| (A maskil. Of Asaph.)O God, hast thou altogether abandoned us? Sheep of thy own pasturing, must we feel the fires of thy vengeance? | Intellectus Asaph. |
| 1 συνέσεως τῷ Ασαφ ἵνα τί ἀπώσω ὁ θεός εἰς τέλος ὠργίσθη ὁ θυμός σου ἐπὶ πρόβατα νομῆς σου 2 μνήσθητι τῆς συναγωγῆς σου ἧς ἐκτήσω ἀ{P'} ἀρχῆς ἐλυτρώσω ῥάβδον κληρονομίας σου ὄρος Σιων τοῦτο ὃ κατεσκήνωσας ἐν αὐτῷ 3 ἔπαρον τὰς χεῖράς σου ἐπὶ τὰς ὑπερηφανίας αὐτῶν εἰς τέλος ὅσα ἐπονηρεύσατο ὁ ἐχθρὸς ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις σου 4 καὶ ἐνεκαυχήσαντο οἱ μισοῦντές σε ἐν μέσῳ τῆς ἑορτῆς σου ἔθεντο τὰ σημεῖα αὐτῶν σημεῖα καὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν 5 ὡς εἰς τὴν εἴσοδον ὑπεράνω 6 ὡς ἐν δρυμῷ ξύλων ἀξίναις ἐξέκοψαν τὰς θύρας αὐτῆς ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ἐν πελέκει καὶ λαξευτηρίῳ κατέρραξαν αὐτήν 7 ἐνεπύρισαν ἐν πυρὶ τὸ ἁγιαστήριόν σου εἰς τὴν γῆν ἐβεβήλωσαν τὸ σκήνωμα τοῦ ὀνόματός σου 8 εἶπαν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν ἡ συγγένεια αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό δεῦτε καὶ κατακαύσωμεν πάσας τὰς ἑορτὰς τοῦ θεοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς 9 τὰ σημεῖα ἡμῶν οὐκ εἴδομεν οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι προφήτης καὶ ἡμᾶς οὐ γνώσεται ἔτι 10 ἕως πότε ὁ θεός ὀνειδιεῖ ὁ ἐχθρός παροξυνεῖ ὁ ὑπεναντίος τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τέλος 11 ἵνα τί ἀποστρέφεις τὴν χεῖρά σου καὶ τὴν δεξιάν σου ἐκ μέσου τοῦ κόλπου σου εἰς τέλος | 1 O God, hast thou altogether abandoned us? Sheep of thy own pasturing, must we feel the fires of thy vengeance? 2 Bethink thee of the company thou hast gathered, long ago; of the tribe thou hast chosen to be thy domain; of mount Sion, where thou hast thy dwelling-place. 3 Hither turn thy steps, where all is ruin irretrievable; see what havoc thy enemies have wrought in the holy place, 4 how their malice has raged in thy very precincts,[1] setting up its emblems 5 for a trophy of conquest. Blow after blow, like woodmen in the forest, 6 they have plied their axes, brought it down, with pick and mallet, to the ground. 7 They have set fire to thy sanctuary, sullied the dwelling-place of thy glory in the dust. 8 They think to destroy us like one man, sweep away every shrine of God in the land. 9 Our own emblems are nowhere to be seen; there are no prophets left now, none can tell how long we must endure. 10 O God, shall our enemy taunt us everlastingly, shall blasphemy still defy thy name? 11 Why dost thou withhold thy hand? That right hand of thine, must it always lie idle in thy bosom? | 1 Ut quid, Deus, repulisti in finem, iratus est furor tuus super oves pascuæ tuæ? 2 Memor esto congregationis tuæ, quam possedisti ab initio. Redemisti virgam hæreditatis tuæ, mons Sion, in quo habitasti in eo. 3 Leva manus tuas in superbias eorum in finem: quanta malignatus est inimicus in sancto! 4 Et gloriati sunt qui oderunt te in medio solemnitatis tuæ; posuerunt signa sua, signa: 5 et non cognoverunt sicut in exitu super summum. Quasi in silva lignorum securibus 6 exciderunt januas ejus in idipsum; in securi et ascia dejecerunt eam. 7 Incenderunt igni sanctuarium tuum; in terra polluerunt tabernaculum nominis tui. 8 Dixerunt in corde suo cognatio eorum simul: Quiescere faciamus omnes dies festos Dei a terra. 9 Signa nostra non vidimus; jam non est propheta; et nos non cognoscet amplius. 10 Usquequo, Deus, improperabit inimicus? irritat adversarius nomen tuum in finem? 11 Ut quid avertis manum tuam, et dexteram tuam de medio sinu tuo in finem? |
| 12 ὁ δὲ θεὸς βασιλεὺς ἡμῶν πρὸ αἰῶνος εἰργάσατο σωτηρίαν ἐν μέσῳ τῆς γῆς 13 σὺ ἐκραταίωσας ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου τὴν θάλασσαν σὺ συνέτριψας τὰς κεφαλὰς τῶν δρακόντων ἐπὶ τοῦ ὕδατος 14 σὺ συνέθλασας τὰς κεφαλὰς τοῦ δράκοντος ἔδωκας αὐτὸν βρῶμα λαοῖς τοῖς Αἰθίοψιν 15 σὺ διέρρηξας πηγὰς καὶ χειμάρρους σὺ ἐξήρανας ποταμοὺς Ηθαμ 16 σή ἐστιν ἡ ἡμέρα καὶ σή ἐστιν ἡ νύξ σὺ κατηρτίσω φαῦσιν καὶ ἥλιον 17 σὺ ἐποίησας πάντα τὰ ὅρια τῆς γῆς θέρος καὶ ἔαρ σὺ ἔπλασας αὐτά | 12 Mine is a King who reigned before time was; here on earth he was the means to bring deliverance. 13 What power but thine could sunder the shifting sea, crush the power of the monster beneath its waters; 14 shatter Leviathan’s power, and give him up as prey to the sea-beasts?[2] 15 Thou didst open up fountains and streams of water; thou, too, madest the swollen rivers run dry. 16 Thine is the day, thine the night; moon and sun are of thy appointment; 17 thou hast fixed all the bounds of earth, madest the summer, madest the cool of the year. | 12 Deus autem rex noster ante sæcula: operatus est salutem in medio terræ. 13 Tu confirmasti in virtute tua mare; contribulasti capita draconum in aquis. 14 Tu confregisti capita draconis; dedisti eum escam populis Æthiopum. 15 Tu dirupisti fontes et torrentes; tu siccasti fluvios Ethan. 16 Tuus est dies, et tua est nox; tu fabricatus es auroram et solem. 17 Tu fecisti omnes terminos terræ; æstatem et ver tu plasmasti ea. |
| 18 μνήσθητι ταύτης ἐχθρὸς ὠνείδισεν τὸν κύριον καὶ λαὸς ἄφρων παρώξυνεν τὸ ὄνομά σου 19 μὴ παραδῷς τοῖς θηρίοις ψυχὴν ἐξομολογουμένην σοι τῶν ψυχῶν τῶν πενήτων σου μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ εἰς τέλος 20 ἐπίβλεψον εἰς τὴν διαθήκην σου ὅτι ἐπληρώθησαν οἱ ἐσκοτισμένοι τῆς γῆς οἴκων ἀνομιῶν 21 μὴ ἀποστραφήτω τεταπεινωμένος κατῃσχυμμένος πτωχὸς καὶ πένης αἰνέσουσιν τὸ ὄνομά σου 22 ἀνάστα ὁ θεός δίκασον τὴν δίκην σου μνήσθητι τῶν ὀνειδισμῶν σου τῶν ὑπὸ ἄφρονος ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν 23 μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ τῆς φωνῆς τῶν ἱκετῶν σου ἡ ὑπερηφανία τῶν μισούντων σε ἀνέβη διὰ παντὸς πρὸς σέ | 18 Wilt thou take no heed, when thy enemies taunt thee, and in their recklessness set the divine name at defiance? 19 Must the dove be the vulture’s prey? Souls unbefriended, but for thee, wilt thou leave us quite forgotten? 20 Bethink thee of thy covenant; everywhere oppression lurks, or walks openly through the fields. 21 Do not let the humble go away disappointed; teach the poor and the helpless to exalt thy name. 22 Bestir thyself, O God, to vindicate thy own cause; do not forget the taunts which reckless men hurl at thee, day after day; 23 do not overlook them, the triumphant shouts of thy enemies, the ever growing clamour that here defies thee. | 18 Memor esto hujus: inimicus improperavit Domino, et populus insipiens incitavit nomen tuum. 19 Ne tradas bestiis animas confitentes tibi, et animas pauperum tuorum ne obliviscaris in finem. 20 Respice in testamentum tuum, quia repleti sunt qui obscurati sunt terræ domibus iniquitatum. 21 Ne avertatur humilis factus confusus; pauper et inops laudabunt nomen tuum. 22 Exsurge, Deus, judica causam tuam; memor esto improperiorum tuorum, eorum quæ ab insipiente sunt tota die. 23 Ne obliviscaris voces inimicorum tuorum: superbia eorum qui te oderunt ascendit semper. |
[1] Literally, ‘thy solemn feast’.
[2] vv. 12-15. Some think these verses refer to the escape of Israel from Egypt and the miracles done in the wilderness, Leviathan (perhaps the crocodile) being used as a symbol of Egypt. Others think the whole is an allegorical account of the Creation.
