JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Psalmus, in Salomonem.
1In Thee, O LORD, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed.
2[Deus, judicium tuum regi da, et justitiam tuam filio regis; judicare populum tuum in justitia, et pauperes tuos in judicio.
2Deliver me in Thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline Thine ear unto me, and save me.
3Suscipiant montes pacem populo, et colles justitiam.
3Be Thou to me a sheltering rock, whereunto I may continually resort, which Thou hast appointed to save me; for Thou art my rock and my fortress.
4Judicabit pauperes populi, et salvos faciet filios pauperum, et humiliabit calumniatorem.
4O my God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man.
5Et permanebit cum sole, et ante lunam, in generatione et generationem.
5For Thou art my hope; O Lord GOD, my trust from my youth.
6Descendet sicut pluvia in vellus, et sicut stillicidia stillantia super terram.
6Upon Thee have I stayed myself from birth; Thou art He that took me out of my mother's womb; my praise is continually of Thee.
7Orietur in diebus ejus justitia, et abundantia pacis, donec auferatur luna.
7I am as a wonder unto many; but Thou art my strong refuge.
8Et dominabitur a mari usque ad mare, et a flumine usque ad terminos orbis terrarum.
8My mouth shall be filled with Thy praise, and with Thy glory all the day.
9Coram illo procident Æthiopes, et inimici ejus terram lingent.
9Cast me not off in the time of old age; when my strength faileth, forsake me not.
10Reges Tharsis et insulæ munera offerent; reges Arabum et Saba dona adducent:
10For mine enemies speak concerning me, and they that watch for my soul take counsel together,
11et adorabunt eum omnes reges terræ; omnes gentes servient ei.
11Saying: 'God hath forsaken him; pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.'
12Quia liberabit pauperem a potente, et pauperem cui non erat adjutor.
12O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.
13Parcet pauperi et inopi, et animas pauperum salvas faciet.
13Let them be ashamed and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and confusion that seek my hurt.
14Ex usuris et iniquitate redimet animas eorum, et honorabile nomen eorum coram illo.
14But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise Thee yet more and more.
15Et vivet, et dabitur ei de auro Arabiæ; et adorabunt de ipso semper, tota die benedicent ei.
15My mouth shall tell of Thy righteousness, and of Thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
16Et erit firmamentum in terra in summis montium; superextolletur super Libanum fructus ejus, et florebunt de civitate sicut fœnum terræ.
16I will come with Thy mighty acts, O Lord GOD; I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thine only.
17Sit nomen ejus benedictum in sæcula; ante solem permanet nomen ejus. Et benedicentur in ipso omnes tribus terræ; omnes gentes magnificabunt eum.
17O God, Thou hast taught me from my youth; and until now do I declare Thy wondrous works.
18Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, qui facit mirabilia solus.
18And even unto old age and hoary hairs, O God, forsake me not; until I have declared Thy strength unto the next generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.
19Et benedictum nomen majestatis ejus in æternum, et replebitur majestate ejus omnis terra. Fiat, fiat.]
19Thy righteousness also, O God, which reacheth unto high heaven; Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto Thee?
20Defecerunt laudes David, filii Jesse.
20Thou, who hast made me to see many and sore troubles, wilt quicken me again, and bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
