PSALMS 诗篇094

PSALM¹ 94
1O Lord , the God who avenges², O God who avenges, shine forth³.
2Rise up, O Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.
3How long will the wicked, O Lord , how long will the wicked be jubilant?
4They pour out arrogant⁴ words; all the evildoers are full of boasting.
5They crush your people, O Lord ; they oppress your inheritance.
6They slay⁵ the widow and the alien; they murder the fatherless.
7They say, "The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed⁶."
8Take heed, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?
9Does he who implanted the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?
10Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches man lack knowledge?
11The Lord knows the thoughts of man; he knows that they are futile⁷.
12Blessed is the man you discipline, O Lord , the man you teach from your law;
13you grant him relief from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked.
14For the Lord will not reject his people; he will never forsake⁸ his inheritance.
15Judgment will again be founded on righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?
17Unless the Lord had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.
18When I said, "My foot is slipping," your love, O Lord , supported me.
19When anxiety was great within me, your consolation⁹ brought joy to my soul.
20Can a corrupt¹⁰ throne be allied¹¹ with you- one that brings on misery¹² by its decrees?
21They band together against the righteous and condemn¹³ the innocent to death.
22But the Lord has become my fortress¹⁴, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
23He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the Lord our God will destroy them.
