PSAL. XCIV.
O Lord God to whom vengeince belongeth:
O God to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thy self.
O Lord our God to whom belongs the vengeance as most due,
O Lord to whom the vengeance is, thy self now do thou shew.
2 Lift up thy self thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 Lord, how long shall the wicked? how long shall the wicked triumph?
2 Lift up thy self Judge of the earth: reward the proud also.
3 How long, Lord shall ill men? How long shall ill men triumph so?
4 How long shall they utter, and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquitie boast themselves?
4 How long time shall they utter thus, and speak things hard that be,
And all those likewise boast themselves that work iniquitie?
5 They break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and afflict thine heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger: and murther the fatherlesse.
5 Lord, they in pieces break thy folk and heritage distresse:
6 The widow they and stranger slay, and murder fatherlesse.
7 Yet they say, The Lord shall not see: neither shall the God of Iacob regard it.
8 Understand, O ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
7 Yet God shall not regard, say they, nor Jacobs God it see:
8 Ye brutish people understand, fools when wise will ye be?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
9 Shall he that planted hath the ear not hear how all things be?
And he that formed hath the eye shall he himself not see?
10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, … not he know.
10 He that the heathen doth chastise, correct shall he not now?
And he that knowledge teacheth man, shall he himself not know?
11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord: and teachest out of thy law:
11 That thoughts of men are vanity the Lord himself he saw:
12 Blest is the man thou chastnest, Lord, and teachest from thy law.
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, untill the pit be digged for the wicked.
13 That thou mayst give him rest from days of great adversitie,
Untill that for the wicked man the pit it digged be,
14 For the Lord will not cast off his people: neither will he forsake his inheritance.
14 For sure the Lord will not cast off those that his people be,
Nor yet his own inheritance forsake at all will he.
15 But judgement shall return unto righteousnesse: and all the upright in heart shall sollow it.
15 But judgement shall return again unto that which is right,
And all shall follow after it that are in heart upright.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evill doers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
16 Who will for me 'gainst them rise up that doers are of ill,
'Gainst them that work iniquity, who stand up for me will.
17 Unlesse the Lord had been my help: m… soul had almost dwelt in silence.
17 Unlesse the Lord had been to me a help, as I have felt,
My soul with trouble vexed had almost in silence dwelt.
18 When I said my foot slippeth: thy merciemercy, O Lord, held me up.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me, thy comforts delight my soul.
18 When, Lord, I said, my foot doth slip, thy mercy held me right:
19 Thy comforts in my many thoughts they do my soul delight.
20 Shall the throne of iniquitie have followship with thee, which frames mischief by a law?
20 Shall thus of great iniquity the throne without all aw
Have fellowship with thee, which frames mischief, ev'n by a law?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous: and condemn the innocent bloud.
21 Themselves together gather they against the souls of men
That righteous are; and they the blood that's innocent condemne.
22 But the Lord is my defence: and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 And he shall bring upon them their own ini…uity.
22 But God is my defence, my God rock of refuge is hy,
23 And he upon them all shall bring their own iniquity.
And shall cut them off in their own wickednesse: yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off▪
And als in their own wickednesse he …all cut off them all:
Yea, he that is the Lord our God them so cut off he shall.

8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wildernesse:
8 Your hearts not harden ye, as in the provocation,
And as in desert in the day of the temptation.
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10 Fourty yeers long was I grievd with this generation,
9 When me your fathers tempted prov'd, and als my work did see:
10 I with this race long fourty years was grieved made to be.
And said, it is a people that do erre in their hearts: and they have not known my wayes.
11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath: that they should not enter into my rest.
I said, this people erres in heart, they have not known my way:
11 To whom I sware in wrath that in my rest not go should they.
