Chapître 94

1

O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew⁵⁴ thyself.

2

Lift up¹⁰ thyself, thou judge⁶ of the earth: render⁵⁴ a reward to the proud.

3

 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?⁴

4

[How long] shall they utter⁵⁵ [and] speak¹⁷ hard things? [and] all the workers⁶ of iniquity boast¹⁰¹ themselves?

5

They break in pieces¹⁷ thy people, O LORD, and afflict¹⁷ thine heritage.

6

They slay⁴ the widow and the stranger, and murder¹⁷ the fatherless.

7

Yet they say,⁴ The LORD shall not see,⁴ neither shall the God of Jacob regard⁴ [it].

8

 Understand,³ ye brutish⁶ among the people: and [ye] fools, when will ye be wise?⁵⁵

9

He that planted⁶ the ear, shall he not hear?⁴ he that formed⁶ the eye, shall he not see?⁵⁵

10

He that chastiseth⁶ the heathen, shall not he correct?⁵⁵ he that teacheth¹⁸ man knowledge, [shall not he know]?

11

The LORD knoweth⁶ the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.

12

 Blessed [is] the man whom thou chastenest,¹⁷ O LORD, and teachest¹⁷ him out of thy law;

13

That thou mayest give him rest⁵³ from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged¹¹ for the wicked.

14

For the LORD will not cast off⁴ his people, neither will he forsake⁴ his inheritance.

15

But judgment shall return⁴ unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

16

Who will rise up⁴ for me against the evildoers?⁵⁶ [or] who will stand up¹⁰¹ for me against the workers⁶ of iniquity?

17

 Unless the LORD [had been] my help, my soul had almost dwelt¹ in silence.

18

When I said,¹ My foot slippeth;¹ thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.⁴

19

In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight⁴⁶ my soul.

20

Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship²⁹ with thee, which frameth⁶ mischief by a law?

21

They gather themselves together⁴ against the soul of the righteous, and condemn⁵⁵ the innocent blood.

22

But the LORD is my defence; and my God [is] the rock of my refuge.

23

And he shall bring⁵⁵ upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off⁵⁵ in their own wickedness; [yea], the LORD our God shall cut them off.⁵⁵
