1 In thy divine vengeance, Lord, in thy divine vengeance stand revealed! 2 Judge of the world, mount thy throne, and give the proud their deserts! 3 Must it be the sinners still, Lord, the sinners still that triumph? 4 Shall there be no end to the prating, the rebellious talk, the boastfulness of wrong-doers? 5 See, Lord, how they crush down thy people, afflict the land of thy choice, 6 murder the widow and the stranger, slay the orphan! 7 And they think, The Lord will never see it, the God of Israel pays no heed. 8 Pay heed, rather, yourselves, dull hearts that count among my people; fools, learn your lesson ere it is too late. 9 Is he deaf, the God who implanted hearing in us; is he blind, the God who gave us eyes to see? 10 He who gives nations their schooling, who taught man all that man knows, will he not call you to account? 11 The Lord looks into men’s hearts, and finds there illusion. |
1 Deus ultionum Dominus;
Deus ultionum libere egit. 2
Exaltare, qui judicas terram;
redde retributionem superbis. 3
Usquequo peccatores, Domine,
usquequo peccatores gloriabuntur; 4
effabuntur et loquentur iniquitatem;
loquentur omnes qui operantur injustitiam? 5
Populum tuum, Domine, humiliaverunt,
et hæreditatem tuam vexaverunt. 6
Viduam et advenam interfecerunt,
et pupillos occiderunt. 7
Et dixerunt: Non videbit Dominus,
nec intelliget Deus Jacob. 8
Intelligite, insipientes in populo;
et stulti, aliquando sapite. 9
Qui plantavit aurem non audiet?
aut qui finxit oculum non considerat? 10
Qui corripit gentes non arguet,
qui docet hominem scientiam? 11
Dominus scit cogitationes hominum,
quoniam vanæ sunt. |
