上帝是审判者

94 耶和华啊,你是申冤的上帝;
申冤的上帝啊,
求你彰显你的荣光。
审判世界的主啊,
求你起来使骄傲人受到应得的报应。
耶和华啊,
恶人洋洋得意,要到何时呢?
要到何时呢?
他们大放厥词,狂妄自大。
耶和华啊,他们压迫你的子民,
苦害你的产业。
他们谋害寡妇、外族人和孤儿,
并说:“耶和华看不见,
雅各的上帝不会知道。”

愚昧的人啊,你们要思想;
无知的人啊,你们何时才能明白呢?
难道创造耳朵的上帝听不见吗?
难道创造眼睛的上帝看不见吗?
10 管教列国的上帝难道不惩罚你们吗?
赐知识的上帝难道不知道吗?
11 耶和华洞悉人的思想,
祂知道人的思想虚妄,

12 耶和华啊,蒙你管教并用律法训诲的人有福了!
13 你使他们在患难中有平安,
恶人终必灭亡。
14 耶和华不会丢弃祂的子民,
也不会遗弃祂的产业。
15 公正的审判必重现,
心地正直的人都必拥护。

16 谁肯为我奋起攻击恶人?
谁肯为我起来抵挡作恶的人?
17 耶和华若不帮助我,
我早已归入死亡的沉寂中了。
18 我说:“我要倒下了!”
耶和华啊,你便以慈爱扶助我。
19 当我忧心忡忡的时候,
你的抚慰带给我欢乐。

20 借律例制造不幸的首领,
岂能与你联盟?
21 他们结党攻击义人,
残害无辜。
22 但耶和华是我的堡垒,
我的上帝是保护我的磐石。
23 祂必使恶人自食恶果,
因他们的罪恶而毁灭他们。
我们的上帝耶和华必毁灭他们。

94 Dieu des vengeances, Éternel! Dieu des vengeances, parais!

Lève-toi, juge de la terre! Rends aux superbes selon leurs oeuvres!

Jusques à quand les méchants, ô Éternel! Jusques à quand les méchants triompheront-ils?

Ils discourent, ils parlent avec arrogance; Tous ceux qui font le mal se glorifient.

Éternel! ils écrasent ton peuple, Ils oppriment ton héritage;

Ils égorgent la veuve et l'étranger, Ils assassinent les orphelins.

Et ils disent: L'Éternel ne regarde pas, Le Dieu de Jacob ne fait pas attention!

Prenez-y garde, hommes stupides! Insensés, quand serez-vous sages?

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.

94 Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs,
    you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.
Rise up, you judge of the earth.
    Pay back the proud what they deserve.
Yahweh, how long will the wicked,
    how long will the wicked triumph?
They pour out arrogant words.
    All the evildoers boast.
They break your people in pieces, Yahweh,
    and afflict your heritage.
They kill the widow and the alien,
    and murder the fatherless.
They say, “Yah will not see,
    neither will Jacob’s God consider.”
Consider, you senseless among the people;
    you fools, when will you be wise?
He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear?
    He who formed the eye, won’t he see?
10 He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish?
    He who teaches man knows.
11 Yahweh knows the thoughts of man,
    that they are futile.
12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah,
    and teach out of your law,
13 that you may give him rest from the days of adversity,
    until the pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For Yahweh won’t reject his people,
    neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 For judgment will return to righteousness.
    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 the evildoers?
17 Unless Yahweh had been my help,
    my soul would have soon lived in silence.
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping!”
    Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me,
    your comforts delight my soul.
20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you,
    which brings about mischief by statute?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,
    and condemn the innocent blood.
22 But Yahweh has been my high tower,
    my God, the rock of my refuge.
23 He has brought on them their own iniquity,
    and will cut them off in their own wickedness.
    Yahweh, our God, will cut them off.

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.
