Salmos, 94

1. Vinde, manifestemos nossa alegria ao Senhor, aclamemos o rochedo de nossa salvação;*

1. O LORD, thou God of vengeance, thou God of vengeance, shine forth!

2. apresentemo-nos diante dele com louvores, e cantemos-lhe alegres cânticos,

2. Rise up, O judge of the earth; render to the proud their deserts!

3. porque o Senhor é um Deus imenso, um rei que ultrapassa todos os deuses;

3. O LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?

4. nas suas mãos estão as profundezas da terra, e os cumes das montanhas lhe pertencem.

4. They pour out their arrogant words, they boast, all the evildoers.

5. Dele é o mar, ele o criou, assim como a terra firme, obra de suas mãos.

5. They crush thy people, O LORD, and afflict thy heritage.

6. Vinde, inclinemo-nos em adoração, de joelhos diante do Senhor que nos criou.

6. They slay the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless;

7. Ele é nosso Deus; nós somos o povo de que ele é o pastor, as ovelhas que as suas mãos conduzem. Oxalá ouvísseis hoje a sua voz:*

7. and they say, "The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive."

8. “Não vos torneis endurecidos como em Meriba, como no dia de Massa no deserto,*

8. Understand, O dullest of the people! Fools, when will you be wise?

9. onde vossos pais me provocaram e me tentaram, apesar de terem visto as minhas obras.

9. He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see?

10. Durante quarenta anos desgostou-me aquela geração, e eu disse: “É um povo de coração desviado, que não conhece os meus desígnios.

10. He who chastens the nations, does he not chastise? He who teaches men knowledge,

11. Por isso, jurei na minha cólera: Não hão de entrar no lugar do meu repouso”.

11. the LORD, knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.

12.

12. Blessed is the man whom thou dost chasten, O LORD, and whom thou dost teach out of thy law

13.

13. to give him respite from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.

14.

14. For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage;

15.

15. for justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.

16.

16. Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers?

17.

17. If the LORD had not been my help, my soul would soon have dwelt in the land of silence.

18.

18. When I thought, "My foot slips," thy steadfast love, O LORD, held me up.

19.

19. When the cares of my heart are many, thy consolations cheer my soul.

20.

20. Can wicked rulers be allied with thee, who frame mischief by statute?

21.

21. They band together against the life of the righteous, and condemn the innocent to death.

22.

22. But the LORD has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.

23.

23. He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the LORD our God will wipe them out.
