Psalmorum 94
1 Psalmus ipsi David, quarta sabbati. Deus ultionum Dominus; Deus ultionum libere egit.
God of vengeance — Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.
2 Exaltare, qui judicas terram; redde retributionem superbis.
Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.
3 Usquequo peccatores, Domine, usquequo peccatores gloriabuntur;
Till when [do] the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?
4 effabuntur et loquentur iniquitatem; loquentur omnes qui operantur injustitiam?
They utter — they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.
5 Populum tuum, Domine, humiliaverunt, et hæreditatem tuam vexaverunt.
Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.
6 Viduam et advenam interfecerunt, et pupillos occiderunt.
Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.
7 Et dixerunt: Non videbit Dominus, nec intelliget Deus Jacob.
And they say, 'Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.'
8 Intelligite, insipientes in populo; et stulti, aliquando sapite.
Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?
9 Qui plantavit aurem non audiet? aut qui finxit oculum non considerat?
He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?
10 Qui corripit gentes non arguet, qui docet hominem scientiam?
He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] Jehovah.
11 Dominus scit cogitationes hominum, quoniam vanæ sunt.
He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.
12 Beatus homo quem tu erudieris, Domine, et de lege tua docueris eum:
O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,
13 ut mitiges ei a diebus malis, donec fodiatur peccatori fovea.
To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.
14 Quia non repellet Dominus plebem suam, et hæreditatem suam non derelinquet,
For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.
15 quoadusque justitia convertatur in judicium: et qui juxta illam, omnes qui recto sunt corde.
For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart,
16 Quis consurget mihi adversus malignantes? aut quis stabit mecum adversus operantes iniquitatem?
Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity?
17 Nisi quia Dominus adjuvit me, paulominus habitasset in inferno anima mea. (questioned)
Unless Jehovah [were] a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.
18 Si dicebam: Motus est pes meus: misericordia tua, Domine, adjuvabat me.
If I have said, 'My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.
19 Secundum multitudinem dolorum meorum in corde meo, consolationes tuæ lætificaverunt animam meam.
In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
20 Numquid adhæret tibi sedes iniquitatis, qui fingis laborem in præcepto?
Is a throne of mischief joined [with] Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?
21 Captabunt in animam justi, et sanguinem innocentem condemnabunt.
They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.
22 Et factus est mihi Dominus in refugium, et Deus meus in adjutorium spei meæ.
And Jehovah is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for a rock — my refuge,
23 Et reddet illis iniquitatem ipsorum, et in malitia eorum disperdet eos: disperdet illos Dominus Deus noster.
And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off!
