Chapter 73
Psal CPDV 73:1  The understanding of Asaph. O God, why have you rejected us to the end. Why has your fury become enraged over the sheep of your pasture?
Psal CPDV 73:2  Be mindful of your congregation, which you have possessed from the beginning. You redeemed the scepter of your inheritance, mount Zion, in which you have dwelt.
Psal CPDV 73:3  Lift up your hands against their arrogance in the end. How great the malice of the enemy has been in the sanctuary!
Psal CPDV 73:4  And those who hate you have been glorified, in the midst of your solemnity. They have set up their own signs as a proof,
Psal CPDV 73:5  as if it had been issued from on high; yet they did not understand. As in a forest of chopped wood,
Psal CPDV 73:6  they have cut down the entrances themselves. With axe and hatchet, they have brought it down.
Psal CPDV 73:7  They have set fire to your Sanctuary. They have polluted the tabernacle of your name on earth.
Psal CPDV 73:8  They have said in their heart, the whole group of them together: “Let us cause all the feast days of God to cease from the land.
Psal CPDV 73:9  We have not seen our proof; there is now no prophet. And he will no longer know us.”
Psal CPDV 73:10  How long, O God, will the enemy place blame? Is the adversary to provoke your name until the end?
Psal CPDV 73:11  Why do you turn your hand away, even your right hand, from the midst of your sinews, until the end?
Psal CPDV 73:12  But God is our king before all ages. He has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
Psal CPDV 73:13  In your virtue, you confirmed the sea. You crushed the heads of the serpents in the waters.
Psal CPDV 73:14  You have broken the heads of the serpent. You have given him as food for the people of the Ethiopians.
Psal CPDV 73:15  You have disrupted the fountains and the torrents. You have dried up the rivers of Ethan.
Psal CPDV 73:16  Yours is the day, and yours is the night. You have made the morning light and the sun.
Psal CPDV 73:17  You have made all the limits of the earth. The summer and the spring were formed by you.
Psal CPDV 73:18  Be mindful of this: the enemy placed blame against the Lord, and a foolish people has incited against your name.
Psal CPDV 73:19  Do not hand over to beasts the souls that confess to you; and do not forget the souls of your poor until the end.
Psal CPDV 73:20  Consider your covenant. For those who have been darkened upon the earth have been filled by the iniquity of the houses.
Psal CPDV 73:21  Do not allow the humble to be turned away in confusion. The poor and the needy will praise your name.
Psal CPDV 73:22  Rise up, O God, judge your own case. Call to mind the accusations against you, which are made by the foolish all day long.
Psal CPDV 73:23  Do not forget the voices of your adversaries. The arrogance of those who hate you rises up continually.
