Psalms 71

NEW JERUSALEM	VULGATA
1 In you, Yahweh, I take refuge, I shal never be put to shame.	1 Psalmus, in Salomonem.
2 In your saving justice rescue me, deliver me, listen to 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 a sheltering rock for me, always accessible; you have determined to save me, for you are my rock,my fortress.	3 Suscipiant montes pacem populo, et colles justitiam.
4 My God, rescue me from the clutches of the wicked, from the grasp of the rogue and the ruthless.	4 Judicabit pauperes populi, et salvos faciet filios pauperum, et humiliabit calumniatorem.
5 For you are my hope, Lord, my trust, Yahweh, since boyhood.	5 Et permanebit cum sole, et ante lunam, in generatione et generationem.
6 On you I have relied since my birth, since my mother's womb you have been my portion, the constanttheme of my praise.	6 Descendet sicut pluvia in vellus, et sicut stillicidia stillantia super terram.
7 Many were bewildered at me, but you are my sure refuge.	7 Orietur in diebus ejus justitia, et abundantia pacis, donec auferatur luna.
8 My mouth is full of your praises, fil ed with your splendour all day long.	8 Et dominabitur a mari usque ad mare, et a flumine usque ad terminos orbis terrarum.
9 Do not reject me in my old age, nor desert me when my strength is failing,	9 Coram illo procident Æthiopes, et inimici ejus terram lingent.
10 for my enemies are discussing me, those with designs on my life are plotting together.	10 Reges Tharsis et insulæ munera offerent ; reges Arabum et Saba dona adducent :
11 'Hound him down, for God has deserted him! Seize him, there is no one to rescue him.'	11 et adorabunt eum omnes reges terræ ; omnes gentes servient ei.
12 God, do not stand aloof, my God, come quickly to help me.	12 Quia liberabit pauperem a potente, et pauperem cui non erat adjutor.
13 Shame and ruin on those who slander me, may those intent on harming me be covered with insultand infamy.	13 Parcet pauperi et inopi, et animas pauperum salvas faciet.
14 As for me, my hope wil never fade, I wil praise you more and more.	14 Ex usuris et iniquitate redimet animas eorum, et honorabile nomen eorum coram illo.
15 My lips shal proclaim your saving justice, your saving power all day long.	15 Et vivet, et dabitur ei de auro Arabiæ ; et adorabunt de ipso semper, tota die benedicent ei.
16 I wil come in the power of Yahweh to tel of your justice, yours alone.	16 Et erit firmamentum in terra in summis montium ; superextolletur super Libanum fructus ejus, et florebunt de civitate sicut f?num terræ.
17 God, you have taught me from boyhood, and I am still proclaiming your marvels.	17 Sit nomen ejus benedictum in sæcula ; ante solem permanet nomen ejus. Et benedicentur in ipso omnes tribus terræ ; omnes gentes magnificabunt eum.
18 Now that I am old and grey-haired, God, do not desert me, til I have proclaimed your strength togenerations still to come, your power	18 Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, qui facit mirabilia solus.
19 and justice to the skies. You have done great things, God, who is like you?	19 Et benedictum nomen majestatis ejus in æternum, et replebitur majestate ejus omnis terra. Fiat, fiat.
20 You have shown me much misery and hardship, but you will give me life again, You will raise me upagain from the depths of the earth,	20 Defecerunt laudes David, filii Jesse.
21 prolong my old age, and comfort me again.
22 For my part, I will thank you on the lyre for your constancy, my God. I wil play the harp in yourhonour, Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips sing for joy as I play to you, because you have redeemed me,
24 and al day long my tongue muses on your saving justice. Shame and disgrace on those intent toharm me!
