Psalmi 109

NOVA VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Magistro chori. David. Psalmus. Deus laudis meae, ne tacueris,	1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Be not silent, O God of my praise!
2 quia os peccatoris et os dolosi super me apertum est. Locuti sunt adversum me lingua dolosa	2 For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, speaking against me with lying tongues.
3 et sermonibus odii circumdederunt me et expugnaverunt me gratis.	3 They beset me with words of hate, and attack me without cause.
4 Pro dilectione mea adversabantur mihi; ego autem orabam.	4 In return for my love they accuse me, even as I make prayer for them.
5 Et posuerunt adversum me mala pro bonis et odium pro dilectione mea.	5 So they reward me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Constitue super eum peccatorem, et adversarius stet a dextris eius.	6 Appoint a wicked man against him; let an accuser bring him to trial.
7 Cum iudicatur, exeat condemnatus, et oratio eius fiat in peccatum.	7 When he is tried, let him come forth guilty; let his prayer be counted as sin!
8 Fiant dies eius pauci, et ministerium eius accipiat alter.	8 May his days be few; may another seize his goods!
9 Fiant filii eius orphani, et uxor eius vidua.	9 May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow!
10 Instabiles vagentur filii eius et mendicent et eiciantur de ruinis suis. -	10 May his children wander about and beg; may they be driven out of the ruins they inhabit!
11 Scrutetur fenerator omnem substantiam eius, et diripiant alieni labores eius.	11 May the creditor seize all that he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil!
12 Non sit qui praebeat illi misericordiam, nec sit qui misereatur pupillis eius.	12 Let there be none to extend kindness to him, nor any to pity his fatherless children!
13 Fiant nati eius in interitum, in generatione una deleatur nomen eorum.	13 May his posterity be cut off; may his name be blotted out in the second generation!
14 In memoriam redeat iniquitas patrum eius in conspectu Domini, et peccatum matris eius non deleatur.	14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out!
15 Fiant contra Dominum semper, et disperdat de terra memoriam eorum.	15 Let them be before the LORD continually; and may his memory be cut off from the earth!
16 Pro eo quod non est recordatus facere misericordiam et persecutus est hominem inopem et mendicum et compunctum corde, ut mortificaret.	16 For he did not remember to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and the brokenhearted to their death.
17 Et dilexit maledictionem: et veniat ei; et noluit benedictionem: et elongetur ab eo.	17 He loved to curse; let curses come on him! He did not like blessing; may it be far from him!
18 Et induit maledictionem sicut vestimentum: et intret sicut aqua in interiora eius, et sicut oleum in ossa eius.	18 He clothed himself with cursing as his coat, may it soak into his body like water, like oil into his bones!
19 Fiat ei sicut indumentum, quo operitur, et sicut zona, qua semper praecingitur.	19 May it be like a garment which he wraps round him, like a belt with which he daily girds himself!
20 Haec retributio eorum, qui adversantur mihi apud Dominum, et qui loquuntur mala adversus animam meam.	20 May this be the reward of my accusers from the LORD, of those who speak evil against my life!
21 Et tu, Domine, Domine, fac mecum propter nomen tuum, quia suavis est misericordia tua; libera me,	21 But thou, O GOD my Lord, deal on my behalf for thy name's sake; because thy steadfast love is good, deliver me!
22 quia egenus et pauper ego sum, et cor meum vulneratum est intra me.	22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is stricken within me.
23 Sicut umbra, cum declinat, pertransii, excussus sum sicut locustae.	23 I am gone, like a shadow at evening; I am shaken off like a locust.
24 Genua mea infirmata sunt ieiunio, et caro mea contabuit absque oleo.	24 My knees are weak through fasting; my body has become gaunt.
25 Et ego factus sum opprobrium illis: viderunt me et moverunt capita sua.	25 I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they wag their heads.
26 Adiuva me, Domine Deus meus, salvum me fac secundum misericordiam tuam.	26 Help me, O LORD my God! Save me according to thy steadfast love!
27 Et sciant quia manus tua haec: tu, Domine, hoc fecisti.	27 Let them know that this is thy hand; thou, O LORD, hast done it!
28 Maledicant illi, et tu benedicas; qui insurgunt in me, confundantur, servus autem tuus laetabitur.	28 Let them curse, but do thou bless! Let my assailants be put to shame; may thy servant be glad!
29 Induantur, qui detrahunt mihi, pudore et operiantur sicut diploide confusione sua.	29 May my accusers be clothed with dishonor; may they be wrapped in their own shame as in a mantle!
30 Confitebor Domino nimis in ore meo et in medio multorum laudabo eum,	30 With my mouth I will give great thanks to the LORD; I will praise him in the midst of the throng.
31 quia astitit a dextris pauperis, ut salvam faceret a iudicantibus animam eius.	31 For he stands at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who condemn him to death.
