Psalm 72 in Latin

Описание: Psalm 72 in Latin

Psalmus Asaph. Quam bonus Israel Deus, his qui recto sunt corde! Mei autem pene moti sunt pedes, pene effusi sunt gressus mei; quia zelavi super iniquos, pacem peccatorum videns. Quia non est respectus morti eorum, et firmamentum in plaga eorum. In labore hominum non sunt, et cum hominibus non flagellabuntur.

Ideo tenuit eos superbia; operti sunt iniquitate et impietate sua. Prodiit quasi ex adipe iniquitas eorum; transierunt in affectum cordis. Cogitaverunt et locuti sunt nequitiam; iniquitatem in excelso locuti sunt. Posuerunt in caelum os suum, et lingua eorum transivit in terra. Ideo convertetur populus meus hic, et dies pleni invenientur in eis.

Et dixerunt: Quomodo scit Deus, et si est scientia in excelso? Ecce ipsi peccatores, et abundantes in saeculo, obtinuerunt divitias. Et dixi: Ergo sine causa justificavi cor meum, et lavi inter innocentes manus meas; et fui flagellatus tota die, et castigatio mea in matutinis. Si dicebam: Narrabo sic; ecce nationem filiorum tuorum reprobavi.

Existimabam ut cognoscerem hoc; labor est ante me: donec intrem in sanctuarium Dei, et intelligam in novissimis eorum. Verumtamen propter dolos posuisti eis; dejecisti eos dum allevarentur. Quomodo facti sunt in desolationem? subito defecerunt; perierunt propter iniquitatem suam. Velut somnium surgentium, Domine, in civitate tua imaginem ipsorum ad nihilum rediges.

Quia inflammatum est cor meum, et renes mei commutati sunt; et ego ad nihilum redactus sum, et nescivi; ut jumentum factus sum apud te, et ego semper tecum. Tenuisti manum dexteram meam, et in voluntate tua deduxisti me, et cum gloria suscepisti me. Quid enim mihi est in caelo? et a te quid volui super terram?

Defecit caro mea et cor meum; Deus cordis mei, et pars mea, Deus in aeternum. Quia ecce qui elongant se a te peribunt; perdidisti omnes qui fornicantur abs te. Mihi autem adhaerere Deo bonum est, ponere in Domino Deo spem meam; ut annuntiem omnes praedicationes tuas in portis filiae Sion.


Psalm 72 in English

A psalm for Asaph. How good is God to Israel, to them that are of a right heart! But my feet were almost moved; my steps had well nigh slipped. Because I had a zeal on occasion of the wicked, seeing the prosperity of sinners. For there is no regard to their death, nor is there strength in their stripes. They are not in the labor of men: neither shall they be scourged like other men.

Therefore pride hath held them fast: they are covered with their iniquity and their wickedness. Their iniquity hath come forth, as it were from fatness: they have passed into the affection of the heart. They have thought and spoken wickedness: they have spoken iniquity on high. They have set their mouth against Heaven: and their tongue hath passed through the earth. Therefore will my people return here and full days shall be found in them.

And they said: How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High? Behold these are sinners; and yet abounding in the world they have obtained riches. And I said: Then have I in vain justified my heart, and washed my hands among the innocent. And I have been scourged all the day; and my chastisement hath been in the mornings. If I said: I will speak thus; behold I should condemn the generation of thy children.

I studied that I might know this thing, it is a labour in my sight: Until I go into the sanctuary of God, and understand concerning their last ends. But indeed for deceits Thou hast put it to them: when they were lifted up Thou hast cast them down. How are they brought to desolation? They have suddenly ceased to be: they have perished by reason of their iniquity. As the dream of them that awake, O Lord; so in Thy city Thou shalt bring their image to nothing.


For my heart hath been inflamed, and my reins have been changed: And I am brought to nothing, and I knew not. I am become as a beast before Thee: and I am always with Thee. Thou hast held me by my right hand; and by Thy will Thou hast conducted me, and with Thy glory Thou hast received me. For what have I in Heaven? And besides Thee what do I desire upon earth?

For Thee my flesh and my heart hath fainted away: Thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion for ever. For behold they that go far from Thee shall perish: Thou hast destroyed all them that are disloyal to Thee. But it is good for me to adhere to my God, to put my hope in the Lord God: That I may declare all Thy praises, in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
