Psalms 71

DOUAI-RHEIMS	VULGATA
1 A psalm for David. Of the sons of Jonadab, and the former captives. In thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion:	1 Psalmus, in Salomonem.
2 deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me. Incline thy ear unto me, and save me.	2 Deus, judicium tuum regi da, et justitiam tuam filio regis ; judicare populum tuum in justitia, et pauperes tuos in judicio.
3 Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: that thou mayst make me safe. For thou art my firmament and my refuge.	3 Suscipiant montes pacem populo, et colles justitiam.
4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the sinner, and out of the hand of the transgressor of the law and of the unjust.	4 Judicabit pauperes populi, et salvos faciet filios pauperum, et humiliabit calumniatorem.
5 For thou art my patience, O Lord: my hope, O Lord, from my youth;	5 Et permanebit cum sole, et ante lunam, in generatione et generationem.
6 By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: from my mother's womb thou art my protector. Of thee shall I continually sing:	6 Descendet sicut pluvia in vellus, et sicut stillicidia stillantia super terram.
7 I run become unto many as a wonder, but thou art a strong helper.	7 Orietur in diebus ejus justitia, et abundantia pacis, donec auferatur luna.
8 Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; thy greatness all the day long.	8 Et dominabitur a mari usque ad mare, et a flumine usque ad terminos orbis terrarum.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age: when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me.	9 Coram illo procident Æthiopes, et inimici ejus terram lingent.
10 For my enemies have spoken against me; and they that watched my soul have consulted together,	10 Reges Tharsis et insulæ munera offerent ; reges Arabum et Saba dona adducent :
11 Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.	11 et adorabunt eum omnes reges terræ ; omnes gentes servient ei.
12 O God, be not thou far from me: O my God, make haste to my help.	12 Quia liberabit pauperem a potente, et pauperem cui non erat adjutor.
13 Let them be confounded and come to nothing that detract my soul; let them be covered with confusion and shame that seek my hurt.	13 Parcet pauperi et inopi, et animas pauperum salvas faciet.
14 But I will always hope; and will add to all thy praise.	14 Ex usuris et iniquitate redimet animas eorum, et honorabile nomen eorum coram illo.
15 My mouth shall shew forth thy justice; thy salvation all the day long. Because I have not knows learning,	15 Et vivet, et dabitur ei de auro Arabiæ ; et adorabunt de ipso semper, tota die benedicent ei.
16 I will enter into the powers of the Lord: O Lord, I will be mindful of thy justice alone.	16 Et erit firmamentum in terra in summis montium ; superextolletur super Libanum fructus ejus, et florebunt de civitate sicut f?num terræ.
17 Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: and till now I will declare thy wonderful works.	17 Sit nomen ejus benedictum in sæcula ; ante solem permanet nomen ejus. Et benedicentur in ipso omnes tribus terræ ; omnes gentes magnificabunt eum.
18 And unto old age and grey hairs: O God, forsake me not, Until I shew forth thy arm to all the generation that is to come: Thy power,	18 Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, qui facit mirabilia solus.
19 and thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: O God, who is like to thee?	19 Et benedictum nomen majestatis ejus in æternum, et replebitur majestate ejus omnis terra. Fiat, fiat.
20 How great troubles hast thou shewn me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth :	20 Defecerunt laudes David, filii Jesse.
21 Thou hast multiplied thy magnificence; and turning to me thou hast comforted me.
22 For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: O God, I will sing to thee with the harp, thou holy one of Israel.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I shall sing to thee; and my soul which thou hast redeemed.
24 Yea and my tongue shall meditate on thy justice all the day; when they shall be confounded and put to shame that seek evils to me.
