Salmi 79

NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Psalmus. Asaph. Deus, venerunt gentes in hereditatem tuam, polluerunt templum sanctum tuum, posuerunt Ierusalem in ruinas.	1 [Psalm Of Asaph] God, the pagans have invaded your heritage, they have defiled your holy temple,they have laid Jerusalem in ruins,
2 Dederunt morticina servorum tuorum escas volatilibus caeli, carnes sanctorum tuorum bestiis terrae.	2 they have left the corpses of your servants as food for the birds of the air, the bodies of your faithful forthe wild beasts.
3 Effuderunt sanguinem eorum tamquam aquam in circuitu Ierusalem, et non erat qui sepeliret.	3 Around Jerusalem they have shed blood like water, leaving no one to bury them.
4 Facti sumus opprobrium vicinis nostris, subsannatio et illusio his, qui in circuitu nostro sunt.	4 We are the scorn of our neighbours, the butt and laughing-stock of those around us.
5 Usquequo, Domine? Irasceris in finem? Accendetur velut ignis zelus tuus?	5 How long will you be angry, Yahweh? For ever? Is your jealousy to go on smouldering like a fire?
6 Effunde iram tuam in gentes, quae te non noverunt, et in regna, quae nomen tuum non invocaverunt,	6 Pour out your anger on the nations who do not acknowledge you, and on the kingdoms that do not callon your name;
7 quia comederunt Iacob et sedem eius desolaverunt.	7 for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his home.
8 Ne memineris iniquitatum patrum nostrorum, cito anticipent nos misericordiae tuae, quia pauperes facti sumus nimis.	8 Do not count against us the guilt of former generations, in your tenderness come quickly to meet us,for we are utterly weakened;
9 Adiuva nos, Deus salutaris nostri, propter gloriam nominis tui et libera nos; et propitius esto peccatis nostris propter nomen tuum.	9 help us, God our Saviour, for the glory of your name; Yahweh, wipe away our sins, rescue us for thesake of your name.
10 Quare dicent in gentibus: “ Ubi est Deus eorum? ”. Innotescat in nationibus coram oculis nostris ultio sanguinis servorum tuorum, qui effusus est.	10 Why should the nations ask, 'Where is their God?' Let us see the nations suffer vengeance forshedding your servants' blood.
11 Introeat in conspectu tuo gemitus compeditorum; secundum magnitudinem brachii tui superstites relinque filios mortis.	11 May the groans of the captive reach you, by your great strength save those who are condemned todeath!
12 Et redde vicinis nostris septuplum in sinu eorum, improperium ipsorum, quod exprobraverunt tibi, Domine.	12 Repay our neighbours sevenfold for the insults they have level ed at you, Lord.
13 Nos autem, populus tuus et oves pascuae tuae, confitebimur tibi in saeculum; in generationem et generationem annuntiabimus laudem tuam.	13 And we, your people, the flock that you pasture, will thank you for ever, wil recite your praises fromage to age.
