Livro dos Salmos 74

Biblia Maria	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Ao mestre de canto. “Não destruas”. Salmo de Asaf. Cântico.	1 A Maskil of Asaph. O God, why dost thou cast us off for ever? Why does thy anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 Nós vos louvamos, Senhor, nós vos louvamos; glorificamos vosso nome e anunciamos vossas maravilhas.	2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old, which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thy heritage! Remember Mount Zion, where thou hast dwelt.
3 “No tempo que fixei, julgarei o justo juízo.	3 Direct thy steps to the perpetual ruins; the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary!
4 Vacile, embora, a terra com todos os seus habitantes, fui eu quem deu firmeza às suas colunas.	4 Thy foes have roared in the midst of thy holy place; they set up their own signs for signs.
5 Digo aos arrogantes: Não sejais insolentes; aos ímpios: Não levanteis vossa fronte,	5 At the upper entrance they hacked the wooden trellis with axes.
6 não ergais contra o Altíssimo a vossa cabeça, deixai de falar a Deus com tanta insolência.	6 And then all its carved wood they broke down with hatchets and hammers.
7 Não é do oriente, nem do ocidente, nem do deserto, nem das montanhas que vem a salvação.	7 They set thy sanctuary on fire; to the ground they desecrated the dwelling place of thy name.
8 Mas Deus é o juiz; a um ele abate, a outro exalta.	8 They said to themselves, "We will utterly subdue them"; they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
9 Há na mão do Senhor uma taça de vinho espumante e aromático. Dela dá de beber e até as fezes hão de esgotá-la; hão de sorvê-la os ímpios todos da terra.”	9 We do not see our signs; there is no longer any prophet, and there is none among us who knows how long.
10 Eu, porém, exultarei para sempre, salmodiarei o Deus de Jacó.	10 How long, O God, is the foe to scoff? Is the enemy to revile thy name for ever?
11 Abaterei todas as potências dos ímpios, enquanto o poder dos justos será exaltado.	11 Why dost thou hold back thy hand, why dost thou keep thy right hand in thy bosom?
	12 Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
	13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy might; thou didst break the heads of the dragons on the waters.
	14 Thou didst crush the heads of Leviathan, thou didst give him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.
	15 Thou didst cleave open springs and brooks; thou didst dry up ever-flowing streams.
	16 Thine is the day, thine also the night; thou hast established the luminaries and the sun.
	17 Thou hast fixed all the bounds of the earth; thou hast made summer and winter.
	18 Remember this, O LORD, how the enemy scoffs, and an impious people reviles thy name.
	19 Do not deliver the soul of thy dove to the wild beasts; do not forget the life of thy poor for ever.
	20 Have regard for thy covenant; for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
	21 Let not the downtrodden be put to shame; let the poor and needy praise thy name.
	22 Arise, O God, plead thy cause; remember how the impious scoff at thee all the day!
	23 Do not forget the clamor of thy foes, the uproar of thy adversaries which goes up continually!
