Psalmorum 94
1 Psalmus ipsi David, Quarta sabbati. Deus ultionum Dominus: Deus ultionum libere egit.
O LORD, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
2 Exaltare qui iudicas terram: redde retributionem superbis.
Lift up Thyself, Thou Judge of the earth; render to the proud their recompense.
3 Usquequo peccatores Domine: usquequo peccatores gloriabuntur:
LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?
4 Effabuntur, et loquentur iniquitatem: loquentur omnes, qui operantur iniustitiam?
They gush out, they speak arrogancy; all the workers of iniquity bear themselves loftily.
5 Populum tuum Domine humiliaverunt: et hereditatem tuam vexaverunt.
They crush Thy people, O LORD, and afflict Thy heritage.
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 they say: 'The LORD will not see, neither will the God of Jacob give heed.'
8 Intelligite insipientes in populo: et stulti aliquando sapite.
Consider, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye understand?
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 nations, shall not He correct? even He that teacheth man knowledge?
11 Dominus scit cogitationes hominum, quoniam vanæ sunt.
The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Beatus homo, quem tu erudieris Domine: et de lege tua docueris eum.
Happy is the man whom Thou instructest, O LORD, and 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 the LORD 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 right shall return unto 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 evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Nisi quia Dominus adiuvit me: paulominus habitasset in inferno anima mea. (questioned)
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had soon dwelt in silence.
18 Si dicebam: Motus est pes meus: misericordia tua Domine adiuvabat me.
If I say: 'My foot slippeth', Thy mercy, O LORD, holdeth me up.
19 Secundum multitudinem dolorum meorum in corde meo: consolationes tuæ lætificaverunt animam meam.
When my cares are many within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
20 Numquid adhæret tibi sedes iniquitatis: qui fingis laborem in præcepto?
Shall the seat of wickedness have fellowship with Thee, which frameth mischief by statute?
21 Captabunt in animam iusti: et sanguinem innocentem condemnabunt.
They gather themselves 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 meæ.
But the LORD hath been 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 hath brought upon them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil; the LORD our God will cut them off.
