Psalms 74
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Maschil of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast us off for ever? Why doth Thine anger smoke against the flock of Thy pasture?
1Εἰς τὸ τέλος· μὴ διαφθείρῃς· ψαλμὸς ᾠδῆς τῷ Ἀσάφ.
2Remember Thy congregation, which Thou hast gotten of old, which Thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of Thine inheritance; and mount Zion, wherein Thou hast dwelt.
2ΕΞΟΜΟΛΟΓΗΣΟΜΕΘΑ σοι, ὁ Θεός, ἐξομολογησόμεθά σοι καὶ ἐπικαλεσόμεθα τὸ ὄνομά σου.
3Lift up Thy steps because of the perpetual ruins, even all the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
3διηγήσομαι πάντα τὰ θαυμάσιά σου, ὅταν λάβω καιρόν· ἐγὼ εὐθύτητας κρινῶ.
4Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of Thy meeting-place; they have set up their own signs for signs.
4ἐτάκη ἡ γῆ καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν αὐτῇ, ἐγὼ ἐστερέωσα τοὺς στύλους αὐτῆς. (διάψαλμα).
5It seemed as when men wield upwards axes in a thicket of trees.
5εἶπα τοῖς παρανομοῦσι· μὴ παρανομεῖτε, καὶ τοῖς ἁμαρτάνουσι· μὴ ὑψοῦτε κέρας,
6And now all the carved work thereof together they strike down with hatchet and hammers.
6μὴ ἐπαίρετε εἰς ὕψος τὸ κέρας ὑμῶν καὶ μὴ λαλεῖτε κατὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀδικίαν.
7They have set Thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling-place of Thy name even to the ground.
7ὅτι οὔτε ἐξ ἐξόδων οὔτε ἀπὸ δυσμῶν οὔτε ἀπὸ ἐρήμων ὀρέων,
8They said in their heart: 'Let us make havoc of them altogether'; they have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
8ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς κριτής ἐστι, τοῦτον ταπεινοῖ καὶ τοῦτον ὑψοῖ.
9We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet; neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
9ὅτι ποτήριον ἐν χειρὶ Κυρίου οἴνου ἀκράτου πλῆρες κεράσματος. καὶ ἔκλινεν ἐκ τούτου εἰς τοῦτο, πλὴν ὁ τρυγίας αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐξεκενώθη, πίονται πάντες οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ τῆς γῆς·
10How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme Thy name for ever?
10ἐγὼ δὲ ἀγαλλιάσομαι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ψαλῶ τῷ Θεῷ Ἰακώβ· καὶ πάντα τὰ κέρατα τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν συνθλάσω, καὶ ὑψωθήσεται τὰ κέρατα τοῦ δικαίου.
11Why withdrawest Thou Thy hand, even Thy right hand? Draw it out of Thy bosom and consume them.
