Psaumes 94

94 Dieu des vengeances, Éternel! Dieu des vengeances, parais!
2 Lève-toi, juge de la terre! Rends aux superbes selon leurs oeuvres!
3 Jusques à quand les méchants, ô Éternel! Jusques à quand les méchants triompheront-ils?
4 Ils discourent, ils parlent avec arrogance; Tous ceux qui font le mal se glorifient.
5 Éternel! ils écrasent ton peuple, Ils oppriment ton héritage;
6 Ils égorgent la veuve et l'étranger, Ils assassinent les orphelins.
7 Et ils disent: L'Éternel ne regarde pas, Le Dieu de Jacob ne fait pas attention!
8 Prenez-y garde, hommes stupides! Insensés, quand serez-vous sages?
9 Celui qui a planté l'oreille n'entendrait-il pas? Celui qui a formé l'oeil ne verrait-il pas?
10 Celui qui châtie les nations ne punirait-il point, Lui qui donne à l'homme l'intelligence?
11 L'Éternel connaît les pensées de l'homme, Il sait qu'elles sont vaines.
12 Heureux l'homme que tu châties, ô Éternel! Et que tu instruis par ta loi,
13 Pour le calmer aux jours du malheur, Jusqu'à ce que la fosse soit creusée pour le méchant!
14 Car l'Éternel ne délaisse pas son peuple, Il n'abandonne pas son héritage;
15 Car le jugement sera conforme à la justice, Et tous ceux dont le coeur est droit l'approuveront.
16 Qui se lèvera pour moi contre les méchants? Qui me soutiendra contre ceux qui font le mal?
17 Si l'Éternel n'était pas mon secours, Mon âme serait bien vite dans la demeure du silence.
18 Quand je dis: Mon pied chancelle! Ta bonté, ô Éternel! me sert d'appui.
19 Quand les pensées s'agitent en foule au dedans de moi, Tes consolations réjouissent mon âme.
20 Les méchants te feraient-ils siéger sur leur trône, Eux qui forment des desseins iniques en dépit de la loi?
21 Ils se rassemblent contre la vie du juste, Et ils condamnent le sang innocent.
22 Mais l'Éternel est ma retraite, Mon Dieu est le rocher de mon refuge.
23 Il fera retomber sur eux leur iniquité, Il les anéantira par leur méchanceté; L'Éternel, notre Dieu, les anéantira.

Psalm 94
1 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongs;
O God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth.
2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth;
render to the proud what they deserve.
3 O Lord, how long shall the wicked,
how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 They spew forth their arrogant words;
all those who do iniquity boast.
5 They break in pieces Your people, O Lord,
and afflict Your inheritance.
6 They kill the widow and the sojourner,
and murder the fatherless.
7 Yet they say, “The Lord does not see,
neither does the God of Jacob regard it.”
8 Understand, you brutish among the people;
fools, when will you be wise?
9 He who made the ear, shall He not hear?
He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
10 He who chastises the nations, shall He not correct?
He teaches people knowledge!
11 The Lord, He knows the thoughts of people,
that they are a breath.
12 Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O Lord,
and teach from Your law,
13 that You may give him rest from the days of adversity,
until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not forsake His people;
neither will He abandon His inheritance.
15 But justice shall return to those who are righteous,
and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked?
Who will stand up for me against those who do iniquity?
17 Unless the Lord had been my help,
my soul would have lived in the land of silent death.
18 When I said, “My foot slips,”
Your mercy, O Lord, held me up.
19 When there is a multitude of worries within me,
Your comforts delight my soul.
20 Shall wicked rulers, who make oppressive laws,
align with You?
21 They conspire together against the life of the righteous
and condemn innocent blood to death.
22 But the Lord is my defense,
and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 He shall bring upon them their own iniquity
and shall cut them off for their own wickedness;
yes, the Lord our God shall destroy them.

Psalm 94
1 The Lord is a God who avenges.(A)
O God who avenges, shine forth.(B)
2 Rise up,(C) Judge(D) of the earth;
pay back(E) to the proud what they deserve.
3 How long, Lord, will the wicked,
how long will the wicked be jubilant?(F)
4 They pour out arrogant(G) words;
all the evildoers are full of boasting.(H)
5 They crush your people,(I) Lord;
they oppress your inheritance.(J)
6 They slay the widow(K) and the foreigner;
they murder the fatherless.(L)
7 They say, “The Lord does not see;(M)
the God of Jacob(N) takes no notice.”
8 Take notice, you senseless ones(O) among the people;
you fools, when will you become wise?
9 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.
