Psalmi 72

VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Psalmus Asaph. Quam bonus Israël Deus, his qui recto sunt corde !	1 [Of Solomon] God, endow the king with your own fair judgement, the son of the king with your ownsaving justice,
2 Mei autem pene moti sunt pedes, pene effusi sunt gressus mei :	2 that he may rule your people with justice, and your poor with fair judgement.
3 quia zelavi super iniquos, pacem peccatorum videns.	3 Mountains and hil s, bring peace to the people! With justice
4 Quia non est respectus morti eorum, et firmamentum in plaga eorum.	4 he wil judge the poor of the people, he wil save the children of the needy and crush their oppressors.
5 In labore hominum non sunt, et cum hominibus non flagellabuntur.	5 In the sight of the sun and the moon he wil endure, age after age.
6 Ideo tenuit eos superbia ; operti sunt iniquitate et impietate sua.	6 He will come down like rain on mown grass, like showers moistening the land.
7 Prodiit quasi ex adipe iniquitas eorum ; transierunt in affectum cordis.	7 In his days uprightness shal flourish, and peace in plenty till the moon is no more.
8 Cogitaverunt et locuti sunt nequitiam ; iniquitatem in excelso locuti sunt.	8 His empire shal stretch from sea to sea, from the river to the limits of the earth.
9 Posuerunt in cælum os suum, et lingua eorum transivit in terra.	9 The Beast wil cower before him, his enemies lick the dust;
10 Ideo convertetur populus meus hic, et dies pleni invenientur in eis.	10 the kings of Tarshish and the islands wil pay him tribute. The kings of Sheba and Saba wil offer gifts;
11 Et dixerunt : Quomodo scit Deus, et si est scientia in excelso ?	11 all kings will do him homage, al nations become his servants.
12 Ecce ipsi peccatores, et abundantes in sæculo obtinuerunt divitias.	12 For he rescues the needy who cal s to him, and the poor who has no one to help.
13 Et dixi : Ergo sine causa justificavi cor meum, et lavi inter innocentes manus meas,	13 He has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the needy from death.
14 et fui flagellatus tota die, et castigatio mea in matutinis.	14 From oppression and violence he redeems their lives, their blood is precious in his sight.
15 Si dicebam : Narrabo sic ; ecce nationem filiorum tuorum reprobavi.	15 (Long may he live; may the gold of Sheba be given him!) Prayer wil be offered for him constantly,and blessings invoked on him al day.
16 Existimabam ut cognoscerem hoc ; labor est ante me :	16 May wheat abound in the land, waving on the heights of the hills, like Lebanon with its fruits andflowers at their best, like the grasses of the earth.
17 donec intrem in sanctuarium Dei, et intelligam in novissimis eorum.	17 May his name be blessed for ever, and endure in the sight of the sun. In him shal be blessed everyrace in the world, and all nations call him blessed.
18 Verumtamen propter dolos posuisti eis ; dejecisti eos dum allevarentur.	18 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who alone works wonders;
19 Quomodo facti sunt in desolationem ? subito defecerunt : perierunt propter iniquitatem suam.	19 blessed for ever his glorious name. May the whole world be fil ed with his glory! Amen! Amen!
20 Velut somnium surgentium, Domine, in civitate tua imaginem ipsorum ad nihilum rediges.	20 End of the prayers of David, son of Jesse.
21 Quia inflammatum est cor meum, et renes mei commutati sunt ;
22 et ego ad nihilum redactus sum, et nescivi :
23 ut jumentum factus sum apud te, et ego semper tecum.
24 Tenuisti manum dexteram meam, et in voluntate tua deduxisti me, et cum gloria suscepisti me.
25 Quid enim mihi est in cælo ? et a te quid volui super terram ?
26 Defecit caro mea et cor meum ; Deus cordis mei, et pars mea, Deus in æternum.
27 Quia ecce qui elongant se a te peribunt ; perdidisti omnes qui fornicantur abs te.
28 Mihi autem adhærere Deo bonum est ; ponere in Domino Deo spem meam : ut annuntiem omnes prædicationes tuas in portis filiæ Sion.
