Psalmi 71-73
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
71 Psalmus, in Salomonem.
2 Deus, judicium tuum regi da, et justitiam tuam filio regis; judicare populum tuum in justitia, et pauperes tuos in judicio.
3 Suscipiant montes pacem populo, et colles justitiam.
4 Judicabit pauperes populi, et salvos faciet filios pauperum, et humiliabit calumniatorem.
5 Et permanebit cum sole, et ante lunam, in generatione et generationem.
6 Descendet sicut pluvia in vellus, et sicut stillicidia stillantia super terram.
7 Orietur in diebus ejus justitia, et abundantia pacis, donec auferatur luna.
8 Et dominabitur a mari usque ad mare, et a flumine usque ad terminos orbis terrarum.
9 Coram illo procident AEthiopes, et inimici ejus terram lingent.
10 Reges Tharsis et insulae munera offerent; reges Arabum et Saba dona adducent:
11 et adorabunt eum omnes reges terrae; omnes gentes servient ei.
12 Quia liberabit pauperem a potente, et pauperem cui non erat adjutor.
13 Parcet pauperi et inopi, et animas pauperum salvas faciet.
14 Ex usuris et iniquitate redimet animas eorum, et honorabile nomen eorum coram illo.
15 Et vivet, et dabitur ei de auro Arabiae; et adorabunt de ipso semper, tota die benedicent ei.
16 Et erit firmamentum in terra in summis montium; superextolletur super Libanum fructus ejus, et florebunt de civitate sicut foenum terrae.
17 Sit nomen ejus benedictum in saecula; ante solem permanet nomen ejus. Et benedicentur in ipso omnes tribus terrae; omnes gentes magnificabunt eum.
18 Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel, qui facit mirabilia solus.
19 Et benedictum nomen majestatis ejus in aeternum, et replebitur majestate ejus omnis terra. Fiat, fiat.
20 Defecerunt laudes David, filii Jesse.
72 Psalmus Asaph. Quam bonus Israel Deus, his qui recto sunt corde!
2 Mei autem pene moti sunt pedes, pene effusi sunt gressus mei:
3 quia zelavi super iniquos, pacem peccatorum videns.
4 Quia non est respectus morti eorum, et firmamentum in plaga eorum.
5 In labore hominum non sunt, et cum hominibus non flagellabuntur.
6 Ideo tenuit eos superbia; operti sunt iniquitate et impietate sua.
7 Prodiit quasi ex adipe iniquitas eorum; transierunt in affectum cordis.
8 Cogitaverunt et locuti sunt nequitiam; iniquitatem in excelso locuti sunt.
9 Posuerunt in caelum os suum, et lingua eorum transivit in terra.
10 Ideo convertetur populus meus hic, et dies pleni invenientur in eis.
11 Et dixerunt: Quomodo scit Deus, et si est scientia in excelso?
12 Ecce ipsi peccatores, et abundantes in saeculo obtinuerunt divitias.
13 Et dixi: Ergo sine causa justificavi cor meum, et lavi inter innocentes manus meas,
14 et fui flagellatus tota die, et castigatio mea in matutinis.
15 Si dicebam: Narrabo sic; ecce nationem filiorum tuorum reprobavi.
16 Existimabam ut cognoscerem hoc; labor est ante me:
17 donec intrem in sanctuarium Dei, et intelligam in novissimis eorum.
18 Verumtamen propter dolos posuisti eis; dejecisti eos dum allevarentur.
19 Quomodo facti sunt in desolationem? subito defecerunt: perierunt propter iniquitatem suam.
20 Velut somnium surgentium, Domine, in civitate tua imaginem ipsorum ad nihilum rediges.
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 caelo? et a te quid volui super terram?
26 Defecit caro mea et cor meum; Deus cordis mei, et pars mea, Deus in aeternum.
27 Quia ecce qui elongant se a te peribunt; perdidisti omnes qui fornicantur abs te.
28 Mihi autem adhaerere Deo bonum est; ponere in Domino Deo spem meam: ut annuntiem omnes praedicationes tuas in portis filiae Sion.
73 Intellectus Asaph. Ut quid, Deus, repulisti in finem, iratus est furor tuus super oves pascuae tuae?
2 Memor esto congregationis tuae, quam possedisti ab initio. Redemisti virgam haereditatis tuae, mons Sion, in quo habitasti in eo.
3 Leva manus tuas in superbias eorum in finem: quanta malignatus est inimicus in sancto!
4 Et gloriati sunt qui oderunt te in medio solemnitatis tuae; posuerunt signa sua, signa:
5 et non cognoverunt sicut in exitu super summum. Quasi in silva lignorum securibus
6 exciderunt januas ejus in idipsum; in securi et ascia dejecerunt eam.
7 Incenderunt igni sanctuarium tuum; in terra polluerunt tabernaculum nominis tui.
8 Dixerunt in corde suo cognatio eorum simul: Quiescere faciamus omnes dies festos Dei a terra.
9 Signa nostra non vidimus; jam non est propheta; et nos non cognoscet amplius.
10 Usquequo, Deus, improperabit inimicus? irritat adversarius nomen tuum in finem?
11 Ut quid avertis manum tuam, et dexteram tuam de medio sinu tuo in finem?
12 Deus autem rex noster ante saecula: operatus est salutem in medio terrae.
13 Tu confirmasti in virtute tua mare; contribulasti capita draconum in aquis.
14 Tu confregisti capita draconis; dedisti eum escam populis AEthiopum.
15 Tu dirupisti fontes et torrentes; tu siccasti fluvios Ethan.
16 Tuus est dies, et tua est nox; tu fabricatus es auroram et solem.
17 Tu fecisti omnes terminos terrae; aestatem et ver tu plasmasti ea.
18 Memor esto hujus: inimicus improperavit Domino, et populus insipiens incitavit nomen tuum.
19 Ne tradas bestiis animas confitentes tibi, et animas pauperum tuorum ne obliviscaris in finem.
20 Respice in testamentum tuum, quia repleti sunt qui obscurati sunt terrae domibus iniquitatum.
21 Ne avertatur humilis factus confusus; pauper et inops laudabunt nomen tuum.
22 Exsurge, Deus, judica causam tuam; memor esto improperiorum tuorum, eorum quae ab insipiente sunt tota die.
23 Ne obliviscaris voces inimicorum tuorum: superbia eorum qui te oderunt ascendit semper.
Psalm 71-73
King James Version
71 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth.
6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.
7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
8 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
13 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
15 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
16 I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!
20 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
72 Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
16 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18 Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
73 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works.
