Psalms 94
1 God of vengeance — Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.
O Lord God the auenger, O God the auenger, shewe thy selfe clearely.
2 Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.
Exalt thy selfe, O Iudge of the worlde, and render a reward to the proude.
3 Till when [do] the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?
Lord how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 They utter — they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.
They prate and speake fiercely: all the workers of iniquitie vaunt themselues.
5 Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.
They smite downe thy people, O Lord, and trouble thine heritage.
6 Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.
They slay the widowe and the stranger, and murder the fatherlesse.
7 And they say, 'Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.'
Yet they say, The Lord shall not see: neither will the God of Iaakob regard it.
8 Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?
Vnderstande ye vnwise among the people: and ye fooles, when will ye be wise?
9 He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?
Hee that planted the eare, shall hee not heare? or he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] Jehovah.
Or he that chastiseth the nations, shall he not correct? hee that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not knowe?
11 He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.
The Lord knoweth the thoughtes of man, that they are vanitie.
12 O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,
Blessed is the man, whom thou chastisest, O Lord, and teachest him in thy Lawe,
13 To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is 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 Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.
Surely the Lord will not faile his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart,
For iudgement shall returne to iustice, and all the vpright in heart shall follow after it.
16 Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with 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 Jehovah [were] a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.
If the Lord had not holpen me, my soule had almost dwelt in silence.
18 If I have said, 'My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.
When I said, My foote slideth, thy mercy, O Lord, stayed me.
19 In the abundance 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 Is a throne of mischief joined [with] Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?
Hath the throne of iniquitie fellowship with thee, which forgeth wrong for a Lawe?
21 They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.
They gather them together against the soule of the righteous, and condemne the innocent blood.
22 And Jehovah is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for a rock — my refuge,
But the Lord is my refuge, and my God is the rocke of mine hope.
23 And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth 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.
