Salme 94
Bibelen på hverdagsdansk
Herren er dommer
94 Herre, du er en retfærdig dommer.
Vis din herlighed ved at dømme de skyldige.
2 Afsig din dom over menneskene,
lad de stolte få den straf, de fortjener.
3 Åh, Herre, hvor længe skal de onde hovere,
hvor længe får de lov til at gå fri?
4 De udspyr trusler til alle sider,
de bryster sig af deres evindelige ondskab.
5 Herre, de undertrykker dit udvalgte folk,
de plager dem, der tilhører dig.
6 De myrder både enker og de fremmede i landet,
de dræber de forældreløse børn.
7 De siger, at du slet ikke ser det,
at Israels Gud ikke opdager, hvad de gør.
8 Tænk jer dog om, I tåber!
Fatter I da slet ingenting?
9 Er han, som skabte øjet, ikke i stand til at se?
Er han, som skabte øret, ikke i stand til at høre?
10 Er han, som styrer verden, ikke i stand til at straffe?
Han, som giver mennesker kundskab,
har kendskab til alt.
11 Han kender menneskenes tanker,
han ved, at de er uden værdi.
12 Det er en velsignelse at blive irettesat af Herren,
for man lærer at adlyde hans lov.
13 Man slipper for en masse problemer,
og han overvinder alle ens fjender.
14 Herren vil ikke forkaste sit folk,
han lader ikke sine egne i stikken.
15 Retfærdigheden skal sejre til sidst,
de retskafne længes efter at se det ske.
16 Hvem beskyttede mig mod de onde?
Hvem skærmede mig mod forbryderne?
17 Havde Herren ikke hjulpet mig,
havde det været ude med mig.
18 Da jeg råbte til dig i min nød,
hjalp du mig, Herre, for du er trofast.
19 Når bekymringerne vælter ind over mig,
så styrker du mig og giver mig nyt mod.
20 De onde regenter gør oprør imod dig,
når de vedtager uretfærdige love.
21 De anklager retskafne mennesker
og dømmer uskyldige til døden.
22 Men Herren er min tilflugt,
min Gud vil beskytte mig.
23 Han straffer de onde på grund af deres synd,
han udrydder dem på grund af deres ondskab.
Herren, vor Gud, vil gøre det af med dem.
Psalm 94
New King James Version
God the Refuge of the Righteous
94 O Lord God, (A)to whom vengeance belongs—
O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!
2 Rise up, O (B)Judge of the earth;
[a]Render punishment to the proud.
3 Lord, (C)how long will the wicked,
How long will the wicked triumph?
4 They (D)utter speech, and speak insolent things;
All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.
5 They break in pieces Your people, O Lord,
And afflict Your heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger,
And murder the fatherless.
7 (E)Yet they say, “The Lord does not see,
Nor does the God of Jacob [b]understand.”
8 Understand, you senseless among the people;
And you fools, when will you be wise?
9 (F)He who planted the ear, shall He not hear?
He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
10 He who [c]instructs the [d]nations, shall He not correct,
He who teaches man knowledge?
11 The Lord (G)knows the thoughts of man,
That they are futile.
12 Blessed is the man whom You (H)instruct, O Lord,
And teach out of Your law,
13 That You may give him [e]rest from the days of adversity,
Until the pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not [f]cast off His people,
Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
15 But judgment will return to righteousness,
And all the upright in heart will follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Unless the Lord had been my help,
My soul would soon have settled in silence.
18 If I say, “My foot slips,”
Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up.
19 In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
Your comforts delight my soul.
20 Shall (I)the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law,
Have fellowship with You?
21 They gather together against the life of the righteous,
And condemn (J)innocent blood.
22 But the Lord has been my defense,
And my God the rock of my refuge.
23 He has brought on them their own iniquity,
And shall [g]cut them off in their own wickedness;
The Lord our God shall cut them off.

English Standard Version
The Lord Will Not Forsake His People
94 O Lord, God of (A)vengeance,
O God of vengeance, (B)shine forth!
2 (C)Rise up, O (D)judge of the earth;
repay to the (E)proud what they deserve!
3 O Lord, (F)how long shall the wicked,
how long shall (G)the wicked exult?
4 They pour out their (H)arrogant words;
all (I)the evildoers boast.
5 They (J)crush your people, O Lord,
and afflict your heritage.
6 They kill (K)the widow and the sojourner,
and murder (L)the fatherless;
7 (M)and they say, “The Lord does not see;
the God of Jacob does not perceive.”
8 (N)Understand, O dullest of the people!
Fools, when will you be wise?
9 (O)He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?
10 He who (P)disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke?
He who (Q)teaches man knowledge—
11 (R)the Lord—knows the thoughts of man,
that they are (S)but a breath.[a]
12 (T)Blessed is the man whom you (U)discipline, O Lord,
and whom you teach out of your law,
13 to give him (V)rest from (W)days of trouble,
until (X)a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 (Y)For the Lord will not forsake his (Z)people;
he will not abandon his (AA)heritage;
15 for (AB)justice will return to the righteous,
and all the upright in heart will (AC)follow it.
16 (AD)Who rises up for me against the wicked?
Who stands up for me against evildoers?
17 (AE)If the Lord had not been my help,
my soul would soon have lived in the land of (AF)silence.
18 When I thought, (AG)“My foot slips,”
your steadfast love, O Lord, (AH)held me up.
19 When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul.
20 Can (AI)wicked rulers be allied with you,
those who frame[b] injustice by (AJ)statute?
21 They (AK)band together against the life of the righteous
and condemn (AL)the innocent to death.[c]
22 But the Lord has become my (AM)stronghold,
and my God (AN)the rock of my (AO)refuge.
23 He will bring back on them (AP)their iniquity
and (AQ)wipe them out for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will wipe them out.
