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.

  1. Narrábimus miralia tua: * cum accépero tempus, ego justítias judibo.
  2. 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.
  4. The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: * I have established the pillars thereof.

  5. Dixi iníquis: Nolíte iníque ágere: * et delinquéntibus: Nolíte exaltáre cornu:
  6. I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: * and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn.

  7. Nolíte extóllere in altum cornu vestrum: * nolíte loqui advérsus Deum iniquitem.
  8. Lift not up your horn on high: * speak not iniquity against God.

  9. Quia neque ab Oriénte, neque ab Occidénte, neque a desértis móntibus: * quóniam Deus judex est.
  10. For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills: * for God is the judge.

  11. Hunc humíliat, et hunc exáltat: * quia calix in manu Dómini vini meri plenus misto.
  12. 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.

  13. Et inclinávit ex hoc in hoc: verúmtamen fæx ejus non est exinata: * bibent omnes peccatóres terræ.
  14. 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.

  15. Ego autem annuntiábo in culum: * cantábo Deo Jacob.
  16. But I will declare for ever: * I will sing to the God of Jacob.

  17. Et ómnia córnua peccarum confríngam: * et exaltabúntur córnua justi.
  18. And I will break all the horns of sinners: * but the horns of the just shall be exalted.

  19. Glória Patri, et lio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
  20. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

  21. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
  22. 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.

  1. Et factus est in pace locus ejus: * et habitátio ejus in Sion.
  2. And his place is in peace: * and his abode in Sion:

  3. Ibi confrégit poténtias árcuum: * scutum, gládium, et bellum.
  4. There hath he broken the powers of bows, * the shield, the sword, and the battle.

  5. Illúminans tu mirabíliter a móntibus ætérnis: * turbáti sunt omnes insipiéntes corde.
  6. Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills. * All the foolish of heart were troubled.

  7. Dormiérunt somnum suum: * et nihil invenérunt omnes viri divitiárum in mánibus suis.
  8. They have slept their sleep; * and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

  9. Ab increpatióne tua, Deus Jacob, * dormitavérunt qui ascendérunt equos.
  10. At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, * they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.

  11. Glória Patri, et lio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
  12. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

  13. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
  14. 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.

  1. De cælo audítum fecísti jucium: * terra trémuit et quiévit.
  2. Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: * the earth trembled and was still,

  3. Cum exsúrgeret in jucium Deus, * ut salvos fáceret omnes mansuétos terræ.
  4. When God arose in judgment, * to save all the meek of the earth.

  5. Quóniam cogitátio hóminis confibitur tibi: * et relíquiæ cogitatiónis diem festum agent tibi.
  6. For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: * and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.

  7. Vovéte, et réddite Dómino Deo vestro: * omnes, qui in circúitu ejus affértis nera.
  8. Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: * all you that are round about him bring presents.

  9. Terríbili et ei qui aufert spíritum príncipum, * terríbili apud reges terræ.
  10. To him that is terrible, even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: * to the terrible with the kings of the earth.

  11. Glória Patri, et lio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
  12. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

  13. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
  14. 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.
