Psalms 73

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?

Ut quid, Deus, repulisti in finem, iratus est furor tuus super oves pascuæ tuæ?

συνέσεως τῷ Ασαφ ἵνα τί ἀπώσω ὁ θεός εἰς τέλος ὠργίσθη ὁ θυμός σου ἐπὶ πρόβατα νομῆς σου

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.

Memor esto congregationis tuæ, quam possedisti ab initio. Redemisti virgam hæreditatis tuæ, mons Sion, in quo habitasti in eo.

μνήσθητι τῆς συναγωγῆς σου ἧς ἐκτήσω ἀπ' ἀρχῆς ἐλυτρώσω ῥάβδον κληρονομίας σου ὄρος Σιων τοῦτο ὃ κατεσκήνωσας ἐν αὐτῷ

Lift up thy hands against their pride unto the end; see what things the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.

Leva manus tuas in superbias eorum in finem : quanta malignatus est inimicus in sancto!

ἔπαρον τὰς χεῖράς σου ἐπὶ τὰς ὑπερηφανίας αὐτῶν εἰς τέλος ὅσα ἐπονηρεύσατο ὁ ἐχθρὸς ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις σου

And they that hate thee have made their boasts, in the midst of thy solemnity. They have set up their ensigns for signs,

Et gloriati sunt qui oderunt te in medio solemnitatis tuæ; posuerunt signa sua, signa:

καὶ ἐνεκαυχήσαντο οἱ μισοῦντές σε ἐν μέσῳ τῆς ἑορτῆς σου ἔθεντο τὰ σημεῖα αὐτῶν σημεῖα καὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν

And they knew not both in the going out and on the highest top. As with axes in a wood of trees,

et non cognoverunt sicut in exitu super summum. Quasi in silva lignorum securibus

ὡς εἰς τὴν εἴσοδον ὑπεράνω

They have cut down at once the gates thereof, with axe and hatchet they have brought it down.

exciderunt januas ejus in idipsum; in securi et ascia dejecerunt eam.

ὡς ἐν δρυμῷ ξύλων ἀξίναις ἐξέκοψαν τὰς θύρας αὐτῆς ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ἐν πελέκει καὶ λαξευτηρίῳ κατέρραξαν αὐτήν

They have set fire to thy sanctuary: they have defiled the dwelling place of thy name on the earth.

Incenderunt igni sanctuarium tuum; in terra polluerunt tabernaculum nominis tui.

ἐνεπύρισαν ἐν πυρὶ τὸ ἁγιαστήριόν σου εἰς τὴν γῆν ἐβεβήλωσαν τὸ σκήνωμα τοῦ ὀνόματός σου

They said in their heart, the whole kindred of them together: Let us abolish all the festival days of God from the land.

Dixerunt in corde suo cognatio eorum simul: Quiescere faciamus omnes dies festos Dei a terra.

εἶπαν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν ἡ συγγένεια αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό δεῦτε καὶ κατακαύσωμεν πάσας τὰς ἑορτὰς τοῦ θεοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς

Our signs we have not seen, there is now no prophet: and he will know us no more.

Signa nostra non vidimus; jam non est propheta; et nos non cognoscet amplius.

τὰ σημεῖα ἡμῶν οὐκ εἴδομεν οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι προφήτης καὶ ἡμᾶς οὐ γνώσεται ἔτι

How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach: is the adversary to provoke thy name for ever?

Usquequo, Deus, improperabit inimicus? irritat adversarius nomen tuum in finem?

ἕως πότε ὁ θεός ὀνειδιεῖ ὁ ἐχθρός παροξυνεῖ ὁ ὑπεναντίος τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τέλος

Why dost thou turn away thy hand: and thy right hand out of the midst of thy bosom for ever?

Ut quid avertis manum tuam, et dexteram tuam de medio sinu tuo in finem?

ἵνα τί ἀποστρέφεις τὴν χεῖρά σου καὶ τὴν δεξιάν σου ἐκ μέσου τοῦ κόλπου σου εἰς τέλος

But God is our king before ages: he hath wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.

Deus autem rex noster ante sæcula : operatus est salutem in medio terræ.

ὁ δὲ θεὸς βασιλεὺς ἡμῶν πρὸ αἰῶνος εἰργάσατο σωτηρίαν ἐν μέσῳ τῆς γῆς

Thou by thy strength didst make the sea firm: thou didst crush the heads of the dragons in the waters.

Tu confirmasti in virtute tua mare; contribulasti capita draconum in aquis.

σὺ ἐκραταίωσας ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου τὴν θάλασσαν σὺ συνέτριψας τὰς κεφαλὰς τῶν δρακόντων ἐπὶ τοῦ ὕδατος

Thou hast broken the heads of the dragon: thou hast given him to be meat for the people of the Ethiopians.

Tu confregisti capita draconis; dedisti eum escam populis Æthiopum.

σὺ συνέθλασας τὰς κεφαλὰς τοῦ δράκοντος ἔδωκας αὐτὸν βρῶμα λαοῖς τοῖς Αἰθίοψιν

Thou hast broken up the fountains and the torrents: thou hast dried up the Ethan rivers.

Tu dirupisti fontes et torrentes; tu siccasti fluvios Ethan.

σὺ διέρρηξας πηγὰς καὶ χειμάρρους σὺ ἐξήρανας ποταμοὺς Ηθαμ

Thine is the day, and thine is the night: thou hast made the morning light and the sun.

Tuus est dies, et tua est nox; tu fabricatus es auroram et solem.

σή ἐστιν ἡ ἡμέρα καὶ σή ἐστιν ἡ νύξ σὺ κατηρτίσω φαῦσιν καὶ ἥλιον

Thou hast made all the borders of the earth: the summer and the spring were formed by thee.

Tu fecisti omnes terminos terræ; æstatem et ver tu plasmasti ea.

σὺ ἐποίησας πάντα τὰ ὅρια τῆς γῆς θέρος καὶ ἔαρ σὺ ἔπλασας αὐτά

Remember this, the enemy hath reproached the Lord: and a foolish people hath provoked thy name.

Memor esto hujus : inimicus improperavit Domino, et populus insipiens incitavit nomen tuum.

μνήσθητι ταύτης ἐχθρὸς ὠνείδισεν τὸν κύριον καὶ λαὸς ἄφρων παρώξυνεν τὸ ὄνομά σου

Deliver not up to beasts the souls that confess to thee: and forget not to the end the souls of thy poor.

Ne tradas bestiis animas confitentes tibi, et animas pauperum tuorum ne obliviscaris in finem.

μὴ παραδῷς τοῖς θηρίοις ψυχὴν ἐξομολογουμένην σοι τῶν ψυχῶν τῶν πενήτων σου μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ εἰς τέλος

Have regard to thy covenant: for they that are the obscure of the earth have been filled with dwellings of iniquity.

Respice in testamentum tuum, quia repleti sunt qui obscurati sunt terræ domibus iniquitatum.

ἐπίβλεψον εἰς τὴν διαθήκην σου ὅτι ἐπληρώθησαν οἱ ἐσκοτισμένοι τῆς γῆς οἴκων ἀνομιῶν

Let not the humble be turned away with confusion: the poor and needy shall praise thy name.

Ne avertatur humilis factus confusus; pauper et inops laudabunt nomen tuum.

μὴ ἀποστραφήτω τεταπεινωμένος κατῃσχυμμένος πτωχὸς καὶ πένης αἰνέσουσιν τὸ ὄνομά σου

Arise, O God, judge thy own cause: remember thy reproaches with which the foolish man hath reproached thee all the day.

Exsurge, Deus, judica causam tuam; memor esto improperiorum tuorum, eorum quæ ab insipiente sunt tota die.

ἀνάστα ὁ θεός δίκασον τὴν δίκην σου μνήσθητι τῶν ὀνειδισμῶν σου τῶν ὑπὸ ἄφρονος ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν

Forget not the voices of thy enemies: the pride of them that hate thee ascendeth continually.

Ne obliviscaris voces inimicorum tuorum : superbia eorum qui te oderunt ascendit semper.

μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ τῆς φωνῆς τῶν ἱκετῶν σου ἡ ὑπερηφανία τῶν μισούντων σε ἀνέβη διὰ παντὸς πρὸς σέ
