ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 73

LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 συνεσεως τω ασαφ ινα τι απωσω ο θεος εις τελος ωργισθη ο θυμος σου επι προβατα νομης σου	1 A psalm for Asaph. How good is God to Israel, to them that are of a right heart!
2 μνησθητι της συναγωγης σου ης εκτησω απ' αρχης ελυτρωσω ραβδον κληρονομιας σου ορος σιων τουτο ο κατεσκηνωσας εν αυτω	2 But my feet were almost moved; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 επαρον τας χειρας σου επι τας υπερηφανιας αυτων εις τελος οσα επονηρευσατο ο εχθρος εν τοις αγιοις σου	3 Because I had a zeal on occasion of the wicked, seeing the prosperity of sinners.
4 και ενεκαυχησαντο οι μισουντες σε εν μεσω της εορτης σου εθεντο τα σημεια αυτων σημεια και ουκ εγνωσαν	4 For there is no regard to their death, nor is there strength in their stripes.
5 ως εις την εισοδον υπερανω	5 They are not in the labour of men: neither shall they be scourged like other men. B Therefore pride hath held them fast: they are covered with their iniquity and their wickedness.
6 ως εν δρυμω ξυλων αξιναις εξεκοψαν τας θυρας αυτης επι το αυτο εν πελεκει και λαξευτηριω κατερραξαν αυτην	6 dummy verses inserted by amos
7 ενεπυρισαν εν πυρι το αγιαστηριον σου εις την γην εβεβηλωσαν το σκηνωμα του ονοματος σου	7 Their iniquity hath come forth, as it were from fatness: they have passed into the affection of the heart.
8 ειπαν εν τη καρδια αυτων η συγγενεια αυτων επι το αυτο δευτε και κατακαυσωμεν πασας τας εορτας του θεου απο της γης	8 They have thought and spoken wickedness: they have spoken iniquity on high.
9 τα σημεια ημων ουκ ειδομεν ουκ εστιν ετι προφητης και ημας ου γνωσεται ετι	9 They have set their mouth against heaven: and their tongue hath passed through the earth.
10 εως ποτε ο θεος ονειδιει ο εχθρος παροξυνει ο υπεναντιος το ονομα σου εις τελος	10 Therefore will my people return here and full days shall be found in them.
11 ινα τι αποστρεφεις την χειρα σου και την δεξιαν σου εκ μεσου του κολπου σου εις τελος	11 And they said: How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
12 ο δε θεος βασιλευς ημων προ αιωνος ειργασατο σωτηριαν εν μεσω της γης	12 Behold these are sinners; and yet abounding in the world they have obtained riches.
13 συ εκραταιωσας εν τη δυναμει σου την θαλασσαν συ συνετριψας τας κεφαλας των δρακοντων επι του υδατος	13 And I said: Then have I in vain justified my heart, and washed my hands among the innocent.
14 συ συνεθλασας τας κεφαλας του δρακοντος εδωκας αυτον βρωμα λαοις τοις αιθιοψιν	14 And I have been scourged all the day; and my chastisement hath been in the mornings.
15 συ διερρηξας πηγας και χειμαρρους συ εξηρανας ποταμους ηθαμ	15 If I said: I will speak thus; behold I should condemn the generation of thy children.
16 ση εστιν η ημερα και ση εστιν η νυξ συ κατηρτισω φαυσιν και ηλιον	16 I studied that I might know this thing, it is a labour in my sight:
17 συ εποιησας παντα τα ορια της γης θερος και εαρ συ επλασας αυτα	17 Until I go into the sanctuary of God, and understand concerning their last ends.
18 μνησθητι ταυτης εχθρος ωνειδισεν τον κυριον και λαος αφρων παρωξυνεν το ονομα σου	18 But indeed for deceits thou hast put it to them: when they were lifted up thou hast cast them down.
19 μη παραδως τοις θηριοις ψυχην εξομολογουμενην σοι των ψυχων των πενητων σου μη επιλαθη εις τελος	19 How are they brought to desolation? they have suddenly ceased to be: they have perished by reason of their iniquity.
20 επιβλεψον εις την διαθηκην σου οτι επληρωθησαν οι εσκοτισμενοι της γης οικων ανομιων	20 As the dream of them that awake, O Lord; so in thy city thou shalt bring their image to nothing.
21 μη αποστραφητω τεταπεινωμενος κατησχυμμενος πτωχος και πενης αινεσουσιν το ονομα σου	21 For my heart hath been inflamed, and my reins have been changed:
22 αναστα ο θεος δικασον την δικην σου μνησθητι των ονειδισμων σου των υπο αφρονος ολην την ημεραν	22 and I am brought to nothing, and I knew not.
23 μη επιλαθη της φωνης των ικετων σου η υπερηφανια των μισουντων σε ανεβη δια παντος προς σε	23 I am become as a beast before thee: and I am always with thee.
	24 Thou hast held me by my right hand; and by thy will thou hast conducted me, and with thy glory thou hast received me.
	25 For what have I in heaven? and besides thee what do I desire upon earth?
	26 For thee my flesh and my heart hath fainted away: thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion for ever.
	27 For behold they that go far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that are disloyal to thee.
	28 But it is good for me to adhere to my God, to put my hope in the Lord God: That I may declare all thy praises, in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
