The Book of Psalms

  Psalm 76  

76:1 Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of Asaph.
In finem, pro Idithun. Psalmus Asaph.

76:2 I cried to the Lord with my voice; to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.
Voce mea ad Dominum clamavi; voce mea ad Deum, et intendit mihi.

76:3 In the day of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night: and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be comforted:
In die tribulationis meæ Deum exquisivi; manibus meis nocte contra eum, et non sum deceptus. Renuit consolari anima mea;

76:4 I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.
memor fui Dei, et delectatus sum, et exercitatus sum, et defecit spiritus meus.

76:5 My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.
Anticipaverunt vigilias oculi mei; turbatus sum, et non sum locutus.

76:6 I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.
Cogitavi dies antiquos, et annos æternos in mente habui.

76:7 And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised, and I swept my spirit.
Et meditatus sum nocte cum corde meo, et exercitabar, et scopebam spiritum meum.

76:8 Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?
Numquid in æternum projiciet Deus? aut non apponet ut complacitior sit adhuc?

76:9 Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation?
aut in finem misericordiam suam abscindet, a generatione in generationem?

76:10 Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?
aut obliviscetur misereri Deus? aut continebit in ira sua misericordias suas?

76:11 And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.
Et dixi: Nunc cœpi; hæc mutatio dexteræ Excelsi.

76:12 I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.
Memor fui operum Domini, quia memor ero ab initio mirabilium tuorum:

76:13 And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions.
et meditabor in omnibus operibus tuis, et in adinventionibus tuis exercebor.

76:14 Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God, like our God?
Deus, in sancto via tua: quis deus magnus sicut Deus noster?

76:15 Thou art the God that dost wonders. Thou hast made thy power known among the nations:
Tu es Deus qui facis mirabilia: notam fecisti in populis virtutem tuam.

76:16 with thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people, the children of Jacob, and of Joseph.
Redemisti in brachio tuo populum tuum, filios Jacob et Joseph.

76:17 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.
Viderunt te aquæ, Deus; viderunt te aquæ, et timuerunt: et turbatæ sunt abyssi.

76:18 Great was the noise of the waters: the clouds sent out a sound. For thy arrows pass:
Multitudo sonitus aquarum; vocem dederunt nubes. Etenim sagittæ tuæ transeunt;

76:19 the voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled.
vox tonitrui tui in rota. Illuxerunt coruscationes tuæ orbi terræ; commota est, et contremuit terra.

76:20 Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy footsteps shall not be known.
In mari via tua, et semitæ tuæ in aquis multis, et vestigia tua non cognoscentur.

76:21 Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Deduxisti sicut oves populum tuum, in manu Moysi et Aaron.
