Psalms 70

A prayer for perseverance.

Psalmus David, filiorum Jonadab, et priorum captivorum. In te, Domine, speravi; non confundar in æternum.

A psalm for David. Of the sons of Jonadab, and the former captives. In thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion:

  • Of the sons of Jonadab: The Rechabites, of whom see Jer. 35. By this addition of the seventy-two interpreters, we gather that this psalm was usually sung in the synagogue, in the person of the Rechabites, and of those who were first carried away into captivity.
#

In justitia tua libera me, et eripe me: inclina ad me aurem tuam, et salva me.

Deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me. Incline thy ear unto me, and save me.

#

Esto mihi in Deum protectorem, et in locum munitum, ut salvum me facias: quoniam firmamentum meum et refugium meum es tu.

Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: that thou mayst make me safe. For thou art my firmament and my refuge.

#

Deus meus, eripe me de manu peccatoris, et de manu contra legem agentis, et iniqui:

Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the sinner, and out of the hand of the transgressor of the law and of the unjust.

#

quoniam tu es patientia mea, Domine; Domine, spes mea a juventute mea.

For thou art my patience, O Lord: my hope, O Lord, from my youth.

#

In te confirmatus sum ex utero; de ventre matris meæ tu es protector meus; in te cantatio mea semper.

By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: from my mother's womb thou art my protector. Of thee I shall continually sing:

#

Tamquam prodigium factus sum multis; et tu adjutor fortis.

I am become unto many as a wonder, but thou art a strong helper.

#

Repleatur os meum laude, ut cantem gloriam tuam, tota die magnitudinem tuam.

Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; thy greatness all the day long.

#

Ne projicias me in tempore senectutis; cum defecerit virtus mea, ne derelinquas me.

Cast me not off in the time of old age: when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me.

#

Quia dixerunt inimici mei mihi, et qui custodiebant animam meam consilium fecerunt in unum,

For my enemies have spoken against me; and they that watched my soul have consulted together,

#

dicentes: Deus dereliquit eum: persequimini et comprehendite eum, quia non est qui eripiat.

Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.

#

Deus, ne elongeris a me; Deus meus, in auxilium meum respice.

O God, be not thou far from me: O my God, make haste to my help.

#

Confundantur et deficiant detrahentes animæ meæ; operiantur confusione et pudore qui quærunt mala mihi.

Let them be confounded and come to nothing that detract my soul; let them be covered with confusion and blame that seek my hurt.

#

Ego autem semper sperabo, et adjiciam super omnem laudem tuam.

But I will always hope; and will add to all thy praise.

#

Os meum annuntiabit justitiam tuam, tota die salutare tuum. Quoniam non cognovi litteraturam,

My mouth shall shew forth thy justice; thy salvation all the day long. Because I have not known learning,

  • Learning: As much as to say, I build not upon human learning, but only on the power and justice of God.
#

introibo in potentias Domini; Domine, memorabor justitiæ tuæ solius.

I will enter into the powers of the Lord: O Lord, I will be mindful of thy justice alone.

#

Deus, docuisti me a juventute mea; et usque nunc pronuntiabo mirabilia tua.

Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: and till now I will declare thy wonderful works.

#

Et usque in senectam et senium, Deus, ne derelinquas me, donec annuntiem brachium tuum generationi omni quæ ventura est, potentiam tuam,

And unto old age and grey hairs: O God, forsake me not, Until I shew forth thy arm to all the generation that is to come: Thy power,

#

et justitiam tuam, Deus, usque in altissima; quæ fecisti magnalia, Deus: quis similis tibi?

And thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: O God, who is like to thee?

#

Quantas ostendisti mihi tribulationes multas et malas! et conversus vivificasti me, et de abyssis terræ iterum reduxisti me.

How great troubles hast thou shewn me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth:

#

Multiplicasti magnificentiam tuam; et conversus consolatus es me.

Thou hast multiplied thy magnificence; and turning to me thou hast comforted me.

#

Nam et ego confitebor tibi in vasis psalmi veritatem tuam, Deus; psallam tibi in cithara, sanctus Israël.

For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: O God, I will sing to thee with the harp, thou holy one of Israel.

#

Exsultabunt labia mea cum cantavero tibi; et anima mea quam redemisti.

My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I shall sing to thee; and my soul which thou hast redeemed.

#

Sed et lingua mea tota die meditabitur justitiam tuam, cum confusi et reveriti fuerint qui quærunt mala mihi.

Yea and my tongue shall meditate on thy justice all the day; when they shall be confounded and put to shame that seek evils to me.
