Psalmorum 69
1 Psalmus David, in finem, pro iis, qui commutabuntur. Salvum me fac Deus: quoniam intraverunt aquae usque ad animam meam.
To him that excelleth upon Shoshannim. A Psalme of David. Save mee, O God: for the waters are entred euen to my soule.
2 Infixus sum in limo profundi: et non est substantia. Veni in altitudinem maris: et tempestas demersit me.
I sticke fast in the deepe myre, where no staie is: I am come into deepe waters, and the streames runne ouer me.
3 Laboravi clamans, raucae factae sunt fauces meae: defecerunt oculi mei, dum spero in Deum meum.
I am wearie of crying: my throte is drie: mine eyes faile, whiles I waite for my God.
4 Multiplicati sunt super capillos capitis mei, qui oderunt me gratis. Confortati sunt qui persecuti sunt me inimici mei iniuste: quae non rapui, tunc exolvebam.
They that hate mee without a cause, are moe then the heares of mine heade: they that would destroy mee, and are mine enemies falsly, are mightie, so that I restored that which I tooke not.
5 Deus tu scis insipientiam meam: et delicta mea a te non sunt abscondita.
O God, thou knowest my foolishnesse, and my fautes are not hid from thee.
6 Non erubescant in me qui expectant te Domine, Domine virtutum. Non confundantur super me qui quaerunt te, Deus Israel.
Let not them that trust in thee, O Lord God of hostes, be ashamed for me: let not those that seeke thee, be confounded through mee, O God of Israel.
7 Quoniam propter te sustinui opprobrium: operuit confusio faciem meam.
For thy sake haue I suffred reproofe: shame hath couered my face.
8 Extraneus factus sum fratribus meis, et peregrinus filiis matris meae.
I am become a stranger vnto my brethren, euen an aliant vnto my mothers sonnes.
9 Quoniam zelus domus tuae comedit me: et opprobria exprobrantium tibi, ceciderunt super me.
For the zeale of thine house hath eaten mee, and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee, are fallen vpon me.
10 Et operui in ieiunio animam meam: et factum est in opprobrium mihi.
I wept and my soule fasted, but that was to my reproofe.
11 Et posui vestimentum meum cilicium: et factus sum illis in parabolam.
I put on a sacke also: and I became a prouerbe vnto them.
12 Adversum me loquebantur qui sedebant in porta: et in me psallebant qui bibebant vinum.
They that sate in the gate, spake of mee, and the drunkards sang of me.
13 Ego vero orationem meam ad te Domine: tempus beneplaciti Deus. In multitudine misericordiae tuae exaudi me, in veritate salutis tuae:
But Lord, I make my praier vnto thee in an acceptable time, euen in the multitude of thy mercie: O God, heare me in the trueth of thy saluation.
14 Eripe me de luto, ut non infigar: libera me ab iis, qui oderunt me, et de profundis aquarum.
Deliuer mee out of the myre, that I sinke not: let me be deliuered from them that hate me, and out of the deepe waters.
15 Non me demergat tempestas aquae, neque absorbeat me profundum: neque urgeat super me puteus os suum.
Let not the water flood drowne mee, neither let the deepe swallowe me vp: and let not the pit shut her mouth vpon me.
16 Exaudi me Domine, quoniam benigna est misericordia tua: secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum respice in me.
Heare me, O Lord, for thy louing kindnes is good: turne vnto me according to ye multitude of thy tender mercies.
17 Et ne avertas faciem tuam a puero tuo: quoniam tribulor, velociter exaudi me.
And hide not thy face from thy seruant, for I am in trouble: make haste and heare me.
18 Intende animae meae, et libera eam: propter inimicos meos eripe me.
Draw neere vnto my soule and redeeme it: deliuer me because of mine enemies.
19 Tu scis improperium meum, et confusionem meam, et reverentiam meam.
Thou hast knowen my reproofe and my shame, and my dishonour: all mine aduersaries are before thee.
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.
Rebuke hath broken mine heart, and I am full of heauinesse, and I looked for some to haue pitie on me, but there was none: and for comforters, but I found none.
21 Et dederunt in escam meam fel: et in siti mea potaverunt me aceto.
For they gaue me gall in my meate, and in my thirst they gaue me vineger to drinke.
22 Fiat mensa eorum coram ipsis in laqueum, et in retributiones, et in scandalum.
Let their table be a snare before them, and their prosperitie their ruine.
23 Obscurentur oculi eorum ne videant: et dorsum eorum semper incurva.
Let their eyes be blinded that they see not: and make their loynes alway to tremble.
24 Effunde super eos iram tuam: et furor irae tuae comprehendat eos.
Powre out thine anger vpon them, and let thy wrathfull displeasure take them.
25 Fiat habitatio eorum deserta: et in tabernaculis eorum non sit qui inhabitet.
Let their habitation be voide, and let none dwell in their tents.
26 Quoniam quem tu percussisti, persecuti sunt: et super dolorem vulnerum meorum addiderunt.
For they persecute him, whome thou hast smitten: and they adde vnto the sorrowe of them, whome thou hast wounded.
27 Appone iniquitatem super iniquitatem eorum: et non intrent in iustitiam tuam.
Laie iniquitie vpon their iniquitie, and let them not come into thy righteousnesse.
28 Deleantur de Libro viventium: et cum iustis non scribantur.
Let them be put out of the booke of life, neither let them be written with the righteous.
29 Ego sum pauper et dolens: salus tua Deus suscepit me.
When I am poore and in heauinesse, thine helpe, O God, shall exalt me.
30 Laudabo nomen Dei cum cantico: et magnificabo eum in laude:
I will praise the Name of God with a song, and magnifie him with thankesgiuing.
31 Et placebit Deo super vitulum novellum: cornua producentem et ungulas.
This also shall please the Lord better then a yong bullocke, that hath hornes and hoofes.
32 Videant pauperes et laetentur: quaerite Deum, et vivet anima vestra:
The humble shall see this, and they that seeke God, shalbe glad, and your heart shall liue.
33 Quoniam exaudivit pauperes Dominus: et vinctos suos non despexit.
For the Lord heareth the poore, and despiseth not his prisoners.
34 Laudent illum caeli et terra, mare, et omnia reptilia in eis.
Let heauen and earth praise him: the seas and all that moueth in them.
35 Quoniam Deus salvam faciet Sion: et aedificabuntur civitates Iuda. Et inhabitabunt ibi, et hereditate acquirent eam.
For God will saue Zion, and builde the cities of Iudah, that men may dwell there and haue it in possession.
36 Et semen servorum eius possidebit eam, et qui diligunt nomen eius, habitabunt in ea.
The seede also of his seruants shall inherit it: and they that loue his name, shall dwel therein.
