Psalms 94
1 God is Lord of veniauncis; God of veniauncis dide freli.
O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongs, thou God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth.
2 Be thou enhaunsid that demest the erthe; yelde thou yeldinge to proude men.
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth. Render to the proud a recompense.
3 Lord, hou longe synneris; hou longe schulen synneris haue glorie?
Jehovah, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 Thei schulen telle out, and schulen speke wickidnesse; alle men schulen speke that worchen vnriytfulnesse.
They prate, they speak arrogantly. All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.
5 Lord, thei han maad lowe thi puple; and thei han disesid thin eritage.
They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thy heritage.
6 Thei killiden a widowe and a comelyng; and thei han slayn fadirles children and modirles.
They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless.
7 And thei seiden, The Lord schal not se; and God of Jacob schal not vndurstonde.
And they say, Jehovah will not see, nor will the God of Jacob consider.
8 Ye vnwise men in the puple, vndirstonde; and, ye foolis, lerne sum tyme.
Consider, ye brutish among the people, and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9 Schal not he here, that plauntide the eere; ethere biholdith not he, that made the iye?
He who planted the ear, shall he not hear? He who formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 Schal not he repreue, that chastisith folkis; which techith man kunnyng?
He who chastises the nations, shall he not correct, even he who teaches man knowledge?
11 The Lord knowith the thouytis of men; that tho ben veyne.
Jehovah knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Blessid is the man, whom thou, Lord, hast lerned; and hast tauyt him of thi lawe.
Blessed is the man whom thou chasten, O Jehovah, and teach out of thy law,
13 That thou aswage hym fro yuele daies; til a diche be diggid to the synner.
that thou may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for a wicked man.
14 For the Lord schal not putte awei his puple; and he schal not forsake his eritage.
For Jehovah will not cast off his people, nor will he forsake his inheritance.
15 Til riytfulnesse be turned in to dom; and who ben niy it, alle that ben of riytful herte.
For judgment shall return to righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Who schal rise with me ayens mysdoeris; ether who schal stonde with me ayens hem that worchen wickidnesse?
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 No but for the Lord helpide me; almest my soule hadde dwellid in helle.
Unless Jehovah had been my help, my soul would have soon dwelt in silence.
18 If Y seide, My foot was stirid; Lord, thi merci helpide me.
When I said, My foot slips, thy loving kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
19 Aftir the multitude of my sorewis in myn herte; thi coumfortis maden glad my soule.
In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20 Whether the seete of wickidnesse cleueth to thee; that makist trauel in comaundement?
Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee, which frames mischief by statute?
21 Thei schulen take ayens the soule of a iust man; and thei schulen condempne innocent blood.
They gather themselves together against the soul of a righteous man, and condemn innocent blood.
22 And the Lord was maad to me in to refuyt; and my God was maad in to the help of myn hope.
But Jehovah has been my high tower, and my God the rock of my refuge.
23 And he schal yelde to hem the wickidnesse of hem; and in the malice of hem he schal lese hem, oure Lord God schal lese hem.
And he has brought upon them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Jehovah our God will cut them off.
