Psalmi 71

VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Psalmus, in Salomonem.	1 A psalm for David. Of the sons of Jonadab, and the former captives. In thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion:
2 Deus, judicium tuum regi da, et justitiam tuam filio regis ; judicare populum tuum in justitia, et pauperes tuos in judicio.	2 deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me. Incline thy ear unto me, and save me.
3 Suscipiant montes pacem populo, et colles justitiam.	3 Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: that thou mayst make me safe. For thou art my firmament and my refuge.
4 Judicabit pauperes populi, et salvos faciet filios pauperum, et humiliabit calumniatorem.	4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the sinner, and out of the hand of the transgressor of the law and of the unjust.
5 Et permanebit cum sole, et ante lunam, in generatione et generationem.	5 For thou art my patience, O Lord: my hope, O Lord, from my youth;
6 Descendet sicut pluvia in vellus, et sicut stillicidia stillantia super terram.	6 By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: from my mother's womb thou art my protector. Of thee shall I continually sing:
7 Orietur in diebus ejus justitia, et abundantia pacis, donec auferatur luna.	7 I run become unto many as a wonder, but thou art a strong helper.
8 Et dominabitur a mari usque ad mare, et a flumine usque ad terminos orbis terrarum.	8 Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; thy greatness all the day long.
9 Coram illo procident Æthiopes, et inimici ejus terram lingent.	9 Cast me not off in the time of old age: when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me.
10 Reges Tharsis et insulæ munera offerent ; reges Arabum et Saba dona adducent :	10 For my enemies have spoken against me; and they that watched my soul have consulted together,
11 et adorabunt eum omnes reges terræ ; omnes gentes servient ei.	11 Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.
12 Quia liberabit pauperem a potente, et pauperem cui non erat adjutor.	12 O God, be not thou far from me: O my God, make haste to my help.
13 Parcet pauperi et inopi, et animas pauperum salvas faciet.	13 Let them be confounded and come to nothing that detract my soul; let them be covered with confusion and shame that seek my hurt.
14 Ex usuris et iniquitate redimet animas eorum, et honorabile nomen eorum coram illo.	14 But I will always hope; and will add to all thy praise.
15 Et vivet, et dabitur ei de auro Arabiæ ; et adorabunt de ipso semper, tota die benedicent ei.	15 My mouth shall shew forth thy justice; thy salvation all the day long. Because I have not knows learning,
16 Et erit firmamentum in terra in summis montium ; superextolletur super Libanum fructus ejus, et florebunt de civitate sicut f?num terræ.	16 I will enter into the powers of the Lord: O Lord, I will be mindful of thy justice alone.
17 Sit nomen ejus benedictum in sæcula ; ante solem permanet nomen ejus. Et benedicentur in ipso omnes tribus terræ ; omnes gentes magnificabunt eum.	17 Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: and till now I will declare thy wonderful works.
18 Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, qui facit mirabilia solus.	18 And unto old age and grey hairs: O God, forsake me not, Until I shew forth thy arm to all the generation that is to come: Thy power,
19 Et benedictum nomen majestatis ejus in æternum, et replebitur majestate ejus omnis terra. Fiat, fiat.	19 and thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: O God, who is like to thee?
20 Defecerunt laudes David, filii Jesse.	20 How great troubles hast thou shewn me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth :
	21 Thou hast multiplied thy magnificence; and turning to me thou hast comforted me.
	22 For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: O God, I will sing to thee with the harp, thou holy one of Israel.
	23 My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I shall sing to thee; and my soul which thou hast redeemed.
	24 Yea and my tongue shall meditate on thy justice all the day; when they shall be confounded and put to shame that seek evils to me.
