Psalmorum 94
1 psalmus David quarta sabbati Deus ultionum Dominus Deus ultionum libere egit
God of vengeance — Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.
2 exaltare qui iudicas 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 iniustitiam
They utter — they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.
5 populum tuum Domine humiliaverunt et hereditatem 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 intelleget Deus Iacob
And they say, 'Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.'
8 intellegite qui insipientes estis 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 vanae 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 hereditatem suam non derelinquet
For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.
15 quoadusque iustitia convertatur in iudicium et qui iuxta illam omnes qui recto sunt corde diapsalma
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 adiuvit me paulo minus habitavit 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 adiuvabat me
If I have said, 'My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.
19 secundum multitudinem dolorum meorum in corde meo consolationes tuae laetificaverunt animam meam
In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
20 numquid aderit tibi sedis iniquitatis qui fingis dolorem in praecepto
Is a throne of mischief joined [with] Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?
21 captabunt in animam iusti et sanguinem innocentem condemnabunt
They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.
22 et factus est Dominus mihi in refugium et Deus meus in adiutorem spei meae
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!
