1(94) A Psalm of David for the fourth [day] of the week. The Lord is a God of vengeance ; the God of vengeance has declared himself.
1O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
2Be you exalted, you that judge the earth: render a reward to the proud.
2Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3How long shall sinners, O Lord, how long shall sinners boast?
3Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4They will utter and speak unrighteousness; all the workers of iniquity will speak [so].
4How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5They have afflicted your people, O Lord, and hurt your heritage.
5They break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and afflict thine heritage.
6They have slain the widow and fatherless, and murdered the stranger.
6They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7And they said, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
7Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8Understand now, you⌃ simple among the people; and you⌃ fools, at length be wise.
8Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9He that planted the ear, does he not hear? or he that formed the eye, does not he perceive?
9He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10He that chastises the heathen, shall not he punish, [even] he that teaches man knowledge?
10He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11The Lord knows the thoughts of men, that they are vain.
11The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12Blessed is the man whoever you shall chasten, O Lord, and shall teach him out of your law;
12Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law;
13to give him rest from evil days , until a pit be digged for the sinful one.
13That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
14For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15until righteousness return to judgment, and all the upright in heart shall follow it. Pause.
15But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16Who will rise up for me against the transgressors? or who will stand up with me against the workers of iniquity?
16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17If the Lord had not helped me, my soul had almost sojourned in Hades.
17Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18If I said, My foot has been moved;
18When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.
19your mercy, O Lord, helped me. O Lord, according to the multitude of my griefs within my heart, your consolation have soothed my soul.
19In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with you, which frames mischief by an ordinance?
20Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21They will hunt for the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22But the Lord was my refuge; and my God the helper of my hope.
22But the Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23And he will recompense to them their iniquityand their wickedness: the Lord our God shall utterly destroy them .
23And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.
