Psalms 73

KING JAMES BIBLE	VULGATA
1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.	1 Intellectus Asaph. Ut quid, Deus, repulisti in finem, iratus est furor tuus super oves pascuæ tuæ ?
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.	2 Memor esto congregationis tuæ, quam possedisti ab initio. Redemisti virgam hæreditatis tuæ, mons Sion, in quo habitasti in eo.
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.	3 Leva manus tuas in superbias eorum in finem : quanta malignatus est inimicus in sancto !
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.	4 Et gloriati sunt qui oderunt te in medio solemnitatis tuæ ; posuerunt signa sua, signa :
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.	5 et non cognoverunt sicut in exitu super summum. Quasi in silva lignorum securibus
6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.	6 exciderunt januas ejus in idipsum ; in securi et ascia dejecerunt eam.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.	7 Incenderunt igni sanctuarium tuum ; in terra polluerunt tabernaculum nominis tui.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.	8 Dixerunt in corde suo cognatio eorum simul : Quiescere faciamus omnes dies festos Dei a terra.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.	9 Signa nostra non vidimus ; jam non est propheta ; et nos non cognoscet amplius.
10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.	10 Usquequo, Deus, improperabit inimicus ? irritat adversarius nomen tuum in finem ?
11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?	11 Ut quid avertis manum tuam, et dexteram tuam de medio sinu tuo in finem ?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.	12 Deus autem rex noster ante sæcula : operatus est salutem in medio terræ.
13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.	13 Tu confirmasti in virtute tua mare ; contribulasti capita draconum in aquis.
14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.	14 Tu confregisti capita draconis ; dedisti eum escam populis Æthiopum.
15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.	15 Tu dirupisti fontes et torrentes ; tu siccasti fluvios Ethan.
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;	16 Tuus est dies, et tua est nox ; tu fabricatus es auroram et solem.
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.	17 Tu fecisti omnes terminos terræ ; æstatem et ver tu plasmasti ea.
18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.	18 Memor esto hujus : inimicus improperavit Domino, et populus insipiens incitavit nomen tuum.
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.	19 Ne tradas bestiis animas confitentes tibi, et animas pauperum tuorum ne obliviscaris in finem.
20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.	20 Respice in testamentum tuum, quia repleti sunt qui obscurati sunt terræ domibus iniquitatum.
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.	21 Ne avertatur humilis factus confusus ; pauper et inops laudabunt nomen tuum.
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.	22 Exsurge, Deus, judica causam tuam ; memor esto improperiorum tuorum, eorum quæ ab insipiente sunt tota die.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.	23 Ne obliviscaris voces inimicorum tuorum : superbia eorum qui te oderunt ascendit semper.
24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
