< Ψαλμοί 94 >

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