Berean Standard Bible
1Psalmus Asaph. [Quam bonus Israël Deus, his qui recto sunt corde !
1Endow the king with Your justice, O God, and the son of the king with Your righteousness.
2Mei autem pene moti sunt pedes, pene effusi sunt gressus mei:
2May he judge Your people with righteousness and Your afflicted with justice.
3quia zelavi super iniquos, pacem peccatorum videns.
3May the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills bring righteousness.
4Quia non est respectus morti eorum, et firmamentum in plaga eorum.
4May he vindicate the afflicted among the people; may he save the children of the needy and crush the oppressor.
5In labore hominum non sunt, et cum hominibus non flagellabuntur.
5May they fear him as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon remains, through all generations.
6Ideo tenuit eos superbia; operti sunt iniquitate et impietate sua.
6May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth.
7Prodiit quasi ex adipe iniquitas eorum; transierunt in affectum cordis.
7May the righteous flourish in his days and prosperity abound, until the moon is no more.
8Cogitaverunt et locuti sunt nequitiam; iniquitatem in excelso locuti sunt.
8May he rule from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
9Posuerunt in cælum os suum, et lingua eorum transivit in terra.
9May the nomads bow before him, and his enemies lick the dust.
10Ideo convertetur populus meus hic, et dies pleni invenientur in eis.
10May the kings of Tarshish and distant shores bring tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.
11Et dixerunt: Quomodo scit Deus, et si est scientia in excelso?
11May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him.
12Ecce ipsi peccatores, et abundantes in sæculo obtinuerunt divitias.
12For he will deliver the needy who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper.
13Et dixi: Ergo sine causa justificavi cor meum, et lavi inter innocentes manus meas,
13He will take pity on the poor and needy and save the lives of the oppressed.
14et fui flagellatus tota die, et castigatio mea in matutinis.
14He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their blood is precious in his sight.
15Si dicebam: Narrabo sic; ecce nationem filiorum tuorum reprobavi.
15Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him; may they bless him all day long.
16Existimabam ut cognoscerem hoc; labor est ante me:
16May there be an abundance of grain in the land; may it sway atop the hills. May its fruit trees flourish like the forests of Lebanon, and its people like the grass of the field.
17donec intrem in sanctuarium Dei, et intelligam in novissimis eorum.
17May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun shines. In him may all nations be blessed; may they call him blessed.
18Verumtamen propter dolos posuisti eis; dejecisti eos dum allevarentur.
18Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
19Quomodo facti sunt in desolationem? subito defecerunt: perierunt propter iniquitatem suam.
19And blessed be His glorious name forever; may all the earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen.
20Velut somnium surgentium, Domine, in civitate tua imaginem ipsorum ad nihilum rediges.
20Thus conclude the prayers of David son of Jesse.
21Quia inflammatum est cor meum, et renes mei commutati sunt;
