Psalms 93

The Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: the God of revenge hath acted freely.

Deus ultionum Dominus; Deus ultionum libere egit.

ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ τετράδι σαββάτων ὁ θεὸς ἐκδικήσεων κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἐκδικήσεων ἐπαρρησιάσατο

Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud.

Exaltare, qui judicas terram; redde retributionem superbis.

ὑψώθητι ὁ κρίνων τὴν γῆν ἀπόδος ἀνταπόδοσιν τοῖς ὑπερηφάνοις

How long shall sinners, O Lord: how long shall sinners glory?

Usquequo peccatores, Domine, usquequo peccatores gloriabuntur;

ἕως πότε ἁμαρτωλοί κύριε ἕως πότε ἁμαρτωλοὶ καυχήσονται

Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: shall all speak who work injustice?

effabuntur et loquentur iniquitatem; loquentur omnes qui operantur injustitiam?

φθέγξονται καὶ λαλήσουσιν ἀδικίαν λαλήσουσιν πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν

Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: and they have afflicted thy inheritance.

Populum tuum, Domine, humiliaverunt, et hæreditatem tuam vexaverunt.

τὸν λαόν σου κύριε ἐταπείνωσαν καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν σου ἐκάκωσαν

They have slain the widow and the stranger: and they have murdered the fatherless.

Viduam et advenam interfecerunt, et pupillos occiderunt.

χήραν καὶ προσήλυτον ἀπέκτειναν καὶ ὀρφανοὺς ἐφόνευσαν

And they have said: The Lord shall not see: neither shall the God of Jacob understand.

Et dixerunt : Non videbit Dominus, nec intelliget Deus Jacob.

καὶ εἶπαν οὐκ ὄψεται κύριος οὐδὲ συνήσει ὁ θεὸς τοῦ Ιακωβ

Understand, ye senseless among the people: and, you fools, be wise at last.

Intelligite, insipientes in populo; et stulti, aliquando sapite.

σύνετε δή ἄφρονες ἐν τῷ λαῷ καί μωροί ποτὲ φρονήσατε

He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?

Qui plantavit aurem non audiet? aut qui finxit oculum non considerat?

ὁ φυτεύσας τὸ οὖς οὐχὶ ἀκούει ἢ ὁ πλάσας τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν οὐ κατανοεῖ

He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: he that teacheth man knowledge?

Qui corripit gentes non arguet, qui docet hominem scientiam?

ὁ παιδεύων ἔθνη οὐχὶ ἐλέγξει ὁ διδάσκων ἄνθρωπον γνῶσιν

The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, that they are vain.

Dominus scit cogitationes hominum, quoniam vanæ sunt.

κύριος γινώσκει τοὺς διαλογισμοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων ὅτι εἰσὶν μάταιοι

Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: and shalt teach him out of thy law.

Beatus homo quem tu erudieris, Domine, et de lege tua docueris eum:

μακάριος ἄνθρωπος ὃν ἂν σὺ παιδεύσῃς κύριε καὶ ἐκ τοῦ νόμου σου διδάξῃς αὐτὸν

That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: till a pit be dug for the wicked.

ut mitiges ei a diebus malis, donec fodiatur peccatori fovea.

τοῦ πραῦναι αὐτῷ ἀφ' ἡμερῶν πονηρῶν ἕως οὗ ὀρυγῇ τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ βόθρος

For the Lord will not cast off his people: neither will he forsake his own inheritance.

Quia non repellet Dominus plebem suam, et hæreditatem suam non derelinquet,

ὅτι οὐκ ἀπώσεται κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐγκαταλείψει

Until justice be turned into judgment: and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.

quoadusque justitia convertatur in judicium : et qui juxta illam, omnes qui recto sunt corde.

ἕως οὗ δικαιοσύνη ἐπιστρέψῃ εἰς κρίσιν καὶ ἐχόμενοι αὐτῆς πάντες οἱ εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ διάψαλμα

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

Quis consurget mihi adversus malignantes? aut quis stabit mecum adversus operantes iniquitatem?

τίς ἀναστήσεταί μοι ἐπὶ πονηρευομένους ἢ τίς συμπαραστήσεταί μοι ἐπὶ ἐργαζομένους τὴν ἀνομίαν

Unless the Lord had been my helper, my soul had almost dwelt in hell.

Nisi quia Dominus adjuvit me, paulominus habitasset in inferno anima mea.

εἰ μὴ ὅτι κύριος ἐβοήθησέν μοι παρὰ βραχὺ παρῴκησεν τῷ ᾅδῃ ἡ ψυχή μου

If I said: My foot is moved: thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.

Si dicebam : Motus est pes meus : misericordia tua, Domine, adjuvabat me.

εἰ ἔλεγον σεσάλευται ὁ πούς μου τὸ ἔλεός σου κύριε βοηθεῖ μοι

According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, thy comforts have given joy to my soul.

Secundum multitudinem dolorum meorum in corde meo, consolationes tuæ lætificaverunt animam meam.

κύριε κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ὀδυνῶν μου ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου αἱ παρακλήσεις σου ἠγάπησαν τὴν ψυχήν μου

Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, who framest labour in commandment?

Numquid adhæret tibi sedes iniquitatis, qui fingis laborem in præcepto?

μὴ συμπροσέσται σοι θρόνος ἀνομίας ὁ πλάσσων κόπον ἐπὶ προστάγματι

They will hunt after the soul of the just, and will condemn innocent blood.

Captabunt in animam justi, et sanguinem innocentem condemnabunt.

θηρεύσουσιν ἐπὶ ψυχὴν δικαίου καὶ αἷμα ἀθῷον καταδικάσονται

But the Lord is my refuge: and my God the help of my hope.

Et factus est mihi Dominus in refugium, et Deus meus in adjutorium spei meæ.

καὶ ἐγένετό μοι κύριος εἰς καταφυγὴν καὶ ὁ θεός μου εἰς βοηθὸν ἐλπίδος μου

And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: the Lord our God will destroy them.

Et reddet illis iniquitatem ipsorum, et in malitia eorum disperdet eos : disperdet illos Dominus Deus noster.

καὶ ἀποδώσει αὐτοῖς τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ τὴν πονηρίαν αὐτῶν ἀφανιεῖ αὐτοὺς κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν
