1 Intellectus Asaph. [Ut quid, Deus, repulisti in finem, iratus est furor tuus super oves pascuæ tuæ?
74:1 Masquil de Asaph. ¿POR qué, oh Dios, [nos] has desechado para siempre? ¿por qué ha humeado tu furor contra las ovejas de tu dehesa?
74:1 A contemplation by Asaph. God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
2 Memor esto congregationis tuæ, quam possedisti ab initio. Redemisti virgam hæreditatis tuæ, mons Sion, in quo habitasti in eo.
74:2 Acuérdate de tu congregación, que adquiriste de antiguo, [cuando] redimiste la vara de tu heredad; este monte de Sión, donde has habitado.
74:2 Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance: Mount Zion, in which you have lived.
3 Leva manus tuas in superbias eorum in finem: quanta malignatus est inimicus in sancto !
74:3 Levanta tus pies á los asolamientos eternos: á todo enemigo que ha hecho mal en el santuario.
74:3 Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
4 Et gloriati sunt qui oderunt te in medio solemnitatis tuæ; posuerunt signa sua, signa:
74:4 Tus enemigos han bramado en medio de tus sinagogas: han puesto sus divisas por señas.
74:4 Your adversaries have roared in the middle of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.
5 et non cognoverunt sicut in exitu super summum. Quasi in silva lignorum securibus
74:5 [Cualquiera] se hacía famoso según que había levantado el hacha sobre los gruesos maderos.
74:5 They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.
6 exciderunt januas ejus in idipsum; in securi et ascia dejecerunt eam.

7 Incenderunt igni sanctuarium tuum; in terra polluerunt tabernaculum nominis tui.
74:7 Han puesto á fuego tus santuarios, han profanado el tabernáculo de tu nombre [echándolo] á tierra.
74:7 They have burned your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling place of your Name.
8 Dixerunt in corde suo cognatio eorum simul: Quiescere faciamus omnes dies festos Dei a terra.
74:8 Dijeron en su corazón: Destruyámoslos de una vez; han quemado todas las sinagogas de Dios en la tierra.
74:8 They said in their heart, “We will crush them completely.” They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped.
9 Signa nostra non vidimus; jam non est propheta; et nos non cognoscet amplius.
74:9 No vemos ya nuestras señales: no hay más profeta; ni con nosotros hay quien sepa hasta cuándo.
74:9 We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.

74:10 ¿Hasta cuándo, oh Dios, el angustiador [nos] afrentará? ¿ha de blasfemar el enemigo perpetuamente tu nombre?
74:10 How long, God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
11 Ut quid avertis manum tuam, et dexteram tuam de medio sinu tuo in finem?
74:11 ¿Por qué retraes tu mano, y tu diestra? ¿[por qué] la escondes dentro de tu seno?
74:11 Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it from your chest and consume them!
12 Deus autem rex noster ante sæcula: operatus est salutem in medio terræ.
74:12 Empero Dios es mi rey ya de antiguo; el que obra saludes en medio de la tierra.
74:12 Yet God is my King of old, working salvation throughout the earth.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 74.
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
This Psalm hath an inscription, that is, a title, "There have failed the hymns of David, the son of Jesse. A Psalm of Asaph himself." So many Psalms we have on the titles whereof is written the name David, nowhere there is added, "son of Jesse," except in this alone.

It is not my word, but it is a prophet who hath said, Thou hast wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
