11 dicentes: “ Deus dereliquit eum! Persequimini et comprehendite eum, quia non est qui eripiat ”.	11 'Hound him down, for God has deserted him! Seize him, there is no one to rescue him.'
12 Deus, ne elongeris a me; Deus meus, in auxilium meum festina.	12 God, do not stand aloof, my God, come quickly to help me.

18 Et usque in senectam et senium, Deus, ne derelinquas me, donec annuntiem brachium tuum generationi omni, quae ventura est. Potentia tua	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
19 et iustitia tua, Deus, usque in altissima, qui fecisti magnalia: Deus, quis similis tibi?	19 and justice to the skies. You have done great things, God, who is like you?
20 Quantas ostendisti mihi tribulationes multas et malas; iterum vivificasti me et de abyssis terrae iterum reduxisti me.	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,
21 Multiplicabis magnitudinem meam et conversus consolaberis me.	21 prolong my old age, and comfort me again.

23 Exsultabunt labia mea, cum cantavero tibi, et anima mea, quam redemisti;	23 My lips sing for joy as I play to you, because you have redeemed me,
