1Dio delle vendette, o Signore, Dio delle vendette, mòstrati nel tuo fulgore!2Ergiti, giudice della terra, rendi ai superbi quello che si meritano!3Fino a quando gli empi, o Signore, fino a quando gli empi trionferanno?4Fanno discorsi arroganti, tutti i malfattori si vantano.5Schiacciano il tuo popolo, o Signore, e opprimono la tua eredità.6Uccidono la vedova e lo straniero, ammazzano gli orfani.7Dicono: «Il Signore non vede, il Dio di Giacobbe non se ne preoccupa».8Cercate di capire, uomini stolti! E voi, sciocchi, quando sarete saggi?9Colui che ha fatto l’orecchio forse non ode? Colui che ha formato l’occhio forse non vede?10Colui che ammonisce le nazioni non saprà pure castigarle, lui che impartisce all’uomo la conoscenza?11Il Signore conosce i pensieri dell’uomo, sa che sono vani.12Beato l’uomo che tu correggi, o Signore, e istruisci con la tua legge13per dargli sollievo nei giorni dell’avversità, finché la fossa sia scavata per l’empio.14Poiché il Signore non ripudierà il suo popolo e non abbandonerà la sua eredità.15Il giudizio sarà di nuovo conforme a giustizia e tutti i retti di cuore lo seguiranno.16Chi sorgerà per me contro i malvagi? Chi sarà al mio fianco contro i malfattori?17Se il Signore non fosse stato il mio aiuto, a quest’ora l’anima mia abiterebbe il luogo del silenzio.18Quando ho detto: «Il mio piede vacilla», la tua bontà, o Signore, mi ha sostenuto.19Quando ero turbato da grandi preoccupazioni, il tuo conforto ha alleviato l’anima mia.20Il trono dell’ingiustizia ti avrà forse come complice? Esso, che trama oppressioni in nome della legge?21Si avventano insieme contro l’anima del giusto e condannano il sangue innocente.22Ma il Signore è il mio riparo, e il mio Dio è la rocca in cui mi rifugio.23Egli farà ricadere su di essi la loro malvagità e li distruggerà per la loro malizia; il Signore, il nostro Dio, li distruggerà.
1Gott der Rache[1], HERR, Gott der Rache[2], strahle hervor! (De 32,35; Sal 50,2; Ger 51,6; Na 1,2)2Erhebe dich, Richter der Erde, vergilt den Hochmütigen ihr Tun! (Giob 40,11; Sal 82,8; Is 2,12)3Bis wann werden die Gottlosen, HERR, bis wann werden die Gottlosen jubeln,4übersprudeln, Freches reden, werden sich rühmen alle Übeltäter? (1Sam 2,3; Giob 20,5; Sal 125,5)5Dein Volk, HERR, zertreten sie, dein Eigentum[3] bedrücken sie.6Die Witwe und den Fremden bringen sie um, die Waisen ermorden sie. (Is 10,2; Ez 22,7)7Sie sagen: Jah sieht es nicht! Der Gott Jakobs merkt es nicht! (Sal 10,11)8Habt Einsicht, ihr Unvernünftigen unter dem Volk! Ihr Toren, wann werdet ihr verständig werden? (Prov 1,22)9Der das Ohr gestaltet[4] hat, sollte der nicht hören? Der das Auge gebildet hat, sollte der nicht sehen? (Sal 34,16; Prov 20,12)10Der die Nationen unterweist, sollte der nicht zurechtweisen? – er, der Erkenntnis lehrt den Menschen? (Giob 28,28; Prov 2,6; Ez 39,21; 2Ti 2,7)11Der HERR kennt die Gedanken des Menschen, dass sie ein Hauch[5] sind. (Sal 44,22; Giov 2,24; 1Co 3,20)12Glücklich der Mann, den du züchtigst, Jah, den du belehrst aus deinem Gesetz, (Giob 5,17; Sal 119,71)13um ihm Ruhe zu geben vor den bösen Tagen, bis dem Gottlosen die Grube gegraben wird! (Is 26,20)14Denn der HERR wird sein Volk nicht verstoßen, er wird sein Erbteil nicht verlassen. (1Sam 12,22; Sal 74,2; Ro 11,1)15Denn zur Gerechtigkeit wird zurückkehren das Recht[6] und hinter ihm her alle, die von Herzen aufrichtig sind. (Sal 58,12)16Wer wird für mich aufstehen gegen die Übeltäter? Wer wird für mich auftreten gegen die, die Böses tun? (Sal 118,6)17Wäre der HERR mir nicht eine Hilfe gewesen, so hätte wenig gefehlt, und meine Seele hätte im Schweigen[7] gelegen.18Wenn ich sagte: Mein Fuß wankt!, so unterstützte mich deine Gnade, HERR. (Sal 37,24)19Als viele unruhige Gedanken in mir ⟨waren⟩, erfreuten deine Tröstungen meine Seele. (Lam 3,20)20Sollte mit dir verbündet sein der Thron des Verderbens, der Unheil schafft gegen die Ordnung? (Prov 28,9)21Sie rotten sich gegen die Seele des Gerechten zusammen, und unschuldiges Blut sprechen sie schuldig. (Eso 23,7; Mat 27,24; Giac 5,6)22Doch der HERR wurde mir zur Burg, mein Gott zum Fels meiner Zuflucht. (Sal 62,8)23Er lässt ihre Ungerechtigkeit zu ihnen zurückkehren, und in ihrer Bosheit wird er sie zum Schweigen bringen[8]. Zum Schweigen bringen wird sie der HERR, unser Gott. (Prov 5,23)
Salmo 94
King James Version
1O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.2Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.3LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?4How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?5They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.6They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.7Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it .8Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?9He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?10He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know ?11The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.12Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;13That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.14For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.15But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?17Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.18When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.19In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.20Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.22But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.23And 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.
1O Lord, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth! (De 32,35; De 32,41; De 32,43; Sal 50,2; Is 35,4; Ger 51,56; Na 1,2; Ro 12,19)2Rise up, O judge of the earth; repay to the proud what they deserve! (Sal 7,6; Sal 58,11; Lu 1,51)3O Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult? (Giob 20,5; Sal 74,10; Ap 6,10)4They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers boast. (1Sam 2,3; Sal 31,18; Sal 92,7; Sal 92,9; Sal 125,5; Giuda 1,15)5They crush your people, O Lord, and afflict your heritage. (Prov 22,22; Is 3,15)6They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless; (Is 10,2)7and they say, “The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive.” (Giob 22,13)8Understand, O dullest of the people! Fools, when will you be wise? (Sal 49,10)9He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see? (Eso 4,11; Prov 20,12)10He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge— (Giob 12,23; Giob 35,11)11the Lord—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.[1] (Sal 30,5; Sal 30,11; 1Co 3,20)12Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O Lord, and whom you teach out of your law, (De 8,5; Giob 5,17; Prov 3,11; 1Co 11,32; Eb 12,5)13to give him rest from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked. (Giob 34,29; Sal 49,5; Sal 55,23)14For the Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage; (De 32,9; 1Sam 12,22; Ro 11,2)15for justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it. (1Sam 12,14; 1Re 14,8; Is 42,3)16Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers? (Sal 12,5)17If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence. (Sal 31,17; Sal 124,1)18When I thought, “My foot slips,” your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up. (Sal 20,2; Sal 38,16; Sal 73,2)19When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.20Can wicked rulers be allied with you, those who frame[2] injustice by statute? (Sal 50,16; Sal 58,2; Is 10,1; Am 6,3)21They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.[3] (Mat 27,1; Mat 27,4)22But the Lord has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge. (Sal 9,9; Sal 14,6; Sal 18,2)23He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the Lord our God will wipe them out. (Sal 7,16; Sal 34,21; Sal 92,9; Prov 2,22)
