Psalmorum 94
1 psalmus David quarta sabbati Deus ultionum Dominus Deus ultionum libere egit
O LORD! thou God of vengeance! O thou God of vengeance! shine forth!
2 exaltare qui iudicas terram redde retributionem superbis
Rouse thyself, thou judge of the earth! Render a recompense to the proud!
3 usquequo peccatores Domine usquequo peccatores gloriabuntur
How long, O LORD! shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph?
4 effabuntur et loquentur iniquitatem loquentur omnes qui operantur iniustitiam
How long shall their lips pour forth insolence? How long shall all the evil-doers boast?
5 populum tuum Domine humiliaverunt et hereditatem tuam vexaverunt
O LORD! they trample upon thy people, And oppress 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 intelleget Deus Iacob
And they say, “The LORD doth not see, The God of Jacob doth not regard!”
8 intellegite qui insipientes estis in populo et stulti aliquando sapite
Be instructed, ye most stupid of mankind! O when, ye fools, 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 chastiseth nations, shall not he punish? He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11 Dominus scit cogitationes hominum quoniam vanae sunt
The LORD knoweth the thoughts of men, That they are vanity.
12 beatus homo quem tu erudieris Domine et de lege tua docueris eum
Happy the man, O LORD! whom thou correctest, Whom by thy teaching thou makest wise;
13 ut mitiges ei a diebus malis donec fodiatur peccatori fovea
To give him peace in the days of adversity, Until a pit be digged for the wicked!
14 quia non repellet Dominus plebem suam et hereditatem suam non derelinquet
For the LORD will not forsake his people, Nor abandon his own inheritance.
15 quoadusque iustitia convertatur in iudicium et qui iuxta illam omnes qui recto sunt corde diapsalma
For judgment shall return to justice, 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 wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evil-doers?
17 nisi quia Dominus adiuvit me paulo minus habitavit in inferno anima mea (questioned)
If the LORD had not been my help, I had well nigh dwelt in the land of silence.
18 si dicebam motus est pes meus misericordia tua Domine adiuvabat me
When I think that my foot is slipping, Thy goodness, O LORD! holdeth me up.
19 secundum multitudinem dolorum meorum in corde meo consolationes tuae laetificaverunt animam meam
In the multitude of anxieties within me, Thy consolations revive my soul.
20 numquid aderit tibi sedis iniquitatis qui fingis dolorem in praecepto
Shall with thee be allied the throne of iniquity, Which deviseth mischief against law?
21 captabunt in animam iusti et sanguinem innocentem condemnabunt
They band together against the life of the righteous, And condemn innocent blood.
22 et factus est Dominus mihi in refugium et Deus meus in adiutorem spei meae
But the LORD is my fortress, 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
He will bring upon them their own iniquity; Yea, through their own wickedness he will cut them off; Yea, the LORD, our God, will cut them off.
