Psalms 74

1Unto the end, corrupt not, a psalm of a canticle for Asaph.

In finem, ne corrumpas. Psalmus cantici Asaph.

2We will praise thee, O God: we will praise, and we will call upon thy name. We will relate thy wondrous works:

Confitebimur tibi, Deus, confitebimur, et invocabimus nomen tuum; narrabimus mirabilia tua.

3When I shall take a time, I will judge justices.

Cum accepero tempus, ego justitias judicabo.

4The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: I have established the pillars thereof.

Liquefacta est terra et omnes qui habitant in ea: ego confirmavi columnas ejus.

5I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn.

Dixi iniquis: Nolite inique agere: et delinquentibus: Nolite exaltare cornu:

6Lift not up your horn on high: speak not iniquity against God.

nolite extollere in altum cornu vestrum; nolite loqui adversus Deum iniquitatem.

7For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills:

Quia neque ab oriente, neque ab occidente, neque a desertis montibus:

8For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up:

quoniam Deus judex est. Hunc humiliat, et hunc exaltat:

9For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture. And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: all the sinners of the earth shall drink.

quia calix in manu Domini vini meri, plenus misto. Et inclinavit ex hoc in hoc; verumtamen fæx ejus non est exinanita: bibent omnes peccatores terræ.

10But I will declare for ever: I will sing to the God of Jacob.

Ego autem annuntiabo in sæculum; cantabo Deo Jacob:

11And I will break all the horns of sinners: but the horns of the just shall be exalted.

et omnia cornua peccatorum confringam, et exaltabuntur cornua justi.
