Psalms 89

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 A maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite.	1 Maskil. Ethan Ezrahitae.
2 The promises of the LORD I will sing forever, proclaim your loyalty through all ages.	2 Misericordias Domini in aeternum cantabo; in generationem et generationem annuntiabo veritatem tuam in ore meo.
3 For you said, "My love is established forever; my loyalty will stand as long as the heavens.	3 Quoniam dixisti: “ In aeternum misericordia aedificabitur ”, in caelis firmabitur veritas tua.
4 I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant:	4 “ Disposui testamentum electo meo, iuravi David servo meo:
5 I will make your dynasty stand forever and establish your throne through all ages." Selah	5 Usque in aeternum confirmabo semen tuum et aedificabo in generationem et generationem sedem tuam ”.
6 The heavens praise your marvels, LORD, your loyalty in the assembly of the holy ones.	6 Confitebuntur caeli mirabilia tua, Domine, etenim veritatem tuam in ecclesia sanctorum.
7 Who in the skies ranks with the LORD? Who is like the LORD among the gods?	7 Quoniam quis in nubibus aequabitur Domino, similis erit Domino in filiis Dei?
8 A God dreaded in the council of the holy ones, greater and more awesome than all who sit there!	8 Deus, metuendus in consilio sanctorum, magnus et terribilis super omnes, qui in circuitu eius sunt.
9 LORD, God of hosts, who is like you? Mighty LORD, your loyalty is always present.	9 Domine, Deus virtutum, quis similis tibi? Potens es, Domine, et veritas tua in circuitu tuo.
10 You rule the raging sea; you still its swelling waves.	10 Tu dominaris superbiae maris, elationes fluctuum eius tu mitigas.
11 You crushed Rahab with a mortal blow; your strong arm scattered your foes.	11 Tu conculcasti sicut vulneratum Rahab, in brachio virtutis tuae dispersisti inimicos tuos.
12 Yours are the heavens, yours the earth; you founded the world and everything in it.	12 Tui sunt caeli, et tua est terra, orbem terrae et plenitudinem eius tu fundasti;
13 Zaphon and Amanus you created; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.	13 Aquilonem et austrum tu creasti, Thabor et Hermon in nomine tuo exsultabunt.
14 Mighty your arm, strong your hand, your right hand is ever exalted.	14 Tibi brachium cum potentia; firma est manus tua, et exaltata dextera tua.
15 Justice and judgment are the foundation of your throne; love and loyalty march before you.	15 Iustitia et iudicium firmamentum sedis tuae. Misericordia et veritas praecedent faciem tuam.
16 Happy the people who know you, LORD, who walk in the radiance of your face.	16 Beatus populus, qui scit iubilationem. Domine, in lumine vultus tui ambulabunt
17 In your name they sing joyfully all the day; at your victory they raise the festal shout.	17 et in nomine tuo exsultabunt tota die et in iustitia tua exaltabuntur,
18 You are their majestic strength; by your favor our horn is exalted.	18 quoniam decor virtutis eorum tu es, et in beneplacito tuo exaltabitur cornu nostrum.
19 Truly the LORD is our shield, the Holy One of Israel, our king!	19 Quia Domini est scutum nostrum, et Sancti Israel rex noster.
20 Once you spoke in vision; to your faithful ones you said: "I have set a leader over the warriors; I have raised up a hero from the army.	20 Tunc locutus es in visione sanctis tuis et dixisti: “ Posui adiutorium in potente et exaltavi electum de plebe.
21 I have chosen David, my servant; with my holy oil I have anointed him.	21 Inveni David servum meum; oleo sancto meo unxi eum.
22 My hand will be with him; my arm will make him strong.	22 Manus enim mea firma erit cum eo, et brachium meum confortabit eum.
23 No enemy shall outwit him, nor shall the wicked defeat him.	23 Nihil proficiet inimicus in eo, et filius iniquitatis non opprimet eum.
24 I will crush his foes before him, strike down those who hate him.	24 Et concidam a facie ipsius inimicos eius et odientes eum percutiam.
25 My loyalty and love will be with him; through my name his horn will be exalted.	25 Et veritas mea et misericordia mea cum ipso, et in nomine meo exaltabitur cornu eius.
26 I will set his hand upon the sea, his right hand upon the rivers.	26 Et ponam super mare manum eius et super flumina dexteram eius.
27 He shall cry to me,'You are my father, my God, the Rock that brings me victory!'	27 Ipse invocabit me: “Pater meus es tu, Deus meus et refugium salutis meae”.
28 I myself make him firstborn, Most High over the kings of the earth.	28 Et ego primogenitum ponam illum, excelsum prae regibus terrae.
29 Forever I will maintain my love for him; my covenant with him stands firm.	29 In aeternum servabo illi misericordiam meam; et testamentum meum fidele ipsi.
30 I will establish his dynasty forever, his throne as the days of the heavens.	30 Et ponam in saeculum saeculi semen eius; et thronum eius sicut dies caeli.
31 If his descendants forsake my law, do not follow my decrees,	31 Si autem dereliquerint filii eius legem meam et in iudiciis meis non ambulaverint,
32 If they fail to observe my statutes, do not keep my commandments,	32 si iustificationes meas profanaverint et mandata mea non custodierint,
33 I will punish their crime with a rod and their guilt with lashes.	33 visitabo in virga delictum eorum et in verberibus iniquitatem eorum.
34 But I will not take my love from him, nor will I betray my bond of loyalty.	34 Misericordiam autem meam non avertam ab eo neque mentiar in veritate mea.
35 I will not violate my covenant; the promise of my lips I will not alter.	35 Non profanabo testamentum meum et, quae procedunt de labiis meis, non faciamirrita.
36 By my holiness I swore once for all: I will never be false to David.	36 Semel iuravi in sancto meo: David non mentiar.
37 His dynasty will continue forever, his throne, like the sun before me.	37 Semen eius in aeternum manebit, et thronus eius sicut sol in conspectu meo
38 Like the moon it will stand eternal, forever firm like the sky!" Selah	38 et sicut luna firmus stabit in aeternum et testis in caelo fidelis ”.
39 But now you have rejected and spurned, been enraged at your anointed.	39 Tu vero reppulisti et reiecisti, iratus es contra christum tuum;
40 You renounced the covenant with your servant, defiled his crown in the dust.	40 evertisti testamentum servi tui, profanasti in terram diadema eius.
41 You broke down all his defenses, left his strongholds in ruins.	41 Destruxisti omnes muros eius, posuisti munitiones eius in ruinas.
42 All who pass through seize plunder; his neighbors deride him.	42 Diripuerunt eum omnes transeuntes viam, factus est opprobrium vicinis suis.
43 You have exalted the right hand of his foes, have gladdened all his enemies.	43 Exaltasti dexteram deprimentium eum, laetificasti omnes inimicos eius.
44 You turned back his sharp sword, did not support him in battle.	44 Avertisti aciem gladii eius et non es auxiliatus ei in bello.
45 You brought to an end his splendor, hurled his throne to the ground.	45 Finem posuisti splendori eius et sedem eius in terram collisisti.
46 You cut short the days of his youth, covered him with shame. Selah	46 Minorasti dies iuventutis eius, perfudisti eum confusione.
47 How long, LORD? Will you stay hidden forever? Must your wrath smolder like fire?	47 Usquequo, Domine, absconderis in finem, exardescet sicut ignis ira tua?
48 Remember how brief is my life, how frail the race you created!	48 Memorare, quam brevis mea substantia. Ad quam vanitatem creasti omnes filios hominum?
49 What mortal can live and not see death? Who can escape the power of Sheol? Selah	49 Quis est homo, qui vivet et non videbit mortem, eruet animam suam de manu inferi?
50 Where are your promises of old, Lord, the loyalty sworn to David?	50 Ubi sunt misericordiae tuae antiquae, Domine, sicut iurasti David in veritate tua?
51 Remember, Lord, the insults to your servants, how I bear all the slanders of the nations.	51 Memor esto, Domine, opprobrii servorum tuorum, quod continui in sinu meo, multarum gentium,
52 Your enemies, LORD, insult your anointed; they insult my every endeavor.	52 quo exprobraverunt inimici tui, Domine, quo exprobraverunt vestigia christi tui.
53 Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and amen!	53 Benedictus Dominus in aeternum. Fiat, fiat.
