Salmos 74
Brenton's English Septuagint
1A Psalm of Gr. understanding instruction for Asaph. - Wherefore hast thou rejected us, O God, for ever? wherefore is thy wrath kindled against the sheep of thy pasture?
2Remember thy congregation which thou hast purchased from the beginning; thou didst ransom the rod of thine inheritance; this mount Sion wherein thou hast dwelt.
3Lift up thine hands against their pride continually; because of all that the enemy has done wickedly in thy holy places.
4And they that hate thee have boasted in the midst of thy feast; they have set up their standards for signs,
5ignorantly as it were in the entrance above;
6they cut down its doors at once with axes as in a wood of trees; they have broken it down with hatchet and stone cutter.
7They have burnt thy sanctuary with fire to the ground; they have profaned the Gr. tabernacle habitation of thy name.
8They have said in their heart, even all their kindred together, Come, let us abolish the feasts of the Lord from the earth.
9We have not seen our signs; there is no longer a prophet; and God will not know us any more.
10How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach? shall the enemy provoke thy name forever?
11Wherefore turnest thou away thine hand, and thy right hand from the midst of thy bosom for ever?
12But God is our King Gr. before the age of old; he has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
13Thou didst establish the sea, in thy might, thou didst break to pieces the heads of the Or, serpents dragons in the water.
14Thou didst break to pieces the heads of the dragon; thou didst give him for meat to the Ethiopian nations.
15Thou didst cleave fountains and torrents; thou driedst up Heb. rivers of Etham mighty rivers.
16The day is thine, and the night is thine; thou hast prepared the sun and the moon.
17Thou hast made all the borders of the earth; thou hast made summer and spring.
18Remember this thy creation: an enemy has reproached the Lord, and a foolish people has provoked thy name.
19Deliver not to the wild beasts a soul that gives praise to thee: forget not for ever the souls of thy poor.
20Look upon thy covenant: for the dark places of the earth are filled with the habitations of iniquity.
21let not the afflicted and shamed one be rejected: the poor and needy shall praise thy name.
22Arise, O God, plead thy cause: remember thy reproaches that come from the foolish one all the day.
23Forget not the voice of thy suppliants: let the pride of them that hate thee continually ascend before thee.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Masquil de Asaph. ¿POR qué, oh Dios, nos has desechado para siempre? ¿por qué ha humeado tu furor contra las ovejas de tu dehesa?
2Acuérdate de tu congregación, que adquiriste de antiguo, cuando redimiste la vara de tu heredad; este monte de Sión, donde has habitado.
3Levanta tus pies á los asolamientos eternos: á todo enemigo que ha hecho mal en el santuario.
4Tus enemigos han bramado en medio de tus sinagogas: han puesto sus divisas por señas.
5Cualquiera se hacía famoso según que había levantado el hacha sobre los gruesos maderos.
6Y ahora con hachas y martillos han quebrado todas sus entalladuras.
7Han puesto á fuego tus santuarios, han profanado el tabernáculo de tu nombre echándolo á tierra.
8Dijeron en su corazón: Destruyámoslos de una vez; han quemado todas las sinagogas de Dios en la tierra.
9No vemos ya nuestras señales: no hay más profeta; ni con nosotros hay quien sepa hasta cuándo.
10¿Hasta cuándo, oh Dios, el angustiador nos afrentará? ¿ha de blasfemar el enemigo perpetuamente tu nombre?
11¿Por qué retraes tu mano, y tu diestra? ¿por qué la escondes dentro de tu seno?
12Empero Dios es mi rey ya de antiguo; el que obra saludes en medio de la tierra.
13Tú hendiste la mar con tu fortaleza: quebrantaste cabezas de ballenas en las aguas.
14Tú magullaste las cabezas del leviathán; dístelo por comida al pueblo de los desiertos.
15Tú abriste fuente y río; tú secaste ríos impetuosos.
16Tuyo es el día, tuya también es la noche: tú aparejaste la luna y el sol.
17Tú estableciste todos los términos de la tierra: el verano y el invierno tú los formaste.
18Acuérdate de esto: que el enemigo ha dicho afrentas á Jehová, y que el pueblo insensato ha blasfemado tu nombre.
19No entregues á las bestias el alma de tu tórtola: y no olvides para siempre la congregación de tus afligidos.
20Mira al pacto: porque las tenebrosidades de la tierra llenas están de habitaciones de violencia.
21No vuelva avergonzado el abatido: el afligido y el menesteroso alabarán tu nombre.
22Levántate, oh Dios, aboga tu causa: acuérdate de cómo el insensato te injuria cada día.
23No olvides las voces de tus enemigos: el alboroto de los que se levantan contra ti sube continuamente.
King James Version
1O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
3Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
5A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
7They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
8They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
9We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
11Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.
12For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
16The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
17Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
18Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
19O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
20Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
21O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
22Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
23Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
World English Bible
1God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
2Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance: Mount Zion, in which you have lived.
3Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
4Your adversaries have roared in the middle of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.
5They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.
6Now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers.
7They have burned your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling place of your Name.
8They said in their heart, “We will crush them completely.” They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped.
9We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.
10How long, God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
11Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it from your chest and consume them!
12Yet God is my King of old, working salvation throughout the earth.
13You divided the sea by your strength. You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
14You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces. You gave him as food to people and desert creatures.
15You opened up spring and stream. You dried up mighty rivers.
16The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.
17You have set all the boundaries of the earth. You have made summer and winter.
18Remember this, that the enemy has mocked you, LORD. Foolish people have blasphemed your name.
19Don’t deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts. Don’t forget the life of your poor forever.
20Honor your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.
21Don’t let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor and needy praise your name.
22Arise, God! Plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks you all day.
23Don’t forget the voice of your adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.
