| 73 | 10 | How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach: is the adversary to provoke thy name for ever? | usquequo Deus exprobrabit adversarius blasphemabit inimicus nomen tuum in finem |
| 73 | 11 | Why dost thou turn away thy hand: and thy right hand out of the midst of thy bosom for ever? | quare convertis manum tuam et dexteram tuam ad medium sinum tuum consume |

| 73 | 21 | Let not the humble be turned away with confusion: the poor and needy shall praise thy name. | ne revertatur confractus et confusus egenus et pauper laudabunt nomen tuum |
| 73 | 22 | Arise, O God, judge thy own cause: remember thy reproaches with which the foolish man hath reproached thee all the day. | surge Deus iudica causam tuam memento obprobrii tui ab insipiente tota die |
| 73 | 23 | Forget not the voices of thy enemies: the pride of them that hate thee ascendeth continually. | ne obliviscaris vocis hostium tuorum sonitus adversariorum tuorum ascendit iugiter |
