Psalmorum 94
1 psalmus David quarta sabbati Deus ultionum Dominus Deus ultionum libere egit
Yahweh, God who avenges, God who avenges, shine over us.
2 exaltare qui iudicas terram redde retributionem superbis
Rise up, judge of the earth, give to the proud what they deserve.
3 usquequo peccatores Domine usquequo peccatores gloriabuntur
How long will the wicked, Yahweh, how long will the wicked rejoice?
4 effabuntur et loquentur iniquitatem loquentur omnes qui operantur iniustitiam
They pour out their arrogant words; all those who do evil boast.
5 populum tuum Domine humiliaverunt et hereditatem tuam vexaverunt
They crush your people, Yahweh; they afflict the nation that belongs to you.
6 viduam et advenam interfecerunt et pupillos occiderunt
They kill the widow and foreigner who lives in their country, and they murder the fatherless.
7 et dixerunt non videbit Dominus nec intelleget Deus Iacob
They say, “Yahweh will not see, the God of Jacob does not take notice of it.”
8 intellegite qui insipientes estis in populo et stulti aliquando sapite
Understand, you stupid people! You fools, when will you ever learn?
9 qui plantavit aurem non audiet aut qui finxit oculum non considerat
He who made the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see?
10 qui corripit gentes non arguet qui docet hominem scientiam
He who disciplines the nations, does he not correct? He is the one who gives knowledge to man.
11 Dominus scit cogitationes hominum quoniam vanae sunt
Yahweh knows the thoughts of men, that they are vapor.
12 beatus homo quem tu erudieris Domine et de lege tua docueris eum
Blessed is the one whom you instruct, Yahweh, the one whom you teach from your law.
13 ut mitiges ei a diebus malis donec fodiatur peccatori fovea
You give him rest in times of trouble until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 quia non repellet Dominus plebem suam et hereditatem suam non derelinquet
For Yahweh will not forsake his people or abandon his inheritance.
15 quoadusque iustitia convertatur in iudicium et qui iuxta illam omnes qui recto sunt corde diapsalma
For judgment will again be righteous; and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16 quis consurget mihi adversus malignantes aut quis stabit mecum adversus operantes iniquitatem
Who will rise up to defend me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the wicked?
17 nisi quia Dominus adiuvit me paulo minus habitavit in inferno anima mea (questioned)
Unless Yahweh had been my help, I would soon be lying down in the place of silence.
18 si dicebam motus est pes meus misericordia tua Domine adiuvabat me
When I said, “My foot is slipping,” Your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, held me up.
19 secundum multitudinem dolorum meorum in corde meo consolationes tuae laetificaverunt animam meam
When cares within me are many, your consolations make me happy.
20 numquid aderit tibi sedis iniquitatis qui fingis dolorem in praecepto
Can a throne of destruction be allied with you, one who creates injustice by statute?
21 captabunt in animam iusti et sanguinem innocentem condemnabunt
They conspire together to take the life of the righteous and they condemn the innocent to death.
22 et factus est Dominus mihi in refugium et Deus meus in adiutorem spei meae
But Yahweh has been my high tower, and my God has been 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 on them their own iniquity and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Yahweh our God will cut them off.
