Psalmorum 69
1 In finem, pro iis, qui commutabuntur, David. Salvum me fac Deus: quoniam intraverunt aquæ usque ad animam meam.
Unto the end, for them that shall be changed; for David. SAVE me, O God: for the waters are come in even unto my soul.
2 Infixus sum in limo profundi: et non est substantia. Veni in altitudinem maris: et tempestas demersit me.
I stick fast in the mire of the deep: and there is no sure standing. I am come into the depth of the sea: and a tempest hath overwhelmed me.
3 Laboravi clamans, raucæ factæ sunt fauces meæ: defecerunt oculi mei, dum spero in Deum meum.
I have laboured with crying; my jaws are become hoarse: my eyes have failed, whilst I hope in my God.
4 Multiplicati sunt super capillos capitis mei, qui oderunt me gratis. Confortati sunt qui persecuti sunt me inimici mei iniuste: quæ non rapui, tunc exolvebam.
They are multiplied above the hairs of my head, who hate me without cause. My enemies are grown strong who have wrongfully persecuted me: then did I pay that which I took not away.
5 Deus tu scis insipientiam meam: et delicta mea a te non sunt abscondita.
O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my offences are not hidden from thee:
6 Non erubescant in me qui expectant te Domine, Domine virtutum. Non confundantur super me qui quærunt te, Deus Israel.
Let not them be ashamed for me, who look for thee, O Lord, the Lord of hosts. Let them not be confounded on my account, who seek thee, O God of Israel.
7 Quoniam propter te sustinui opprobrium: operuit confusio faciem meam.
Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
8 Extraneus factus sum fratribus meis, et peregrinus filiis matris meæ.
I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to the sons of my mother.
9 Quoniam zelus domus tuæ comedit me: et opprobria exprobrantium tibi, ceciderunt super me.
For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up: and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
10 Et operui in ieiunio animam meam: et factum est in opprobrium mihi.
And I covered my soul in fasting: and it was made a reproach to me.
11 Et posui vestimentum meum cilicium: et factus sum illis in parabolam.
And I made haircloth my garment: and I became a byword to them.
12 Adversum me loquebantur qui sedebant in porta: et in me psallebant qui bibebant vinum.
They that sat in the gate spoke against me: and they that drank wine made me their song.
13 Ego vero orationem meam ad te Domine: tempus beneplaciti Deus. In multitudine misericordiæ tuæ exaudi me, in veritate salutis tuæ:
But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O Lord; for the time of thy good pleasure, O God. In the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
14 Eripe me de luto, ut non infigar: libera me ab iis, qui oderunt me, et de profundis aquarum.
Draw me out of the mire, that I may not stick fast: deliver me from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
15 Non me demergat tempestas aquæ, neque absorbeat me profundum: neque urgeat super me puteus os suum.
Let not the tempest of water drown me, nor the deep swallow me up: and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16 Exaudi me Domine, quoniam benigna est misericordia tua: secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum respice in me.
Hear me, O Lord, for thy mercy is kind; look upon me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
17 Et ne avertas faciem tuam a puero tuo: quoniam tribulor, velociter exaudi me.
And turn not away thy face from thy servant: for I am in trouble, hear me speedily.
18 Intende animæ meæ, et libera eam: propter inimicos meos eripe me.
Attend to my soul, and deliver it: save me because of my enemies.
19 Tu scis improperium meum, et confusionem meam, et reverentiam meam.
Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, and my shame.
20 In conspectu tuo sunt omnes qui tribulant me, improperium expectavit cor meum et miseriam. Et sustinui qui simul contristaretur, et non fuit: et qui consolaretur, et non inveni.
In thy sight are all they that afflict me; my heart hath expected reproach and misery. And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.
21 Et dederunt in escam meam fel: et in siti mea potaverunt me aceto.
And they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Fiat mensa eorum coram ipsis in laqueum, et in retributiones, et in scandalum.
Let their table become as a snare before them, and a recompense, and a stumblingblock.
23 Obscurentur oculi eorum ne videant: et dorsum eorum semper incurva.
Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and their back bend thou down always.
24 Effunde super eos iram tuam: et furor iræ tuæ comprehendat eos.
Pour out thy indignation upon them: and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 Fiat habitatio eorum deserta: et in tabernaculis eorum non sit qui inhabitet.
Let their habitation be made desolate: and let there be none to dwell in their tabernacles.
26 Quoniam quem tu percussisti, persecuti sunt: et super dolorem vulnerum meorum addiderunt.
Because they have persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; and they have added to the grief of my wounds.
27 Appone iniquitatem super iniquitatem eorum: et non intrent in iustitiam tuam.
Add thou iniquity upon their iniquity: and let them not come into thy justice.
28 Deleantur de Libro viventium: et cum iustis non scribantur.
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; and with the just let them not be written.
29 Ego sum pauper et dolens: salus tua Deus suscepit me.
But I am poor and sorrowful: thy salvation, O God, hath set me up.
30 Laudabo nomen Dei cum cantico: et magnificabo eum in laude:
I will praise the name of God with a canticle: and I will magnify him with praise.
31 Et placebit Deo super vitulum novellum: cornua producentem et ungulas.
And it shall please God better than a young calf, that bringeth forth horns and hoofs.
32 Videant pauperes et lætentur: quærite Deum, et vivet anima vestra:
Let the poor see and rejoice: seek ye God, and your soul shall live.
33 Quoniam exaudivit pauperes Dominus: et vinctos suos non despexit.
For the Lord hath heard the poor: and hath not despised his prisoners.
34 Laudent illum cæli et terra, mare, et omnia reptilia in eis.
Let the heavens and the earth praise him; the sea, and every thing that creepeth therein.
35 Quoniam Deus salvam faciet Sion: et ædificabuntur civitates Iuda. Et inhabitabunt ibi, et hereditate acquirent eam.
For God will save Sion, and the cities of Juda shall be built up. And they shall dwell there, and acquire it by inheritance.
36 Et semen servorum eius possidebit eam, et qui diligunt nomen eius, habitabunt in ea.
And the seed of his servants shall possess it; and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
