"And those who hate you have been glorified, in the midst of your solemnity. They have set up their own signs as a proof, "
— Psalms 73:4, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.”
“For there are no pangs in their death; But their strength is firm. ”
“For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.”
“For they suffer no pain; their bodies are strong and well-fed.”
“And they that hate thee have made their boasts, in the midst of thy solemnity. They have set up their ensigns for signs,”
“For they have no pain; their bodies are fat and strong.”
“For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.”
The understanding of Asaph. O God, why have you rejected us to the end. Why has your fury become enraged over the sheep of your pasture?
Be mindful of your congregation, which you have possessed from the beginning. You redeemed the scepter of your inheritance, mount Zion, in which you have dwelt.
Lift up your hands against their arrogance in the end. How great the malice of the enemy has been in the sanctuary!
And those who hate you have been glorified, in the midst of your solemnity. They have set up their own signs as a proof,
as if it had been issued from on high; yet they did not understand. As in a forest of chopped wood,
they have cut down the entrances themselves. With axe and hatchet, they have brought it down.
They have set fire to your Sanctuary. They have polluted the tabernacle of your name on earth.
