Psalmorum 94
1 Psalmus David, Quarta sabbati. Deus ultionum Dominus: Deus ultionum libere egit.
O God of vengeances, Jehovah, God of vengeances, shine forth;
2 Exaltare qui iudicas terram: redde retributionem superbis.
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth, render the reward to the proud.
3 Usquequo peccatores Domine: usquequo peccatores gloriabuntur:
How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 Effabuntur, et loquentur iniquitatem: loquentur omnes, qui operantur iniustitiam?
[How long] shall they utter [and] speak insolence — all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 Populum tuum Domine humiliaverunt: et hereditatem tuam vexaverunt.
They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance;
6 Viduam, et advenam interfecerunt: et pupillos occiderunt.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless,
7 Et dixerunt: Non videbit Dominus, nec intelliget Deus Iacob.
And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard [it].
8 Intelligite insipientes in populo: et stulti aliquando sapite.
Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9 Qui plantavit aurem, non audiet? aut qui finxit oculum, non considerat?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 Qui corripit gentes, non arguet: qui docet hominem scientiam?
He that instructeth the nations, shall not he correct — he that teacheth man knowledge?
11 Dominus scit cogitationes hominum, quoniam vanae sunt.
Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Beatus homo, quem tu erudieris Domine: et de lege tua docueris eum.
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law;
13 Ut mitiges ei a diebus malis: donec fodiatur peccatori fovea.
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 Quia non repellet Dominus plebem suam: et hereditatem suam non derelinquet.
For Jehovah will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
15 Quoadusque iustitia convertatur in iudicium: et qui iuxta illam omnes qui recto sunt corde.
For judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Quis consurget mihi adversus malignantes? aut quis stabit mecum adversus operantes iniquitatem?
Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Nisi quia Dominus adiuvit me: paulominus habitasset in inferno anima mea. (questioned)
If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 Si dicebam: Motus est pes meus: misericordia tua Domine adiuvabat me.
When I said, My foot slippeth, thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
19 Secundum multitudinem dolorum meorum in corde meo: consolationes tuae laetificaverunt animam meam.
In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me thy comforts have delighted my soul.
20 Numquid adhaeret tibi sedes iniquitatis: qui fingis laborem in praecepto?
Shall the throne of wickedness be united to thee, which frameth mischief into a law?
21 Captabunt in animam iusti: et sanguinem innocentem condemnabunt.
They band together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
22 Et factus est mihi Dominus in refugium: et Deus meus in adiutorium spei meae.
But Jehovah will be my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge.
23 Et reddet illis iniquitatem ipsorum: et in malitia eorum disperdet eos: disperdet illos Dominus Deus noster.
And he will bring upon them their iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil: Jehovah our God will cut them off.
