## Psalm 74 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

1. Unto the end. May you not be corrupted. A Canticle Psalm of Asaph.
2. We will confess to you, O God. We will confess, and we will call upon your name. We will describe your wonders.
3. While I have time, I will judge justices.
4. The earth has been dissolved, with all who dwell in it. I have confirmed its pillars.
5. I said to the iniquitous: “Do not act unjustly,” and to the offenders: “Do not exalt the horn.”
6. Do not exalt your horn on high. Do not speak iniquity against God.
7. For it is neither from the east, nor from the west, nor before the desert mountains.
8. For God is judge. This one he humbles and that one he exalts.
9. For, in the hand of the Lord, there is a cup of undiluted wine, full of consternation. And he has tipped it from here to there. So, truly, its dregs have not been emptied. All the sinners of the earth will drink.
10. But I will announce it in every age. I will sing to the God of Jacob.
11. And I will break all the horns of sinners. And the horns of the just will be exalted.

## Psalm 74 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592)

1. In finem, ne corrumpas. Psalmus cantici Asaph.
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.

## Bishop Challoner's notes

Bp. Richard Challoner, notes on the Douay-Rheims (1750); they comment on its older wording.
- Verse 1: It is believed to have been the beginning of some ode or hymn, to the tune of which this psalm was to be sung. St. Augustine and other fathers take it to be an admonition of the spirit of God, not to faint or fail in our hope: but to persevere with constancy in good: because God will not fail in his due time to render to every man according to his works.
- Verse 3: In proper times: particularly at the last day, when the earth shall melt away at the presence of the great Judge: the same who originally laid the foundations of it, and as it were established its pillars.
