Salmos, 94

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

1. O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.

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

2. Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.

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

3. LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?

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

4. [How long] shall they utter [and] speak hard things? [and] all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

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

5. They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.

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

6. They slay the widow and the stranger, 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. Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard [it].

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

8. Understand, ye brutish among the people: and [ye] fools, when will ye be wise?

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

9. He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall 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 that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, [shall not he know]?

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

11. The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.

12.

12. Blessed [is] the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

13.

13. That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

14.

14. For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

15.

15. But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

16.

16. Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? [or] who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

17.

17. Unless the LORD [had been] my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

18.

18. When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.

19.

19. In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.

20.

20. Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

21.

21. They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

22.

22. But the LORD is my defence; and my God [is] the rock of my refuge.

23.

23. And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; [yea], the LORD our God shall cut them off.
