Psalmus 73 (1,9)

Let us prove ourselves * in much patience and fasting, by the armour of justice.

O God, why hast thou cast us off unto the end: * why is thy wrath enkindled against the sheep of thy pasture?

2. Memor esto congregatiónis tuæ: * quam possedísti ab inítio.

Remember thy congregation, * which thou hast possessed from the beginning.

3. Redemísti virgam hereditátis tuæ: * mons Sion, in quo habitásti in eo.

The sceptre of thy inheritance which thou hast redeemed: * mount Sion in which thou hast dwelt.

4. Leva manus tuas in supérbias eórum in finem: * quanta malignátus est inimícus in sancto!

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

5. Et gloriáti sunt qui odérunt te: * in médio solemnitátis tuæ.

And they that hate thee have made their boasts, * in the midst of thy solemnity.

6. Posuérunt signa sua, signa: * et non cognovérunt sicut in éxitu super summum.

They have set up their ensigns for signs, * and they knew not both in the going out and on the highest top.

7. Quasi in silva lignórum secúribus excidérunt jánuas ejus in idípsum: * in secúri et áscia dejecérunt eam.

As with axes in a wood of trees, they have cut down at once the gates thereof, * with axe and hatchet they have brought it down.

8. Incendérunt igni sanctuárium tuum: * in terra polluérunt tabernáculum nóminis tui.

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

9. Dixérunt in corde suo cognátio eórum simul: * Quiéscere faciámus omnes dies festos Dei a terra.

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

10. Signa nostra non vídimus, jam non est prophéta: * et nos non cognóscet ámplius.

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

11. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

12. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Psalmus 73 (10,17)

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

2. Ut quid avértis manum tuam, et déxteram tuam, * de médio sinu tuo in finem?

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

3. Deus autem Rex noster ante sǽcula: * operátus est salútem in médio terræ.

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

4. Tu confirmásti in virtúte tua mare: * contribulásti cápita dracónum in aquis.

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

5. Tu confregísti cápita dracónis: * dedísti eum escam pópulis Æthíopum.

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

6. Tu dirupísti fontes, et torréntes * tu siccásti flúvios Ethan.

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

7. Tuus est dies, et tua est nox: * tu fabricátus es auróram et solem.

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

8. Tu fecísti omnes términos terræ: * æstátem et ver tu plasmásti ea.

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

9. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

10. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Psalmus 73 (18,23)

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

2. Ne tradas béstiis ánimas confiténtes tibi, * et ánimas páuperum tuórum ne obliviscáris in finem.

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

3. Réspice in testaméntum tuum: * quia repléti sunt, qui obscuráti sunt terræ dómibus iniquitátum.

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

4. Ne avertátur húmilis factus confúsus: * pauper et inops laudábunt nomen tuum.

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

5. Exsúrge, Deus, júdica causam tuam: * memor esto improperiórum tuórum, eórum quæ ab insipiénte sunt tota die.

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

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

7. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
