Глава 94

  • 1. God of vengeance -- Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.
  • 2. Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.
  • 3. Till when `do' the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?
  • 4. They utter -- they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.
  • 5. Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.
  • 6. Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.
  • 7. And they say, `Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.'
  • 8. Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?
  • 9. He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?
  • 10. He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge `is' Jehovah.
  • 11. He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they `are' vanity.
  • 12. O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,
  • 13. To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.
  • 14. For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.
  • 15. For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart,
  • 16. Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity?
  • 17. Unless Jehovah `were' a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.
  • 18. If I have said, `My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.
  • 19. In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
  • 20. Is a throne of mischief joined `with' Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?
  • 21. They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.
  • 22. And Jehovah is for a high place to me, And my God `is' for a rock -- my refuge,
  • 23. And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off!
