Psalmorum 73
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Intellectus Asaph. [Ut quid, Deus, repulisti in finem, iratus est furor tuus super oves pascuæ tuæ?
1Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
2Memor esto congregationis tuæ, quam possedisti ab initio. Redemisti virgam hæreditatis tuæ, mons Sion, in quo habitasti in eo.
2But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3Leva manus tuas in superbias eorum in finem: quanta malignatus est inimicus in sancto !
3For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4Et gloriati sunt qui oderunt te in medio solemnitatis tuæ; posuerunt signa sua, signa:
4For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
5et non cognoverunt sicut in exitu super summum. Quasi in silva lignorum securibus
5They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
6exciderunt januas ejus in idipsum; in securi et ascia dejecerunt eam.
6Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
7Incenderunt igni sanctuarium tuum; in terra polluerunt tabernaculum nominis tui.
7Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8Dixerunt in corde suo cognatio eorum simul: Quiescere faciamus omnes dies festos Dei a terra.
8They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
9Signa nostra non vidimus; jam non est propheta; et nos non cognoscet amplius.
9They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10Usquequo, Deus, improperabit inimicus? irritat adversarius nomen tuum in finem?
10Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11Ut quid avertis manum tuam, et dexteram tuam de medio sinu tuo in finem?
11And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
12Deus autem rex noster ante sæcula: operatus est salutem in medio terræ.
12Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
13Tu confirmasti in virtute tua mare; contribulasti capita draconum in aquis.
13Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
14Tu confregisti capita draconis; dedisti eum escam populis Æthiopum.
14For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
15Tu dirupisti fontes et torrentes; tu siccasti fluvios Ethan.
15If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
16Tuus est dies, et tua est nox; tu fabricatus es auroram et solem.
16When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
17Tu fecisti omnes terminos terræ; æstatem et ver tu plasmasti ea.
17Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
18Memor esto hujus: inimicus improperavit Domino, et populus insipiens incitavit nomen tuum.
18Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
19Ne tradas bestiis animas confitentes tibi, et animas pauperum tuorum ne obliviscaris in finem.
19How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
20Respice in testamentum tuum, quia repleti sunt qui obscurati sunt terræ domibus iniquitatum.
20As a dream when one awaketh; so , O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
21Ne avertatur humilis factus confusus; pauper et inops laudabunt nomen tuum.
21Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
22Exsurge, Deus, judica causam tuam; memor esto improperiorum tuorum, eorum quæ ab insipiente sunt tota die.
22So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
23Ne obliviscaris voces inimicorum tuorum: superbia eorum qui te oderunt ascendit semper.]
23Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
