Psalmus 74

With the armour of justice * and in the power of God, let us prove ourselves in much patience.

We will praise thee, O God: * we will praise, and we will call upon thy name.

2. Narrábimus mirabília tua: * cum accépero tempus, ego justítias judicábo.

We will relate thy wondrous works: * when I shall take a time, I will judge justices.

3. Liquefácta est terra, et omnes qui hábitant in ea: * ego confirmávi colúmnas ejus.

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

4. Dixi iníquis: Nolíte iníque ágere: * et delinquéntibus: Nolíte exaltáre cornu:

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

5. Nolíte extóllere in altum cornu vestrum: * nolíte loqui advérsus Deum iniquitátem.

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

6. Quia neque ab Oriénte, neque ab Occidénte, neque a desértis móntibus: * quóniam Deus judex est.

For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills: * for God is the judge.

7. Hunc humíliat, et hunc exáltat: * quia calix in manu Dómini vini meri plenus misto.

One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up: * for in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture.

8. Et inclinávit ex hoc in hoc: † verúmtamen fæx ejus non est exinaníta: * bibent omnes peccatóres terræ.

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.

9. Ego autem annuntiábo in sǽculum: * cantábo Deo Jacob.

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

10. Et ómnia córnua peccatórum confríngam: * et exaltabúntur córnua justi.

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

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 75 (2,7)

In Judea God is known: * his name is great in Israel.

2. Et factus est in pace locus ejus: * et habitátio ejus in Sion.

And his place is in peace: * and his abode in Sion:

3. Ibi confrégit poténtias árcuum: * scutum, gládium, et bellum.

There hath he broken the powers of bows, * the shield, the sword, and the battle.

4. Illúminans tu mirabíliter a móntibus ætérnis: * turbáti sunt omnes insipiéntes corde.

Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills. * All the foolish of heart were troubled.

5. Dormiérunt somnum suum: * et nihil invenérunt omnes viri divitiárum in mánibus suis.

They have slept their sleep; * and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

6. Ab increpatióne tua, Deus Jacob, * dormitavérunt qui ascendérunt equos.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, * they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.

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

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

8. 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 75 (8,13)

Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? * from that time thy wrath.

2. De cælo audítum fecísti judícium: * terra trémuit et quiévit.

Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: * the earth trembled and was still,

3. Cum exsúrgeret in judícium Deus, * ut salvos fáceret omnes mansuétos terræ.

When God arose in judgment, * to save all the meek of the earth.

4. Quóniam cogitátio hóminis confitébitur tibi: * et relíquiæ cogitatiónis diem festum agent tibi.

For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: * and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.

5. Vovéte, et réddite Dómino Deo vestro: * omnes, qui in circúitu ejus affértis múnera.

Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: * all you that are round about him bring presents.

6. Terríbili et ei qui aufert spíritum príncipum, * terríbili apud reges terræ.

To him that is terrible, even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: * to the terrible with the kings of the earth.

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

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

8. 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.

With the armour of justice * and in the power of God, let us prove ourselves in much patience.
