Liber Psalmorum, 71
1. In te, Domine, speravi, non confundar in aeternum.
1. In thee, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame!
2. In iustitia tua libera me et eripe me; inclina ad me aurem tuam et salva me.
2. In thy righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline thy ear to me, and save me!
3. Esto mihi in rupem praesidii et in domum munitam, ut salvum me facias, quoniam fortitudo mea et refugium meum es tu.
3. Be thou to me a rock of refuge, a strong fortress, to save me, for thou art my rock and my fortress.
4. Deus meus, eripe me de manu peccatoris et de manu contra legem agentis et iniqui.
4. Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
5. Quoniam tu es exspectatio mea, Domine; Domine, spes mea a iuventute mea.
5. For thou, O Lord, art my hope, my trust, O LORD, from my youth.
6. Super te innixus sum ex utero, de ventre matris meae tu es susceptor meus; in te laus mea semper.
6. Upon thee I have leaned from my birth; thou art he who took me from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of thee.
7. Tamquam prodigium factus sum multis, et tu adiutor fortis. -
7. I have been as a portent to many; but thou art my strong refuge.
8. Repleatur os meum laude tua, tota die magnitudine tua.
8. My mouth is filled with thy praise, and with thy glory all the day.
9. Ne proicias me in tempore senectutis; cum defecerit virtus mea, ne derelinquas me.
9. Do not cast me off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spent.
10. Quia dixerunt inimici mei mihi, et, qui observabant animam meam, consilium fecerunt in unum
10. For my enemies speak concerning me, those who watch for my life consult together,
11. dicentes: “Deus dereliquit eum! Persequimini et comprehendite eum, quia non est qui eripiat”.
11. and say, "God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver him."
12. Deus, ne elongeris a me; Deus meus, in auxilium meum festina.
12. O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!
13. Confundantur et deficiant adversantes animae meae; operiantur confusione et pudore, qui quaerunt mala mihi.
13. May my accusers be put to shame and consumed; with scorn and disgrace may they be covered who seek my hurt.
14. Ego autem semper sperabo et adiciam super omnem laudem tuam.
14. But I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.
15. Os meum annuntiabit iustitiam tuam, tota die salutare tuum: quae dinumerare nescivi.
15. My mouth will tell of thy righteous acts, of thy deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge.
16. Veniam ad potentias Domini; Domine, memorabor iustitiae tuae solius.
16. With the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD I will come, I will praise thy righteousness, thine alone.
17. Deus, docuisti me a iuventute mea; et usque nunc annuntiabo mirabilia tua.
17. O God, from my youth thou hast taught me, and I still proclaim thy wondrous deeds.
18. Et usque in senectam et senium, Deus, ne derelinquas me, donec annuntiem brachium tuum generationi omni, quae ventura est. Potentia tua
18. So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, till I proclaim thy might to all the generations to come. Thy power
19. et iustitia tua, Deus, usque in altissima, qui fecisti magnalia: Deus, quis similis tibi?
19. and thy righteousness, O God, reach the high heavens. Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like thee?
20. Quantas ostendisti mihi tribulationes multas et malas; iterum vivificasti me et de abyssis terrae iterum reduxisti me.
20. Thou who hast made me see many sore troubles wilt revive me again; from the depths of the earth thou wilt bring me up again.
21. Multiplicabis magnitudinem meam et conversus consolaberis me.
21. Thou wilt increase my honor, and comfort me again.
22. Nam et ego confitebor tibi in psalterio veritatem tuam, Deus meus; psallam tibi in cithara, Sanctus Israel.
22. I will also praise thee with the harp for thy faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to thee with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
23. Exsultabunt labia mea, cum cantavero tibi, et anima mea, quam redemisti;
23. My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to thee; my soul also, which thou hast rescued.
24. sed et lingua mea tota die meditabitur iustitiam tuam, cum confusi et reveriti fuerint, qui quaerunt mala mihi.
24. And my tongue will talk of thy righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disgraced who sought to do me hurt.
