ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 74

LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 εις το τελος μη διαφθειρης ψαλμος τω ασαφ ωδης	1 Understanding for Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast us off unto the end: why is thy wrath enkindled against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 εξομολογησομεθα σοι ο θεος εξομολογησομεθα και επικαλεσομεθα το ονομα σου	2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast possessed from the beginning. The sceptre of thy inheritance which thou hast redeemed: mount Sion in which thou hast dwelt.
3 διηγησομαι παντα τα θαυμασια σου οταν λαβω καιρον εγω ευθυτητας κρινω	3 Lift up thy hands against their pride unto the end; see what things the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4 ετακη η γη και παντες οι κατοικουντες εν αυτη εγω εστερεωσα τους στυλους αυτης διαψαλμα	4 And they that hate thee have made their boasts, in the midst of thy solemnity. They have set up their ensigns for signs,
5 ειπα τοις παρανομουσιν μη παρανομειτε και τοις αμαρτανουσιν μη υψουτε κερας	5 and they knew not both in the going out and on the highest top. As with axes in a wood of trees,
6 μη επαιρετε εις υψος το κερας υμων μη λαλειτε κατα του θεου αδικιαν	6 they have cut down at once the gates thereof, with axe and hatchet they have brought it down.
7 οτι ουτε απο εξοδων ουτε απο δυσμων ουτε απο ερημων ορεων	7 They have set fire to thy sanctuary: they have defiled the dwelling place of thy name on the earth.
8 οτι ο θεος κριτης εστιν τουτον ταπεινοι και τουτον υψοι	8 They said in their heart, the whole kindred of them together: Let us abolish all the festival days of God from the land.
9 οτι ποτηριον εν χειρι κυριου οινου ακρατου πληρες κερασματος και εκλινεν εκ τουτου εις τουτο πλην ο τρυγιας αυτου ουκ εξεκενωθη πιονται παντες οι αμαρτωλοι της γης	9 Our signs we have not seen, there is now no prophet: and he will know us no more.
10 εγω δε αγαλλιασομαι εις τον αιωνα ψαλω τω θεω ιακωβ	10 How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach: is the adversary to provoke thy name for ever?
11 και παντα τα κερατα των αμαρτωλων συγκλασω και υψωθησεται τα κερατα του δικαιου	11 Why dost thou turn away thy hand: and thy right hand out of the midst of thy bosom for ever ?
	12 But God is our king before ages: he hath wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
	13 Thou by thy strength didst make the sea firm: thou didst crush the heads of the dragons in the waters.
	14 Thou hast broken the heads of the dragon: thou hast given him to be meat for the people of the Ethiopians.
	15 Thou hast broken up the fountains and the torrents: thou hast dried up the Ethan rivers.
	16 Thine is the day, and thine is the night: thou hast made the morning light and the sun.
	17 Thou hast made all the borders of the earth: the summer and the spring were formed by thee.
	18 Remember this, the enemy hath reproached the Lord: and a foolish people hath provoked thy name.
	19 Deliver not up to beasts the souls that confess to thee: and forget not to the end the souls of thy poor.
	20 Have regard to thy covenant: for they that are the obscure of the earth have been filled with dwellings of iniquity.
	21 Let not the humble be turned away with confusion: the poor and needy shall praise thy name.
	22 Arise, O God, judge thy own cause: remember thy reproaches with which the foolish man hath reproached thee all the day.
	23 Forget not the voices of thy enemies: the pride of them that hate thee ascendeth continually.
