| 9 ἀπὸ πλήθους συκοφαντούμενοι κεκράξονται βοήσονται ἀπὸ βραχίονος πολλῶν 10 καὶ οὐκ εἶπεν ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας με ὁ κατατάσσων φυλακὰς νυκτερινάς 11 ὁ διορίζων με ἀπὸ τετραπόδων γῆς ἀπὸ δὲ πετεινῶν οὐρανοῦ 12 ἐκεῖ κεκράξονται καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ καὶ ἀπὸ ὕβρεως πονηρῶν 13 ἄτοπα γὰρ οὐ βούλεται ὁ κύριος ἰδεῖν αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ παντοκράτωρ ὁρατής ἐστιν 14 τῶν συντελούντων τὰ ἄνομα καὶ σώσει με κρίθητι δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ εἰ δύνασαι αἰνέσαι αὐτόν ὡς ἔστιν 15 καὶ νῦν ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπισκεπτόμενος ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω παραπτώματι σφόδρα |
9 … Cries and groans there are in plenty when oppression abounds, when tyranny holds unchecked sway;[2] 10 Where is God? men ask; yet never did they seek to find him when he brought triumph in the hour of distress, 11 the God who teaches them such lessons as he never gave to beast or bird. 12 Only then, only when the wicked lord it over them, men cry out, but their cry goes unheard; 13 should God concern himself with these random complaints, he, the Almighty, examine their pleadings one by one? 14 Nay, when he seems to take no heed, submit thyself to his judgement and await his hour; 15 thy present sufferings do not betoken his anger, he is not taking vengeance to the full. |

Propter multitudinem calumniatorum clamabunt,
et ejulabunt propter vim brachii tyrannorum. 10
Et non dixit: Ubi est Deus qui fecit me,
qui dedit carmina in nocte; 11
qui docet nos super jumenta terræ,
et super volucres cæli erudit nos? 12
Ibi clamabunt, et non exaudiet,
propter superbiam malorum. 13
Non ergo frustra audiet Deus,
et Omnipotens causas singulorum intuebitur. 14
Etiam cum dixeris: Non considerat:
judicare coram illo, et expecta eum. 15
Nunc enim non infert furorem suum,
nec ulciscitur scelus valde. |
