| 2 ἐξομολογησόμεθά σοι ὁ θεός ἐξομολογησόμεθα καὶ ἐπικαλεσόμεθα τὸ ὄνομά σου 3 διηγήσομαι πάντα τὰ θαυμάσιά σου ὅταν λάβω καιρόν ἐγὼ εὐθύτητας κρινῶ 4 ἐτάκη ἡ γῆ καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν αὐτῇ ἐγὼ ἐστερέωσα τοὺς στύλους αὐτῆς διάψαλμα 5 εἶπα τοῖς παρανομοῦσιν μὴ παρανομεῖτε καὶ τοῖς ἁμαρτάνουσιν μὴ ὑψοῦτε κέρας 6 μὴ ἐπαίρετε εἰς ὕψος τὸ κέρας ὑμῶν μὴ λαλεῖτε κατὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ἀδικίαν 7 ὅτι οὔτε ἀπὸ ἐξόδων οὔτε ἀπὸ δυσμῶν οὔτε ἀπὸ ἐρήμων ὀρέων 8 ὅτι ὁ θεὸς κριτής ἐστιν τοῦτον ταπεινοῖ καὶ τοῦτον ὑψοῖ 9 ὅτι ποτήριον ἐν χειρὶ κυρίου οἴνου ἀκράτου πλῆρες κεράσματος καὶ ἔκλινεν ἐκ τούτου εἰς τοῦτο πλὴν ὁ τρυγίας αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐξεκενώθη πίονται πάντες οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ τῆς γῆς 10 ἐγὼ δὲ ἀγαλλιάσομαι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ψαλῶ τῷ θεῷ Ιακωβ 11 καὶ πάντα τὰ κέρατα τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν συγκλάσω καὶ ὑψωθήσεται τὰ κέρατα τοῦ δικαίου |
2 We praise thee, O God, and, praising thee, call upon thy name, tell the story of thy wondrous deeds. 3 When the time is ripe, I will judge strictly; 4 earth rocks to its fall, and all that dwell on it; I alone support its fabric.[1] 5 Rebel no more, I cry to the rebels, Abate your pride, to the transgressors; 6 would they match themselves against the most High, hurl defiance at God? 7 Look east, look west, it will avail you nothing; no help comes from the desert, or the high hills; 8 it is God who rules all, humbling one man and exalting another. 9 In the Lord’s hand foams a full cup of spiced wine; he holds it to men’s lips, that must empty it to the dregs, sinners everywhere must drink them. 10 Evermore will I triumph, singing praises to the God of Jacob; 11 mine to crush the pride of every sinner, and raise high the courage of the just. |
2 Confitebimur tibi, Deus, confitebimur,
et invocabimus nomen tuum;
narrabimus mirabilia tua. 3
Cum accepero tempus,
ego justitias judicabo. 4
Liquefacta est terra et omnes qui habitant in ea:
ego confirmavi columnas ejus. 5
Dixi iniquis: Nolite inique agere:
et delinquentibus: Nolite exaltare cornu: 6
nolite extollere in altum cornu vestrum;
nolite loqui adversus Deum iniquitatem. 7
Quia neque ab oriente, neque ab occidente,
neque a desertis montibus: 8
quoniam Deus judex est.
Hunc humiliat, et hunc exaltat: 9
quia calix in manu Domini vini meri, plenus misto.
Et inclinavit ex hoc in hoc;
verumtamen fæx ejus non est exinanita:
bibent omnes peccatores terræ. 10
Ego autem annuntiabo in sæculum;
cantabo Deo Jacob: 11
et omnia cornua peccatorum confringam,
et exaltabuntur cornua justi. |
