Psalms 78

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the Gentiles have entered into your inheritance; they have polluted your holy temple. They have set Jerusalem as a place to tend fruit trees.	1 Psalmus Asaph. Deus, venerunt gentes in hæreditatem tuam ; polluerunt templum sanctum tuum ; posuerunt Jerusalem in pomorum custodiam.
2 They have placed the dead bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints for the beasts of the earth.	2 Posuerunt morticina servorum tuorum escas volatilibus cæli ; carnes sanctorum tuorum bestiis terræ.
3 They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one who would bury them.	3 Effuderunt sanguinem eorum tamquam aquam in circuitu Jerusalem, et non erat qui sepeliret.
4 We have become a disgrace to our neighbors, an object of ridicule and mockery to those who are around us.	4 Facti sumus opprobrium vicinis nostris ; subsannatio et illusio his qui in circuitu nostro sunt.
5 How long, O Lord? Will you be angry until the end? Will your zeal be kindled like a fire?	5 Usquequo, Domine, irasceris in finem ? accendetur velut ignis zelus tuus ?
6 Pour out your wrath among the Gentiles, who have not known you, and upon the kingdoms that have not invoked your name.	6 Effunde iram tuam in gentes quæ te non noverunt, et in regna quæ nomen tuum non invocaverunt :
7 For they have devoured Jacob, and they have desolated his place.	7 quia comederunt Jacob, et locum ejus desolaverunt.
8 Do not remember our iniquities of the past. May your mercies quickly intercept us, for we have become exceedingly poor.	8 Ne memineris iniquitatum nostrarum antiquarum ; cito anticipent nos misericordiæ tuæ, quia pauperes facti sumus nimis.
9 Help us, O God, our Savior. And free us, Lord, for the glory of your name. And forgive us our sins for the sake of your name.	9 Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris noster, et propter gloriam nominis tui, Domine, libera nos : et propitius esto peccatis nostris, propter nomen tuum.
10 Let them not say among the Gentiles, “Where is their God?” And may your name become known among the nations before our eyes. For the retribution of your servants’ blood, which has been poured out:	10 Ne forte dicant in gentibus : Ubi est Deus eorum ? et innotescat in nationibus coram oculis nostris ultio sanguinis servorum tuorum qui effusus est.
11 may the groans of the shackled enter before you. According to the greatness of your arm, take possession of the sons of those who have been killed.	11 Introëat in conspectu tuo gemitus compeditorum ; secundum magnitudinem brachii tui posside filios mortificatorum :
12 And repay our neighbors sevenfold within their sinews. It is the reproach of the same ones who brought reproach against you, O Lord.	12 et redde vicinis nostris septuplum in sinu eorum ; improperium ipsorum quod exprobraverunt tibi, Domine.
13 But we are your people and the sheep of your pasture: we will give thanks to you in all ages. From generation to generation, we will announce your praise.	13 Nos autem populus tuus, et oves pascuæ tuæ, confitebimur tibi in sæculum ; in generationem et generationem annuntiabimus laudem tuam.
