Psalmorum 74
1 intellectus Asaph ut quid Deus reppulisti in finem iratus est furor tuus super oves pascuae tuae
O God, why have thou cast off forever? Why does thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 memor esto congregationis tuae quam possedisti ab initio redemisti virgam hereditatis tuae mons Sion in quo habitasti in eo
Remember thy congregation, which thou have gotten of old, which thou have redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance, and mount Zion, at which thou have dwelt.
3 leva manus tuas in superbias eorum in finem quanta malignatus est inimicus in sancto
Lift up thy feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
4 et gloriati sunt qui oderunt te in medio sollemnitatis tuae posuerunt signa sua signa
Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly. They have set up their ensigns for signs.
5 et non cognoverunt sicut in exitu super summum quasi in silva lignorum securibus
They seemed as men who lifted up axes upon a thicket of trees.
6 exciderunt ianuas eius in id ipsum in securi et ascia deiecerunt eam
And now they break down all the carved work of it with hatchet and hammers.
7 incenderunt igni sanctuarium tuum in terra polluerunt tabernaculum nominis tui
They have set thy sanctuary on fire. They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name to the ground.
8 dixerunt in corde suo cognatio eorum simul quiescere faciamus omnes dies festos Dei a terra
They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether. They have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
9 signa nostra non vidimus iam non est propheta et nos non cognoscet amplius
We do not see our signs. There is no more any prophet, nor is there among us he who knows how long.
10 usquequo Deus inproperabit inimicus inritat adversarius nomen tuum in finem
How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name forever?
11 ut quid avertis manum tuam et dexteram tuam de medio sinu tuo in finem
Why do thou draw back thy hand, even thy right hand? Remove it from the midst of thy bosom.
12 Deus autem rex noster ante saeculum operatus est salutes in medio terrae
Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 tu confirmasti in virtute tua mare contribulasti capita draconum in aquis
Thou divided the sea by thy strength. Thou break the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
14 tu confregisti capita draconis dedisti eum escam populis Aethiopum
Thou break the heads of leviathan in pieces. Thou gave him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 tu disrupisti fontem et torrentes tu siccasti fluvios Aetham;
Thou split fountain and flood. Thou dried up mighty rivers.
16 tuus est dies et tua est nox tu fabricatus es auroram et solem
The day is thine; the night is also thine. Thou have prepared the light and the sun.
17 tu fecisti omnes terminos terrae aestatem et ver tu plasmasti ea
Thou have set all the borders of the earth. Thou have made summer and winter.
18 memor esto huius inimicus inproperavit Dominum et populus insipiens incitavit nomen tuum
Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O Jehovah, and that a foolish people has blasphemed thy name.
19 ne tradas bestiis animam confitentem tibi animas pauperum tuorum ne obliviscaris in finem
O deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove to the wild beast. Forget not the life of thy poor forever.
20 respice in testamentum tuum quia repleti sunt qui obscurati sunt terrae domibus iniquitatum
Have respect to the covenant, for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
21 ne avertatur humilis factus confusus pauper et inops laudabunt nomen tuum
O let not he who is oppressed return ashamed. Let a poor and needy man praise thy name.
22 exsurge Deus iudica causam tuam memor esto inproperiorum tuorum eorum qui ab insipiente sunt tota die
Arise, O God, plead thine own cause. Remember how the foolish man reproaches thee all the day.
23 ne obliviscaris voces inimicorum tuorum superbia eorum qui te oderunt ascendit semper
Forget not the voice of thine adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against thee ascends continually.
