρυγῇ τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ βόθρος
14 For YHWH does not leave His people, And does not forsake His inheritance.
ὅτι οὐκ ἀπώσεται κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψει
15 For judgment turns back to righteousness, And after it all the upright of heart.
ἕως οὗ δικαιοσύνη ἐπιστρέψῃ εἰς κρίσιν καὶ ἐχόμενοι αὐτῆς πάντες οἱ εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ διάψαλμα
16 Who rises up for me with evildoers? Who stations himself for me with workers of iniquity?
τίς ἀναστήσεταί μοι ἐπὶ πονηρευομένους ἢ τίς συμπαραστήσεταί μοι ἐπὶ ἐργαζομένους τὴν ἀνομίαν
17 Unless YHWH [were] a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.
εἰ μὴ ὅτι κύριος ἐβοήθησέν μοι παρὰ βραχὺ παρῴκησεν τῷ ᾅδῃ ἡ ψυχή μου
18 If I have said, “My foot has slipped,” Your kindness, O YHWH, supports me.
εἰ ἔλεγον σεσάλευται ὁ πούς μου τὸ ἔλεός σου κύριε βοηθεῖ μοι
19 In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Your comforts delight my soul.
κύριε κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ὀδυνῶν μου ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου αἱ παρακλήσεις σου ἠγάπησαν τὴν ψυχήν μου
20 Is a throne of mischief joined [with] You? A framer of perverseness by statute?
μὴ συμπροσέσται σοι θρόνος ἀνομίας ὁ πλάσσων κόπον ἐπὶ προστάγματι
21 They decree against the soul of the righteous, And declare innocent blood wicked.
θηρεύσουσιν ἐπὶ ψυχὴν δικαίου καὶ αἷμα ἀθῷον καταδικάσονται
22 And YHWH is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for a rock—my refuge,
καὶ ἐγένετό μοι κύριος εἰς καταφυγὴν καὶ ὁ θεός μου εἰς βοηθὸν ἐλπίδος μου
23 And He turns back their iniquity on them, And in their wickedness cuts them off; Our God YHWH cuts them off!
καὶ ἀποδώσει αὐτοῖς τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ τὴν πονηρίαν αὐτῶν ἀφανιεῖ αὐτοὺς κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν
