Psalms 94

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

يَا إِلهَ النَّقَمَاتِ يَا رَبُّ، يَا إِلهَ النَّقَمَاتِ، أَشْرِقِ.

Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.

ارْتَفِعْ يَا دَيَّانَ الأَرْضِ. جَازِ صَنِيعَ الْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ.

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

حَتَّى مَتَى الْخُطَاةُ يَا رَبُّ، حَتَّى مَتَى الْخُطَاةُ يَشْمَتُونَ؟

How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

يُبِقُّونَ، يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِوَقَاحَةٍ. كُلُّ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ يَفْتَخِرُونَ.

They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.

يَسْحَقُونَ شَعْبَكَ يَارَبُّ، وَيُذِلُّونَ مِيرَاثَكَ.

They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.

يَقْتُلُونَ الأَرْمَلَةَ وَالْغَرِيبَ، وَيُمِيتُونَ الْيَتِيمَ.

Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.

وَيَقُولُونَ: «الرَّبُّ لاَ يُبْصِرُ، وَإِلهُ يَعْقُوبَ لاَ يُلاَحِظُ».

Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?

اِفْهَمُوا أَيُّهَا الْبُلَدَاءُ فِي الشَّعْبِ، وَيَا جُهَلاَءُ مَتَى تَعْقِلُونَ؟

He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

الْغَارِسُ الأُذُنَِ أَلاَ يَسْمَعُ؟ الصَّانِعُ الْعَيْنَ أَلاَ يُبْصِرُ؟

He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?

الْمُؤَدِّبُ الأُمَمَ أَلاَ يُبَكِّتُ؟ الْمُعَلِّمُ الإِنْسَانَ مَعْرِفَةً.

The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

الرَّبُّ يَعْرِفُ أَفْكَارَ الإِنْسَانِ أَنَّهَا بَاطِلَةٌ.

Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي تُؤَدِّبُهُ يَا رَبُّ، وَتُعَلِّمُهُ مِنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ

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

لِتُرِيحَهُ مِنْ أَيَّامِ الشَّرِّ، حَتَّى تُحْفَرَ لِلشِّرِّيرِ حُفْرَةٌ.

For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ لاَ يَرْفُضُ شَعْبَهُ، وَلاَ يَتْرُكُ مِيرَاثَهُ.

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

لأَنَّهُ إِلَى الْعَدْلِ يَرْجعُ الْقَضَاءُ، وَعَلَى أَثَرِهِ كُلُّ مُسْتَقِيمِي الْقُلُوبِ.

Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

مَنْ يَقُومُ لِي عَلَى الْمُسِيئِينَ؟ مَنْ يَقِفُ لِي ضِدَّ فَعَلَةِ الإِثْمِ؟

Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

لَوْلاَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ مُعِينِي، لَسَكَنَتْ نَفْسِي سَرِيعًا أَرْضَ السُّكُوتِ.

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

إِذْ قُلْتُ: «قَدْ زَلَّتْ قَدَمِي» فَرَحْمَتُكَ يَا رَبُّ تَعْضُدُنِي.

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

عِنْدَ كَثْرَةِ هُمُومِي فِي دَاخِلِي، تَعْزِيَاتُكَ تُلَذِّذُ نَفْسِي.

Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

هَلْ يُعَاهِدُكَ كُرْسِيُّ الْمَفَاسِدِ، الْمُخْتَلِقُ إِثْمًا عَلَى فَرِيضَةٍ؟

They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

يَزْدَحِمُونَ عَلَى نَفْسِ الصِّدِّيقِ، وَيَحْكُمُونَ عَلَى دَمٍ زَكِيٍّ.

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

فَكَانَ الرَّبُّ لِي صَرْحًا، وَإِلهِي صَخْرَةَ مَلْجَإِي.

And 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.

وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِثْمَهُمْ، وَبِشَرِّهِمْ يُفْنِيهِمْ. يُفْنِيهِمُ الرَّبُّ إِلهُنَا.
