Psalms 94
1 Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.
ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ τετράδι σαββάτων ὁ θεὸς ἐκδικήσεων κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἐκδικήσεων ἐπαρρησιάσατο
2 Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.
ὑψώθητι ὁ κρίνων τὴν γῆν ἀπόδος ἀνταπόδοσιν τοῖς ὑπερηφάνοις
3 Yahweh, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?
ἕως πότε ἁμαρτωλοί κύριε ἕως πότε ἁμαρτωλοὶ καυχήσονται
4 They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.
φθέγξονται καὶ λαλήσουσιν ἀδικίαν λαλήσουσιν πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν
5 They break your people in pieces, Yahweh, and afflict your heritage.
τὸν λαόν σου κύριε ἐταπείνωσαν καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν σου ἐκάκωσαν
6 They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.
χήραν καὶ προσήλυτον ἀπέκτειναν καὶ ὀρφανοὺς ἐφόνευσαν
7 They say, “Yah will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.”
καὶ εἶπαν οὐκ ὄψεται κύριος οὐδὲ συνήσει ὁ θεὸς τοῦ Ιακωβ
8 Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise?
σύνετε δή ἄφρονες ἐν τῷ λαῷ καί μωροί ποτὲ φρονήσατε
9 He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear? He who formed the eye, won’t he see?
ὁ φυτεύσας τὸ οὖς οὐχὶ ἀκούει ἢ ὁ πλάσας τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν οὐ κατανοεῖ
10 He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows.
ὁ παιδεύων ἔθνη οὐχὶ ἐλέγξει ὁ διδάσκων ἄνθρωπον γνῶσιν
11 Yahweh knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
κύριος γινώσκει τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων ὅτι εἰσὶν μάταιοι
12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your law,
μακάριος ἄνθρωπος ὃν ἂν σὺ παιδεύσῃς κύριε καὶ ἐκ τοῦ νόμου σου διδάξῃς αὐτὸν
13 that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.
τοῦ πραῦναι αὐτῷ ἀφ’ ἡμερῶν πονηρῶν ἕως οὗ ὀρυγῇ τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ βόθρος
14 For Yahweh won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
ὅτι οὐκ ἀπώσεται κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψει
15 For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.
ἕως οὗ δικαιοσύνη ἐπιστρέψῃ εἰς κρίσιν καὶ ἐχόμενοι αὐτῆς πάντες οἱ εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ διάψαλμα
16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?
τίς ἀναστήσεταί μοι ἐπὶ πονηρευομένους ἢ τίς συμπαραστήσεταί μοι ἐπὶ ἐργαζομένους τὴν ἀνομίαν
17 Unless Yahweh had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.
εἰ μὴ ὅτι κύριος ἐβοήθησέν μοι παρὰ βραχὺ παρῴκησεν τῷ ᾅδῃ ἡ ψυχή μου
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up.
εἰ ἔλεγον σεσάλευται ὁ πούς μου τὸ ἔλεός σου κύριε βοηθεῖ μοι
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.
κύριε κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ὀδυνῶν μου ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου αἱ παρακλήσεις σου ἠγάπησαν τὴν ψυχήν μου
20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?
μὴ συμπροσέσται σοι θρόνος ἀνομίας ὁ πλάσσων κόπον ἐπὶ προστάγματι
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
θηρεύσουσιν ἐπὶ ψυχὴν δικαίου καὶ αἷμα ἀθῷον καταδικάσονται
22 But Yahweh has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.
καὶ ἐγένετό μοι κύριος εἰς καταφυγὴν καὶ ὁ θεός μου εἰς βοηθὸν ἐλπίδος μου
23 He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Yahweh, our God, will cut them off.
καὶ ἀποδώσει αὐτοῖς τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ τὴν πονηρίαν αὐτῶν ἀφανιεῖ αὐτοὺς κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν
