Psalms 22
1 “To the chief musician upon Ayeleth-hashachar, a psalm of David.” My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from saving me, and from the words of my loud complaint?
Psalmus David, in finem pro susceptione matutina. Deus Deus meus respice in me: quare me dereliquisti? longe a salute mea verba delictorum meorum.
2 O my God! I call in the day-time, but thou answerest not; and in the night I find no rest.
Deus meus clamabo per diem, et non exaudies: et nocte, et non ad insipientiam mihi.
3 But thou art holy, O thou that dwellest amidst the praises of Israel.
Tu autem in sancto habitas, Laus Israel.
4 In thee did our fathers trust: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
In te speraverunt patres nostri: speraverunt, et liberasti eos.
5 Unto thee they cried, and were delivered: in thee they trusted, and were not put to shame.
Ad te clamaverunt, et salvi facti sunt: in te speraverunt, et non sunt confusi.
6 But I am a worm, and not a man, a reproach of men, and despised of people.
Ego autem sum vermis, et non homo: opprobrium hominum, et abiectio plebis.
7 All those who see me laugh me to scorn: they draw open their lips, they shake their head, [saying, ]
Omnes videntes me, deriserunt me: locuti sunt labiis, et moverunt caput.
8 “Let him throw himself on the Lord, that he may deliver him: he will save him, for he delighteth in him.”
Speravit in Domino, eripiat eum: salvum faciat eum, quoniam vult eum.
9 Yea, thou art he that took me from the womb: thou hast been my trust when I hung on my mother's breasts.
Quoniam tu es, qui extraxisti me de ventre: spes mea ab uberibus matris meae.
10 Upon thee was I cast from my birth: from my mother's womb art thou my God.
In te proiectus sum ex utero: de ventre matris meae Deus meus es tu,
11 Oh be not far from me [now]; for distress is near; for there is none to help.
ne discesseris a me: Quoniam tribulatio proxima est: quoniam non est qui adiuvet.
12 Many steers have encompassed me: the strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
Circumdederunt me vituli multi: tauri pingues obsederunt me.
13 They have opened wide against me their mouth, [as] a ravenous and roaring lion.
Aperuerunt super me os suum, sicut leo rapiens et rugiens.
14 Like water am I poured out, and all my bones are disjointed: my heart is become like wax, it is melted in the midst of my entrails.
Sicut aqua effusus sum: et dispersa sunt omnia ossa mea. Factum est cor meum tamquam cera liquescens in medio ventris mei.
15 Like a potsherd is my strength dried up; and my tongue cleaveth to my palate; and into the dust of death hast thou laid me down.
Aruit tamquam testa virtus mea, et lingua mea adhaesit faucibus meis: et in pulverem mortis deduxisti me.
16 For dogs have encompassed me; the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: like lions [they threaten] my hands and my feet.
Quoniam circumdederunt me canes multi: concilium malignantium obsedit me. Foderunt manus meas et pedes meos:
17 I may number all my bones: [while] they stare and look upon me.
dinumeraverunt omnia ossa mea. Ipsi vero consideraverunt et inspexerunt me:
18 They divide my clothes among themselves, and for my garment do they cast lots.
diviserunt sibi vestimenta mea, et super vestem meam miserunt sortem.
19 But thou, O Lord, be not far from me: O [thou who art] my strength, hasten to my aid.
Tu autem Domine ne elongaveris auxilium tuum a me: ad defensionem meam conspice.
20 Deliver from the sword my life, from the power of the dog my solitary soul.
Erue a framea Deus animam meam: et de manu canis unicam meam:
21 Save me from the lion's mouth; as thou hast answered me from the horns of the reem.
Salva me ex ore leonis: et a cornibus unicornium humilitatem meam.
22 I will relate thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
Narrabo nomen tuum fratribus meis: in medio ecclesiae laudabo te.
23 Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and be in dread of him, all ye the seed of Israel.
Qui timetis Dominum laudate eum: universum semen Iacob glorificate eum:
24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the poor; neither hath he hidden his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
Timeat eum omne semen Israel: quoniam non sprevit, neque despexit deprecationem pauperis: Nec avertit faciem suam a me: et cum clamarem ad eum exaudivit me.
25 Of thee shall be my praise in a great assembly: my vows will I pay in the presence of those who fear him.
Apud te laus mea in ecclesia magna: vota mea reddam in conspectu timentium eum.
26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied; they who seek him shall praise the Lord: may your heart live for ever.
Edent pauperes, et saturabuntur: et laudabunt Dominum qui requirunt eum: vivent corda eorum in saeculum saeculi.
27 All the ends of the world shall remember and return unto the Lord: and all the families of the nations shall bow themselves down before thee.
Reminiscentur et convertentur ad Dominum universi fines terrae: Et adorabunt in conspectu eius universae familiae Gentium.
28 For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he governeth the nations.
Quoniam Domini est regnum: et ipse dominabitur Gentium.
29 All they that eat the fat of the earth shall bow themselves down; before him shall bend the knee all that are going down into the dust; for none can keep alive his own soul.
Manducaverunt et adoraverunt omnes pingues terrae: in conspectu eius cadent omnes qui descendunt in terram.
30 Distant ages shall serve him; there shall be related of the Lord unto future generations.
Et anima mea illi vivet: et semen meum serviet ipsi.
31 They will come, and will tell his righteousness unto a people yet unborn, that he hath done this.
Annunciabitur Domino generatio ventura: et annunciabunt caeli iustitiam eius populo qui nascetur, quem fecit Dominus.
