Psalms 94
1 God is Lord of veniauncis; God of veniauncis dide freli.
God of vengeance — Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.
2 Be thou enhaunsid that demest the erthe; yelde thou yeldinge to proude men.
Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.
3 Lord, hou longe synneris; hou longe schulen synneris haue glorie?
Till when [do] the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?
4 Thei schulen telle out, and schulen speke wickidnesse; alle men schulen speke that worchen vnriytfulnesse.
They utter — they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.
5 Lord, thei han maad lowe thi puple; and thei han disesid thin eritage.
Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.
6 Thei killiden a widowe and a comelyng; and thei han slayn fadirles children and modirles.
Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.
7 And thei seiden, The Lord schal not se; and God of Jacob schal not vndurstonde.
And they say, 'Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.'
8 Ye vnwise men in the puple, vndirstonde; and, ye foolis, lerne sum tyme.
Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?
9 Schal not he here, that plauntide the eere; ethere biholdith not he, that made the iye?
He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?
10 Schal not he repreue, that chastisith folkis; which techith man kunnyng?
He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] Jehovah.
11 The Lord knowith the thouytis of men; that tho ben veyne.
He knoweth 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.
O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,
13 That thou aswage hym fro yuele daies; til a diche be diggid to the synner.
To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.
14 For the Lord schal not putte awei his puple; and he schal not forsake his eritage.
For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.
15 Til riytfulnesse be turned in to dom; and who ben niy it, alle that ben of riytful herte.
For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart,
16 Who schal rise with me ayens mysdoeris; ether who schal stonde with me ayens hem that worchen wickidnesse?
Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity?
17 No but for the Lord helpide me; almest my soule hadde dwellid in helle.
Unless Jehovah [were] a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.
18 If Y seide, My foot was stirid; Lord, thi merci helpide me.
If I have said, 'My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.
19 Aftir the multitude of my sorewis in myn herte; thi coumfortis maden glad my soule.
In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
20 Whether the seete of wickidnesse cleueth to thee; that makist trauel in comaundement?
Is a throne of mischief joined [with] Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?
21 Thei schulen take ayens the soule of a iust man; and thei schulen condempne innocent blood.
They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.
22 And the Lord was maad to me in to refuyt; and my God was maad in to the help of myn hope.
And Jehovah is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for a rock — 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 turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off!
