Berean Standard Bible
1Psalmus, in Salomonem.
1In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
2[Deus, judicium tuum regi da, et justitiam tuam filio regis; judicare populum tuum in justitia, et pauperes tuos in judicio.
2In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; incline Your ear and save me.
3Suscipiant montes pacem populo, et colles justitiam.
3Be my rock of refuge, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress.
4Judicabit pauperes populi, et salvos faciet filios pauperum, et humiliabit calumniatorem.
4Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.
5Et permanebit cum sole, et ante lunam, in generatione et generationem.
5For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
6Descendet sicut pluvia in vellus, et sicut stillicidia stillantia super terram.
6I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.
7Orietur in diebus ejus justitia, et abundantia pacis, donec auferatur luna.
7I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge.
8Et dominabitur a mari usque ad mare, et a flumine usque ad terminos orbis terrarum.
8My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.
9Coram illo procident Æthiopes, et inimici ejus terram lingent.
9Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10Reges Tharsis et insulæ munera offerent; reges Arabum et Saba dona adducent:
10For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,
11et adorabunt eum omnes reges terræ; omnes gentes servient ei.
11saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”
12Quia liberabit pauperem a potente, et pauperem cui non erat adjutor.
12Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.
13Parcet pauperi et inopi, et animas pauperum salvas faciet.
13May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.
14Ex usuris et iniquitate redimet animas eorum, et honorabile nomen eorum coram illo.
14But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.
15Et vivet, et dabitur ei de auro Arabiæ; et adorabunt de ipso semper, tota die benedicent ei.
15My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.
16Et erit firmamentum in terra in summis montium; superextolletur super Libanum fructus ejus, et florebunt de civitate sicut fœnum terræ.
16I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.
17Sit nomen ejus benedictum in sæcula; ante solem permanet nomen ejus. Et benedicentur in ipso omnes tribus terræ; omnes gentes magnificabunt eum.
17O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.
18Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, qui facit mirabilia solus.
18Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.
19Et benedictum nomen majestatis ejus in æternum, et replebitur majestate ejus omnis terra. Fiat, fiat.]
19Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?
20Defecerunt laudes David, filii Jesse.
20Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up.
