Psalmorum 72
1 Psalmus, In Salomonem.
A psalm on Solomon.
2 Deus iudicium tuum regi da: et iustitiam tuam filio regis: Iudicare populum tuum in iustitia, et pauperes tuos in iudicio.
Give to the king thy judgment, O God: and to the king’s son thy justice: To judge thy people with justice, and thy poor with judgment.
3 Suscipiant montes pacem populo: et colles iustitiam.
Let the mountains receive peace for the people: and the hills justice.
4 Iudicabit pauperes populi, et salvos faciet filios pauperum: et humiliabit calumniatorem.
He shall judge the poor of the people, and he shall save the children of the poor: and he shall humble the oppressor.
5 Et permanebit cum Sole, et ante Lunam, in generatione et generationem.
And he shall continue with the sun, and before the moon, throughout all generations.
6 Descendet sicut pluvia in vellus: et sicut stillicidia stillantia super terram.
He shall come down like rain upon the fleece; and as showers falling gently upon the earth.
7 Orietur in diebus eius iustitia, et abundantia pacis: donec auferatur luna.
In his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of peace, till the moon be taken sway.
8 Et dominabitur a mari usque ad mare: et a flumine usque ad terminos orbis terrarum.
And he shall rule from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9 Coram illo procident Aethiopes: et inimici eius terram lingent.
Before him the Ethiopians shall fall down: and his enemies shall lick the ground.
10 Reges Tharsis, et insulae munera offerent: reges Arabum, et Saba dona adducent:
The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts:
11 Et adorabunt eum omnes reges terrae: omnes gentes servient ei:
And all kings of the earth shall adore him: all nations shall serve him.
12 Quia liberabit pauperem a potente: et pauperem, cui non erat adiutor.
For he shall deliver the poor from the mighty: and the needy that had no helper.
13 Parcet pauperi et inopi: et animas pauperum salvas faciet.
He shall spare the poor and needy: and he shall save the souls of the poor.
14 Ex usuris et iniquitate redimet animas eorum: et honorabile nomen eorum coram illo.
He shall redeem their souls from usuries and iniquity: and their names shall be honourable in his sight.
15 Et vivet, et dabitur ei de auro Arabiae, et adorabunt de ipso semper: tota die benedicent ei.
And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Arabia, for him they shall always adore: they shall bless him all the day.
16 Et erit firmamentum in terra in summis montium, superextolletur super Libanum fructus eius: et florebunt de civitate sicut foenum terrae.
And there shall be a firmament on the earth on the tops of mountains, above Libanus shall the fruit thereof be exalted: and they of the city shall flourish like the grass of the earth.
17 Sit nomen eius benedictum in saecula: ante Solem permanet nomen eius. Et benedicentur in ipso omnes tribus terrae: omnes gentes magnificabunt eum.
Let his name be blessed for evermore: his name continueth before the sun. And in him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed: all nations shall magnify him.
18 Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel, qui facit mirabilia solus:
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone doth wonderful things.
19 Et benedictum nomen maiestatis eius in aeternum: et replebitur maiestate eius omnis terra: fiat, fiat.
And blessed be the name of his majesty for ever: and the whole earth shall be filled with his majesty. So be it. So be it.
The praises of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.
