Psalms 71

A psalm on Solomon.

Psalmus, in Salomonem.

εἰς Σαλωμων ὁ θεός τὸ κρίμα σου τῷ βασιλεῖ δὸς καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ βασιλέως

Give to the king thy judgment, O God, and to the king’s son thy justice: To judge thy people with justice, and thy poor with judgment.

Deus, judicium tuum regi da, et justitiam tuam filio regis; judicare populum tuum in justitia, et pauperes tuos in judicio.

κρίνειν τὸν λαόν σου ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ τοὺς πτωχούς σου ἐν κρίσει

Let the mountains receive peace for the people: and the hills justice.

Suscipiant montes pacem populo, et colles justitiam.

ἀναλαβέτω τὰ ὄρη εἰρήνην τῷ λαῷ σου καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ

He shall judge the poor of the people, and he shall save the children of the poor: and he shall humble the oppressor.

Judicabit pauperes populi, et salvos faciet filios pauperum, et humiliabit calumniatorem.

κρινεῖ τοὺς πτωχοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ σώσει τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν πενήτων καὶ ταπεινώσει συκοφάντην

And he shall continue with the sun and before the moon, throughout all generations.

Et permanebit cum sole, et ante lunam, in generatione et generationem.

καὶ συμπαραμενεῖ τῷ ἡλίῳ καὶ πρὸ τῆς σελήνης γενεὰς γενεῶν

He shall come down like rain upon the fleece; and as showers falling gently upon the earth.

Descendet sicut pluvia in vellus, et sicut stillicidia stillantia super terram.

καὶ καταβήσεται ὡς ὑετὸς ἐπὶ πόκον καὶ ὡσεὶ σταγόνες στάζουσαι ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν

In his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of peace, till the moon be taken away.

Orietur in diebus ejus justitia, et abundantia pacis, donec auferatur luna.

ἀνατελεῖ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ δικαιοσύνη καὶ πλῆθος εἰρήνης ἕως οὗ ἀνταναιρεθῇ ἡ σελήνη

And he shall rule from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

Et dominabitur a mari usque ad mare, et a flumine usque ad terminos orbis terrarum.

καὶ κατακυριεύσει ἀπὸ θαλάσσης ἕως θαλάσσης καὶ ἀπὸ ποταμοῦ ἕως περάτων τῆς οἰκουμένης

Before him the Ethiopians shall fall down: and his enemies shall lick the ground.

Coram illo procident Æthiopes, et inimici ejus terram lingent.

ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ προπεσοῦνται Αἰθίοπες καὶ οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ χοῦν λείξουσιν

The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts:

Reges Tharsis et insulæ munera offerent; reges Arabum et Saba dona adducent:

βασιλεῖς Θαρσις καὶ αἱ νῆσοι δῶρα προσοίσουσιν βασιλεῖς Ἀράβων καὶ Σαβα δῶρα προσάξουσιν

And all kings of the earth shall adore him: all nations shall serve him.

et adorabunt eum omnes reges terræ; omnes gentes servient ei.

καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν αὐτῷ πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη δουλεύσουσιν αὐτῷ

For he shall deliver the poor from the mighty: and the needy that had no helper.

Quia liberabit pauperem a potente, et pauperem cui non erat adjutor.

ὅτι ἐρρύσατο πτωχὸν ἐκ χειρὸς δυνάστου καὶ πένητα ᾧ οὐχ ὑπῆρχεν βοηθός

He shall spare the poor and needy: and he shall save the souls of the poor.

Parcet pauperi et inopi, et animas pauperum salvas faciet.

φείσεται πτωχοῦ καὶ πένητος καὶ ψυχὰς πενήτων σώσει

He shall redeem their souls from usuries and iniquity: and their names shall be honourable in his sight.

Ex usuris et iniquitate redimet animas eorum, et honorabile nomen eorum coram illo.

ἐκ τόκου καὶ ἐξ ἀδικίας λυτρώσεται τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν καὶ ἔντιμον τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῶν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ

And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Arabia, for him they shall always adore: they shall bless him all the day.

Et vivet, et dabitur ei de auro Arabiæ; et adorabunt de ipso semper, tota die benedicent ei.

καὶ ζήσεται καὶ δοθήσεται αὐτῷ ἐκ τοῦ χρυσίου τῆς Ἀραβίας καὶ προσεύξονται περὶ αὐτοῦ διὰ παντός ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν εὐλογήσουσιν αὐτόν

And there shall be a firmament on the earth on the tops of mountains, above Libanus shall the fruit thereof be exalted: and they of the city shall flourish like the grass of the earth.

Et erit firmamentum in terra in summis montium; superextolletur super Libanum fructus ejus, et florebunt de civitate sicut fœnum terræ.

ἔσται στήριγμα ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐπ' ἄκρων τῶν ὀρέων ὑπεραρθήσεται ὑπὲρ τὸν Λίβανον ὁ καρπὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξανθήσουσιν ἐκ πόλεως ὡσεὶ χόρτος τῆς γῆς

Let his name be blessed for evermore: his name continueth before the sun. And in him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed: all nations shall magnify him.

Sit nomen ejus benedictum in sæcula; ante solem permanet nomen ejus. Et benedicentur in ipso omnes tribus terræ; omnes gentes magnificabunt eum.

ἔστω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ εὐλογημένον εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας πρὸ τοῦ ἡλίου διαμενεῖ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καὶ εὐλογηθήσονται ἐν αὐτῷ πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη μακαριοῦσιν αὐτόν

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone doth wonderful things.

Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, qui facit mirabilia solus.

εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ὁ ποιῶν θαυμάσια μόνος

And blessed be the name of his majesty for ever: and the whole earth shall be filled with his majesty. So be it. So be it.

Et benedictum nomen majestatis ejus in æternum, et replebitur majestate ejus omnis terra. Fiat, fiat.

καὶ εὐλογητὸν τὸ ὄνομα τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ πληρωθήσεται τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ γένοιτο γένοιτο

The praises of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.

Defecerunt laudes David, filii Jesse.

ἐξέλιπον οἱ ὕμνοι Δαυιδ τοῦ υἱοῦ Ιεσσαι
