Psalms 68

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 Unto the end. For those who will be changed: of David.	1 Magistro chori. David. Psalmus. Canticum.
2 Save me, O God, for the waters have entered, even to my soul.	2 Exsurgit Deus, et dissipantur inimici eius; et fugiunt, qui oderunt eum, a facie eius.
3 I have become stuck in a deep quagmire, and there is no firm footing. I have arrived at the height of the sea, and a tempest has overwhelmed me.	3 Sicut dissipatur fumus, tu dissipas; sicut fluit cera a facie ignis, sic pereunt peccatores a facie Dei.
4 I have endured hardships, while crying out. My jaws have become hoarse; my eyes have failed. Meanwhile, I hope in my God.	4 Et iusti laetentur et exsultent in conspectu Dei et delectentur in laetitia.
5 Those who hate me without cause have been multiplied beyond the hairs of my head. My enemies, who persecuted me unjustly, have been strengthened. Then I was required to pay for what I did not take.	5 Cantate Deo, psalmum dicite nomini eius; iter facite ei, qui fertur super nubes: Dominus nomen illi. Iubilate in conspectu eius;
6 O God, you know my foolishness, and my offenses have not been hidden from you.	6 pater orphanorum et iudex viduarum, Deus in habitaculo sancto suo.
7 Let those who wait for you, O Lord, the Lord of hosts, not be shamed in me. Let those who seek you, O God of Israel, not be confounded over me.	7 Deus, qui inhabitare facit desolatos in domo, qui educit vinctos in prosperitatem; verumtamen rebelles habitabunt in arida terra. -
8 For because of you, I have endured reproach; confusion has covered my face.	8 Deus, cum egredereris in conspectu populi tui, cum pertransires in deserto,
9 I have become a stranger to my brothers and a sojourner to the sons of my mother.	9 terra mota est, etiam caeli distillaverunt a facie Dei Sinai, a facie Dei Israel.
10 For zeal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproached you have fallen upon me.	10 Pluviam voluntariam effundebas, Deus; hereditatem tuam infirmatam, tu refecisti eam.
11 And I covered my soul with fasting, and it has become a reproach to me.	11 Animalia tua habitabant in ea, parasti in bonitate tua pauperi, Deus.
12 And I put on a haircloth as my garment, and I became a parable to them.	12 Dominus dat verbum; virgines annuntiantes bona sunt agmen ingens:
13 Those who sat at the gate spoke against me, and those who drank wine made me their song.	13 “ Reges exercituum fugiunt, fugiunt, et species domus dividit spolia.
14 But as for me, truly, my prayer is to you, O Lord. This time has pleased you well, O God. In the multitude of your mercy, in the truth of your salvation, hear me.	14 Et vos dormitis inter medias caulas: alae columbae nitent argento, et pennae eius pallore auri.
15 Rescue me from the quagmire, so that I may not become trapped. Free me from those who hate me and from deep waters.	15 Dum dispergit Omnipotens reges super eam, nive dealbatur Selmon ”.
16 Do not allow the tempest of water to submerge me, nor the deep to absorb me. And do not allow the well to close in on me.	16 Mons Dei mons Basan, mons cacuminum mons Basan.
17 Hear me, O Lord, for your mercy is kind. Look upon me, according to the fullness of your compassion.	17 Ut quid invidetis, montes cacuminum, monti, in quo beneplacitum est Deo inhabitare? Etenim Dominus habitabit in finem.
18 And do not turn your face away from your servant, for I am in trouble: heed me quickly.	18 Currus Dei decem milia milium: Dominus venit de Sinai in sancta.
19 Attend to my soul, and free it. Rescue me, because of my enemies.	19 Ascendisti in altum, captivam duxisti captivitatem; accepisti in donum homines, ut etiam rebelles habitent apud Dominum Deum.
20 You know my reproach, and my confusion, and my reverence.	20 Benedictus Dominus die cotidie; portabit nos Deus salutarium nostrorum.
21 All those who trouble me are in your sight; my heart has anticipated reproach and misery. And I sought for one who might grieve together with me, but there was no one, and for one who might console me, and I found no one.	21 Deus noster, Deus ad salvandum; et Domini, Domini exitus mortis.
22 And they gave me gall for my food. And in my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.	22 Verumtamen Deus confringet capita inimicorum suorum, verticem capillatum perambulantium in delictis suis.
23 Let their table be a snare before them, and a retribution, and a scandal.	23 Dixit Dominus: “ Ex Basan reducam, reducam de profundo maris,
24 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they may not see, and may their back always be crooked.	24 ut intingatur pes tuus in sanguine, lingua canum tuorum ex inimicis portionem inveniat ”.
25 Pour out your indignation upon them, and may the fury of your anger take hold of them.	25 Viderunt ingressus tuos, Deus, ingressus Dei mei, regis mei in sancta.
26 May their dwelling place be deserted, and may there be no one who dwells in their tabernacles.	26 Praecedunt cantores, postremi veniunt psallentes. in medio iuvenculae tympanistriae.
27 For they persecuted whomever you struck. And they have added to the grief of my wounds.	27 “ In ecclesiis benedicite Deo, Domino, vos de fontibus Israel ”.
28 Assign an iniquity upon their iniquity, and may they not enter into your justice.	28 Ibi Beniamin adulescentulus ducens eos, principes Iudae cum turma sua, principes Zabulon, principes Nephthali.
29 Delete them from the Book of the Living, and let them not be written down with the just.	29 Manda, Deus, virtuti tuae; confirma hoc, Deus, quod operatus es in nobis.
30 I am poor and sorrowful, but your salvation, O God, has taken me up.	30 A templo tuo in Ierusalem tibi afferent reges munera.
31 I will praise the name of God with a canticle, and I will magnify him with praise.	31 Increpa feram arundinis, congregationem taurorum in vitulis populorum: prosternant se cum laminis argenti. Dissipa gentes, quae bella volunt.
32 And it will please God more than a new calf producing horns and hoofs.	32 Venient optimates ex Aegypto, Aethiopia praeveniet manus suas Deo.
33 Let the poor see and rejoice. Seek God, and your soul will live.	33 Regna terrae, cantate Deo, psallite Domino, psallite Deo,
34 For the Lord has heard the poor, and he has not despised his prisoners.	34 qui fertur super caelum caeli ad orientem; ecce dabit vocem suam, vocem virtutis.
35 Let the heavens and the earth praise him: the sea, and everything that crawls in it.	35 Tribuite virtutem Deo. Super Israel magnificentia eius, et virtus eius in nubibus.
36 For God will save Zion, and the cities of Judah will be built up. And they will dwell there, and they will acquire it by inheritance.	36 Mirabilis, Deus, de sanctuario tuo! Deus Israel ipse tribuet virtutem et fortitudinem plebi suae. Benedictus Deus!
37 And the offspring of his servants will possess it; and those who love his name will dwell in it.
