Confitebimur tibi.

Psalm 74 in the Vulgate numbering this edition follows; Psalm 75 in the Hebrew numbering of most modern Bibles.

1Unto the end, corrupt not, a psalm of a canticle for Asaph. 2We will praise thee, O God: we will praise, and we will call upon thy name. We will relate thy wondrous works: 3When I shall take a time, I will judge justices. 4The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: I have established the pillars thereof. 5I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn. 6Lift not up your horn on high: speak not iniquity against God. 7For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills: 8For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up: 9For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture. And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: all the sinners of the earth shall drink. 10But I will declare for ever: I will sing to the God of Jacob. 11And I will break all the horns of sinners: but the horns of the just shall be exalted.
Psalm 74 of 150

Text: the Douay-Rheims Bible in Bishop Challoner’s revision, public domain, from Project Gutenberg ebook 8300, set unaltered — 150 psalms and 2,528 verses, checked for gaps. Challoner’s own notes are left out, as in the gospels; the summary at the head of each psalm is his and is labelled as his. Psalms are numbered as in the Latin Vulgate, which differs by one from the Hebrew numbering of most modern Bibles for most of the book; each psalm gives both.
