Psalms 74

There is a just judgment to come: therefore let the wicked take care.

In finem, ne corrumpas. Psalmus cantici Asaph.

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

  • Corrupt not: It is believed to have been the beginning of some ode or hymn, to the tune of which this psalm was to be sung. St. Augustine and other fathers take it to be an admonition of the spirit of God, not to faint or fail in our hope: but to persevere with constancy in good: because God will not fail in his due time to render to every man according to his works.
#

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

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

#

Cum accepero tempus, ego justitias judicabo.

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

  • When I shall take a time: In proper times: particularly at the last day, when the earth shall melt away at the presence of the great Judge: the same who originally laid the foundations of it, and as it were established its pillars.
#

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

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

#

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

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

#

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

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

#

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

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

#

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

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

#

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.

For 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.

#

Ego autem annuntiabo in sæculum; cantabo Deo Jacob:

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

#

et omnia cornua peccatorum confringam, et exaltabuntur cornua justi.

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