Psalmi 94
1 Oh Gospod Bog, ki mu pripada maščevanje, oh Bog, ki mu pripada maščevanje, pokaži se.
O LORD! thou God of vengeance! O thou God of vengeance! shine forth!
2 Dvigni se, ti sodnik zemlje; povrni nagrado ponosnim.
Rouse thyself, thou judge of the earth! Render a recompense to the proud!
3 Gospod, doklej bodo zlobni, doklej bodo zlobni slavili zmago?
How long, O LORD! shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph?
4 Kako dolgo bodo izgovarjali in govorili trde stvari in se bahali vsi delavci krivičnosti?
How long shall their lips pour forth insolence? How long shall all the evil-doers boast?
5 Tvoje ljudstvo razbijajo na koščke, oh Gospod in prizadevajo tvojo dediščino.
O LORD! they trample upon thy people, And oppress thine inheritance!
6 Ubijajo vdovo in tujca in morijo osirotele.
They slay the widow, and the stranger, And murder the fatherless;
7 Vendar pravijo: » Gospod nas ne bo videl niti Bog Jakobov tega ne bo upošteval.«
And they say, “The LORD doth not see, The God of Jacob doth not regard!”
8 Razumite, vi brutalni izmed ljudstva, in vi bedaki, kdaj boste modri?
Be instructed, ye most stupid of mankind! O when, ye fools, will ye be wise?
9 Kdor je zasadil uho, da ne bi slišal? Kdor je oblikoval oko, da ne bi videl?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 Kdor kaznuje pogane, da ne bi grajal? Kdor uči človeka spoznanja, da ne bi vedel?
He that chastiseth nations, shall not he punish? He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11 Gospod pozna človekove misli, da so le-te ničevost.
The LORD knoweth the thoughts of men, That they are vanity.
12 Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ga karaš, oh Gospod in ga učiš iz svoje postave,
Happy the man, O LORD! whom thou correctest, Whom by thy teaching thou makest wise;
13 da mu lahko daš počitek od dni nadloge, dokler ni izkopana jama za zlobnega.
To give him peace in the days of adversity, Until a pit be digged for the wicked!
14 Kajti Gospod ne bo zavrgel svojega ljudstva niti ne bo zapustil svoje dediščine.
For the LORD will not forsake his people, Nor abandon his own inheritance.
15 Toda sodba se bo vrnila k pravičnosti in vsi iskreni v srcu ji bodo sledili.
For judgment shall return to justice, And all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Kdo se bo zame dvignil zoper hudodelce? Ali kdo bo zame vstal zoper delavce krivičnosti?
Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evil-doers?
17 Če Gospod ne bi bil moja pomoč, bi moja duša skoraj prebivala v tišini.
If the LORD had not been my help, I had well nigh dwelt in the land of silence.
18 Ko sem rekel: »Moje stopalo zdrsuje, me je podpiralo tvoje usmiljenje, oh Gospod.
When I think that my foot is slipping, Thy goodness, O LORD! holdeth me up.
19 V množici mojih misli znotraj mene tvoje tolažbe razveseljujejo mojo dušo.
In the multitude of anxieties within me, Thy consolations revive my soul.
20 Mar bo prestol krivičnosti, ki z uzakonitvijo snuje vragolijo, imel družbo s teboj?
Shall with thee be allied the throne of iniquity, Which deviseth mischief against law?
21 Skupaj se zbirajo zoper dušo pravičnega in obsojajo nedolžno kri.
They band together against the life of the righteous, And condemn innocent blood.
22 Toda Gospod je moja obramba in moj Bog je skala mojega zatočišča.
But the LORD is my fortress, And my God the rock of my refuge.
23 Nadnje bo privedel njihovo lastno krivičnost in odsekal jih bo v njihovi lastni zlobnosti; da, Gospod, naš Bog, jih bo odsekal.
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.
