AVM · Bíblia Sagrada Ave-Maria
1 Hino de Asaf. Por que, Senhor, persistis em nos rejeitar? Por que se inflama vossa ira contra as ovelhas de vosso rebanho?
2 Recordai-vos de vosso povo que elegestes outrora, da tribo que resgatastes para vossa possessão, da montanha de Sião onde fizestes vossa morada.
3 Dirigi vossos passos a estes lugares definitivamente devastados; o inimigo tudo destruiu no santuário.
4 Os adversários rugiam no local de vossas assembleias, como troféus hastearam suas bandeiras.
5 Pareciam homens a vibrar o machado na floresta espessa.
6 Rebentaram os portais do templo com malhos e martelos,
7 atearam fogo ao vosso santuário, profanaram, arrasaram a morada do vosso nome.
8 Disseram em seus corações: "Destruamo-los todos juntos; incendiai todos os lugares santos da terra".
9 Não vemos mais nossos emblemas, já não há nenhum profeta e ninguém entre nós que saiba até quando...
10 Ó Deus, até quando nos insultará o inimigo? O adversário blasfemará vosso nome para sempre?
11 Por que retirais a vossa mão? Por que guardais vossa destra em vosso seio?
12 Entretanto, Deus é meu rei desde os tempos antigos, ele que opera a salvação por toda a terra.
13 Vosso poder abriu o mar, esmagastes nas águas as cabeças de dragões.
14 Quebrastes as cabeças do Leviatã, e as destes como pasto aos monstros do mar.
15 Fizestes jorrar fontes e torrentes, secastes rios caudalosos.
16 Vosso é o dia, a noite vos pertence: vós criastes a lua e o sol,
17 Vós marcastes à terra seus confins, estabelecestes o inverno e o verão.
18 Lembrai-vos: o inimigo vos insultou, Senhor, e um povo insensato ultrajou o vosso nome.
19 Não abandoneis ao abutre a vida de vossa pomba, não esqueçais para sempre a vida de vossos pobres.
20 Olhai para a vossa aliança, porque todos os recantos da terra são antros de violência.
21 Que os oprimidos não voltem confundidos, que o pobre e o indigente possam louvar o vosso nome.
22 Levantai-vos, ó Deus, defendei a vossa causa. Lembrai-vos das blasfêmias que continuamente vos dirige o insensato.
23 Não olvideis os insultos de vossos adversários, e o tumulto crescente dos que se insurgem contra vós.

A Psalm of Asaph.
1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.73.1 of: or, for73.1 Truly: or, Yet73.1 of…: Heb. clean of heart
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.73.4 firm: Heb. fat
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.73.5 in…: Heb. in the trouble of other men73.5 like: Heb. with
6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.73.7 have…: Heb. pass the thoughts of the heart
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.73.14 chastened: Heb. my chastisement was
15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;73.16 too…: Heb. labour in mine eyes
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.73.22 ignorant: Heb. I knew not73.22 before: Heb. with
23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.73.26 strength: Heb. rock
27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
