Psalms 74
1 “A psalm of Asaph.” O God! why hast thou cast us off for ever? Why doth thine anger smoke against the flock of thy pasture?
intellectus Asaph ut quid Deus reppulisti in finem iratus est furor tuus super oves pascuae tuae
2 Remember the people which thou didst purchase of old; Thine own inheritance, which thou didst redeem; That Mount Zion, where thou once didst dwell!
memor esto congregationis tuae quam possedisti ab initio redemisti virgam hereditatis tuae mons Sion in quo habitasti in eo
3 Hasten thy steps to those utter desolations! Every thing in the sanctuary hath the enemy abused!
leva manus tuas in superbias eorum in finem quanta malignatus est inimicus in sancto
4 Thine enemies roar in the place of thine assemblies; Their own symbols have they set up for signs.
et gloriati sunt qui oderunt te in medio sollemnitatis tuae posuerunt signa sua signa
5 They appear like those who raise the axe against a thicket;
et non cognoverunt sicut in exitu super summum quasi in silva lignorum securibus
6 They have broken down the carved work of thy temple with axes and hammers;
exciderunt ianuas eius in id ipsum in securi et ascia deiecerunt eam
7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary; They have profaned, and cast to the ground, the dwelling-place of thy name.
incenderunt igni sanctuarium tuum in terra polluerunt tabernaculum nominis tui
8 They said in their hearts, “Let us destroy them all together!” They have burned all God's places of assembly in the land.
dixerunt in corde suo cognatio eorum simul quiescere faciamus omnes dies festos Dei a terra
9 We no longer see our signs; There is no prophet among us, Nor any one that knoweth how long this desolation shall endure.
signa nostra non vidimus iam non est propheta et nos non cognoscet amplius
10 How long, O God! shall the adversary revile? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
usquequo Deus inproperabit inimicus inritat adversarius nomen tuum in finem
11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? Take it from thy bosom, and destroy!
ut quid avertis manum tuam et dexteram tuam de medio sinu tuo in finem
12 Yet God was our king of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Deus autem rex noster ante saeculum operatus est salutes in medio terrae
13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy power; Thou didst crush the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
tu confirmasti in virtute tua mare contribulasti capita draconum in aquis
14 Thou didst break in pieces the head of the crocodile; Thou gavest him for food to the inhabitants of the desert.
tu confregisti capita draconis dedisti eum escam populis Aethiopum
15 Thou didst cleave forth the fountain and the stream; Thou didst dry up perennial rivers.
tu disrupisti fontem et torrentes tu siccasti fluvios Aetham;
16 Thine is the day, and thine the night; Thou didst prepare the light and the sun.
tuus est dies et tua est nox tu fabricatus es auroram et solem
17 Thou didst establish all the boundaries of the earth; Thou didst make summer and winter.
tu fecisti omnes terminos terrae aestatem et ver tu plasmasti ea
18 O remember that the enemy hath reviled Jehovah; That an impious people hath blasphemed thy name!
memor esto huius inimicus inproperavit Dominum et populus insipiens incitavit nomen tuum
19 Give not up the life of thy turtle-dove to the wild beast; Forget not for ever thine afflicted people!
ne tradas bestiis animam confitentem tibi animas pauperum tuorum ne obliviscaris in finem
20 Have regard to thy covenant! For all the dark places of the land are full of the abodes of cruelty.
respice in testamentum tuum quia repleti sunt qui obscurati sunt terrae domibus iniquitatum
21 O let not the afflicted go away ashamed! Let the poor and needy praise thy name!
ne avertatur humilis factus confusus pauper et inops laudabunt nomen tuum
22 Arise, O God! maintain thy cause! Remember how the impious revileth thee daily!
exsurge Deus iudica causam tuam memor esto inproperiorum tuorum eorum qui ab insipiente sunt tota die
23 Forget not the clamor of thine adversaries, —The noise of thine enemies, which continually increaseth!
ne obliviscaris voces inimicorum tuorum superbia eorum qui te oderunt ascendit semper
