< Psalmorum 22 >
1 Psalmus David, in finem pro susceptione matutina. Deus Deus meus respice in me: quare me dereliquisti? longe a salute mea verba delictorum meorum.
For the end, concerning the morning aid, a Psalm of David. O God, my God, attend to me: why hast thou forsaken me? the account of my transgressions is far from my salvation.
2 Deus meus clamabo per diem, et non exaudies: et nocte, et non ad insipientiam mihi.
O my God, I will cry to thee by day, but thou wilt not hear: and by night, and [it shall] not [be accounted] for folly to me.
3 Tu autem in sancto habitas, Laus Israel.
But thou, the praise of Israel, dwellest in a sanctuary.
4 In te speraverunt patres nostri: speraverunt, et liberasti eos.
Our fathers hoped in thee; they hoped, and thou didst deliver them.
5 Ad te clamaverunt, et salvi facti sunt: in te speraverunt, et non sunt confusi.
They cried to thee, and were saved: they hoped in thee, and were not ashamed.
6 Ego autem sum vermis, et non homo: opprobrium hominum, et abiectio plebis.
But I am a worm, and not a man; a reproach of men, and scorn of the people.
7 Omnes videntes me, deriserunt me: locuti sunt labiis, et moverunt caput.
All that saw me mocked me: they spoke with [their] lips, they shook the head, [saying],
8 Speravit in Domino, eripiat eum: salvum faciat eum, quoniam vult eum.
He hoped in the Lord: let him deliver him, let him save him, because he takes pleasure in him.
9 Quoniam tu es, qui extraxisti me de ventre: spes mea ab uberibus matris meae.
For thou art he that drew me out of the womb; my hope from my mother's breasts.
10 In te proiectus sum ex utero: de ventre matris meae Deus meus es tu,
I was cast on thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.
11 ne discesseris a me: Quoniam tribulatio proxima est: quoniam non est qui adiuvet.
Stand not aloof from me; for affliction is near; for there is no helper.
12 Circumdederunt me vituli multi: tauri pingues obsederunt me.
Many bullocks have compassed me: fat bulls have beset me round.
13 Aperuerunt super me os suum, sicut leo rapiens et rugiens.
They have opened their mouth against me, as a ravening and roaring lion.
14 Sicut aqua effusus sum: et dispersa sunt omnia ossa mea. Factum est cor meum tamquam cera liquescens in medio ventris mei.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are loosened: my heart in the midst of my belly is become like melting wax.
15 Aruit tamquam testa virtus mea, et lingua mea adhaesit faucibus meis: et in pulverem mortis deduxisti me.
My strength is dried up, like a potsherd; and my tongue is glued to my throat; and thou hast brought me down to the dust of death.
16 Quoniam circumdederunt me canes multi: concilium malignantium obsedit me. Foderunt manus meas et pedes meos:
For many dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked doers has beset me round: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17 dinumeraverunt omnia ossa mea. Ipsi vero consideraverunt et inspexerunt me:
They counted all my bones; and they observed and looked upon me.
18 diviserunt sibi vestimenta mea, et super vestem meam miserunt sortem.
They parted my garments [among] themselves, and cast lots upon my raiment.
19 Tu autem Domine ne elongaveris auxilium tuum a me: ad defensionem meam conspice.
But thou, O Lord, remove not my help afar off: be ready for mine aid.
20 Erue a framea Deus animam meam: et de manu canis unicam meam:
Deliver my soul from the sword; my only-begotten one from the power of the dog.
21 Salva me ex ore leonis: et a cornibus unicornium humilitatem meam.
Save me from the lion's mouth; and [regard] my lowliness from the horns of the unicorns.
22 Narrabo nomen tuum fratribus meis: in medio ecclesiae laudabo te.
I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I sing praise to thee.
23 Qui timetis Dominum laudate eum: universum semen Iacob glorificate eum:
Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye seed of Jacob, glorify him: let all the seed of Israel fear him.
24 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.
For he has not despised nor been angry at the supplication of the poor; nor turned away his face from me; but when I cried to him, he heard me.
25 Apud te laus mea in ecclesia magna: vota mea reddam in conspectu timentium eum.
My praise is of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
26 Edent pauperes, et saturabuntur: et laudabunt Dominum qui requirunt eum: vivent corda eorum in saeculum saeculi.
The poor shall eat and be satisfied; and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their heart shall live for ever.
27 Reminiscentur et convertentur ad Dominum universi fines terrae: Et adorabunt in conspectu eius universae familiae Gentium.
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before him.
28 Quoniam Domini est regnum: et ipse dominabitur Gentium.
For the kingdom is the Lord's; and he is the governor of the nations.
29 Manducaverunt et adoraverunt omnes pingues terrae: in conspectu eius cadent omnes qui descendunt in terram.
All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and worshipped: all that go down to the earth shall fall down before him: my soul also lives to him.
30 Et anima mea illi vivet: et semen meum serviet ipsi.
And my seed shall serve him: the generation that is coming shall be reported to the Lord.
31 Annunciabitur Domino generatio ventura: et annunciabunt caeli iustitiam eius populo qui nascetur, quem fecit Dominus.
And they shall report his righteousness to the people that shall be born, whom the Lord has made.
