Psalms 72
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son;
1Psalmus Asaph. [Quam bonus Israël Deus, his qui recto sunt corde !
2That he may judge Thy people with righteousness, and Thy poor with justice.
2Mei autem pene moti sunt pedes, pene effusi sunt gressus mei:
3Let the mountains bear peace to the people, and the hills, through righteousness.
3quia zelavi super iniquos, pacem peccatorum videns.
4May he judge the poor of the people, and save the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor.
4Quia non est respectus morti eorum, et firmamentum in plaga eorum.
5They shall fear Thee while the sun endureth, and so long as the moon, throughout all generations.
5In labore hominum non sunt, et cum hominibus non flagellabuntur.
6May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
6Ideo tenuit eos superbia; operti sunt iniquitate et impietate sua.
7In his days let the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.
7Prodiit quasi ex adipe iniquitas eorum; transierunt in affectum cordis.
8May he have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the River unto the ends of the earth.
8Cogitaverunt et locuti sunt nequitiam; iniquitatem in excelso locuti sunt.
9Let them that dwell in the wilderness bow before him; and his enemies lick the dust.
9Posuerunt in cælum os suum, et lingua eorum transivit in terra.
10The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
10Ideo convertetur populus meus hic, et dies pleni invenientur in eis.
11Yea, all kings shall prostrate themselves before him; all nations shall serve him.
11Et dixerunt: Quomodo scit Deus, et si est scientia in excelso?
12For he will deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
12Ecce ipsi peccatores, et abundantes in sæculo obtinuerunt divitias.
13He will have pity on the poor and needy, and the souls of the needy he will save.
13Et dixi: Ergo sine causa justificavi cor meum, et lavi inter innocentes manus meas,
14He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence, and precious will their blood be in his sight;
14et fui flagellatus tota die, et castigatio mea in matutinis.
15That they may live, and that he may give them of the gold of Sheba, that they may pray for him continually, yea, bless him all the day.
15Si dicebam: Narrabo sic; ecce nationem filiorum tuorum reprobavi.
16May he be as a rich cornfield in the land upon the top of the mountains; may his fruit rustle like Lebanon; and may they blossom out of the city like grass of the earth.
16Existimabam ut cognoscerem hoc; labor est ante me:
17May his name endure for ever; may his name be continued as long as the sun; may men also bless themselves by him; may all nations call him happy.
17donec intrem in sanctuarium Dei, et intelligam in novissimis eorum.
18Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things;
18Verumtamen propter dolos posuisti eis; dejecisti eos dum allevarentur.
19And blessed be His glorious name for ever; and let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.
19Quomodo facti sunt in desolationem? subito defecerunt: perierunt propter iniquitatem suam.
20The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
20Velut somnium surgentium, Domine, in civitate tua imaginem ipsorum ad nihilum rediges.
