94 Sinä koston Jumala, Herra, sinä koston Jumala, ilmesty kirkkaudessa.

Nouse, maan tuomari, kosta ylpeille heidän tekonsa.

Kuinka kauan jumalattomat, Herra, kuinka kauan jumalattomat saavat riemuita?

Ne syytävät suustaan julkeita sanoja, ne röyhkeilevät, kaikki nuo väärintekijät.

Sinun kansaasi, Herra, he runtelevat, ja sinun perintöosaasi he rasittavat.

He tappavat leskiä ja muukalaisia ja murhaavat orpoja.

Ja he sanovat: "Ei Herra sitä näe, ei Jaakobin Jumala sitä huomaa".

Ymmärtäkää, te kansan järjettömät, ja te tomppelit - milloin te tulette järkiinne?

Joka on korvan istuttanut, hänkö ei kuulisi? Joka on silmän luonut, hänkö ei näkisi?

10 Joka kansat kasvattaa, hänkö ei rankaisisi, hän, joka ihmisille opettaa tiedon?

11 Herra tuntee ihmisten ajatukset; sillä he ovat kuin tuulen henkäys.

12 Autuas se mies, jota sinä, Herra, kuritat ja jolle sinä opetat lakisi,

13 antaaksesi hänelle rauhan pahoilta päiviltä, kunnes jumalattomalle on kaivettu hauta!

14 Sillä Herra ei hylkää kansaansa eikä perintöosaansa heitä,

15 vaan oikeus on vielä noudattava vanhurskautta, ja kaikki oikeamieliset seuraavat sitä.

16 Kuka nousee minun puolelleni pahoja vastaan, kuka asettuu minun rinnalleni väärintekijöitä vastaan?

17 Ellei Herra olisi minun apuni, pian minun sieluni asuisi hiljaisuuden maassa.

18 Kun minä ajattelen: "Minun jalkani horjuu", niin sinun armosi, Herra, minua tukee.

19 Kun minulla on sydämessäni paljon murheita, niin sinun lohdutuksesi ilahuttaa minun sieluni.

20 Onko yhteyttä sinun kanssasi turmion tuomioistuimella, jossa väkivaltaa tehdään lain varjolla,

21 ahdistetaan vanhurskaan sielua ja tuomitaan syylliseksi viaton veri?

22 Mutta Herra on minun linnani, Jumalani on minun suojakallioni.

23 Hän kostaa heille heidän ilkityönsä ja hukuttaa heidät heidän pahuutensa tähden. Herra, meidän Jumalamme, hukuttaa heidät.

Psalm 94

The Lord is a God who avenges.(A)
    O God who avenges, shine forth.(B)
Rise up,(C) Judge(D) of the earth;
    pay back(E) to the proud what they deserve.
How long, Lord, will the wicked,
    how long will the wicked be jubilant?(F)

They pour out arrogant(G) words;
    all the evildoers are full of boasting.(H)
They crush your people,(I) Lord;
    they oppress your inheritance.(J)
They slay the widow(K) and the foreigner;
    they murder the fatherless.(L)
They say, “The Lord does not see;(M)
    the God of Jacob(N) takes no notice.”

Take notice, you senseless ones(O) among the people;
    you fools, when will you become wise?
Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?
    Does he who formed the eye not see?(P)
10 Does he who disciplines(Q) nations not punish?
    Does he who teaches(R) mankind lack knowledge?
11 The Lord knows all human plans;(S)
    he knows that they are futile.(T)

12 Blessed is the one you discipline,(U) Lord,
    the one you teach(V) from your law;
13 you grant them relief from days of trouble,(W)
    till a pit(X) is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not reject his people;(Y)
    he will never forsake his inheritance.
15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,(Z)
    and all the upright in heart(AA) will follow it.

16 Who will rise up(AB) for me against the wicked?
    Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?(AC)
17 Unless the Lord had given me help,(AD)
    I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.(AE)
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,(AF)
    your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
19 When anxiety(AG) was great within me,
    your consolation(AH) brought me joy.

20 Can a corrupt throne(AI) be allied with you—
    a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?(AJ)
21 The wicked band together(AK) against the righteous
    and condemn the innocent(AL) to death.(AM)
22 But the Lord has become my fortress,
    and my God the rock(AN) in whom I take refuge.(AO)
23 He will repay(AP) them for their sins
    and destroy(AQ) them for their wickedness;
    the Lord our God will destroy them.

94 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

23 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.
