World English Bible
1Psalmus Asaph. [Quam bonus Israël Deus, his qui recto sunt corde !
1God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son.
2Mei autem pene moti sunt pedes, pene effusi sunt gressus mei:
2He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.
3quia zelavi super iniquos, pacem peccatorum videns.
3The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
4Quia non est respectus morti eorum, et firmamentum in plaga eorum.
4He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.
5In labore hominum non sunt, et cum hominibus non flagellabuntur.
5They shall fear you while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6Ideo tenuit eos superbia; operti sunt iniquitate et impietate sua.
6He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
7Prodiit quasi ex adipe iniquitas eorum; transierunt in affectum cordis.
7In his days, the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.
8Cogitaverunt et locuti sunt nequitiam; iniquitatem in excelso locuti sunt.
8He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.
9Posuerunt in cælum os suum, et lingua eorum transivit in terra.
9Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust.
10Ideo convertetur populus meus hic, et dies pleni invenientur in eis.
10The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11Et dixerunt: Quomodo scit Deus, et si est scientia in excelso?
11Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.
12Ecce ipsi peccatores, et abundantes in sæculo obtinuerunt divitias.
12For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.
13Et dixi: Ergo sine causa justificavi cor meum, et lavi inter innocentes manus meas,
13He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy.
14et fui flagellatus tota die, et castigatio mea in matutinis.
14He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight.
15Si dicebam: Narrabo sic; ecce nationem filiorum tuorum reprobavi.
15He will live; and Sheba’s gold will be given to him. Men will pray for him continually. They will bless him all day long.
16Existimabam ut cognoscerem hoc; labor est ante me:
16Abundance of grain shall be throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.
17donec intrem in sanctuarium Dei, et intelligam in novissimis eorum.
17His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.
18Verumtamen propter dolos posuisti eis; dejecisti eos dum allevarentur.
18Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
19Quomodo facti sunt in desolationem? subito defecerunt: perierunt propter iniquitatem suam.
19Blessed be his glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and amen.
20Velut somnium surgentium, Domine, in civitate tua imaginem ipsorum ad nihilum rediges.
20This ends the prayers by David, the son of Jesse.
21Quia inflammatum est cor meum, et renes mei commutati sunt;
