Psalms 93

¹To David himself, in the fourth of the sabbath. Our Lord God of revenges: the God of revenges hath done freely.

²Be exalted thou that judgest the earth: render retribution to the proud.

³How long shall sinners, o Lord: how long shall sinners glory?

⁴Shall they utter, and speak iniquity? Shall all they speak that work injustice?

⁵Thy people, o Lord, they have humbled: and thine inheritance they have vexed.

⁶The widow, and the stranger they have slain: and the pupils they have killed.

⁷And they have said: The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob understand.

⁸Understand ye foolish in the people: and ye fools be wise at sometime.

⁹He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? Or he that made the eye doth he not consider?

¹⁰He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: he that teacheth man knowledge?

¹¹Our Lord knoweth the cogitations of men: that they be vain.

¹²Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, o Lord, and shalt teach out of thy law.

¹³That thou mayst give him quietness from the evil days: till a pit be digged for the sinner.

¹⁴Because our Lord will not reject his people: and his inheritance he will not forsake.

¹⁵Until justice be turned into judgment: and they who are near it, are all that are right of heart.

¹⁶Who shall rise for me against the malignant? Or who shall stand with me against them that work iniquity?

¹⁷But that our Lord hath holpen me: within very little my soul had dwelt in hell.

¹⁸If I said: My foot is moved: thy mercy, o Lord, did help me.

¹⁹According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart: thy consolations have made my soul joyful.

²⁰Doth the seat of iniquity cleave to thee: which makest labour in precept?

²¹They will hunt after the soul of the just: and will condemn innocent blood.

²²And our Lord became my refuge: and my God the help of my hope.

²³And he will repay them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: the Lord our God will destroy them.
