Ant. Deus meus eripe me



Psalmus 70.
(8c)
Psalm 70.
70:1. In te, Dómine, sperávi, non confúndar in ætérnum : * in justítia tua líbera me, et éripe me. 1. In thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion: * deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me.
70:2. Inclína ad me aurem tuam, * et salva me. 2. Incline thy ear unto me, * and save me.
70:3. Esto mihi in Deum protectórem, et in locum munítum : * ut salvum me fácias, 3. Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: * that thou mayst make me safe.
70:4. Quóniam firmaméntum meum, * et refúgium meum es tu. 4. For thou art my firmament * and my refuge.
70:5. Deus meus, éripe me de manu peccatóris, * et de manu contra legem agéntis et iníqui : 5. Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the sinner, * and out of the hand of the transgressor of the law and of the unjust.
70:6. Quóniam tu es patiéntia mea, Dómine : * Dómine, spes mea a juventúte mea. 6. For thou art my patience, O Lord: * my hope, O Lord, from my youth.
70:7. In te confirmátus sum ex útero : * de ventre matris meæ tu es protéctor meus. 7. By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: * from my mother's womb thou art my protector.
70:8. In te cantátio mea semper : * tamquam prodígium factus sum multis : et tu adjútor fortis. 8. Of thee shall I continually sing: * I am become unto many as a wonder, but thou art a strong helper.
70:9. Repleátur os meum laude, ut cantem glóriam tuam : * tota die magnitúdinem tuam. 9. Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; * thy greatness all the day long.
70:10. Ne projícias me in témpore senectútis : * cum defécerit virtus mea, ne derelínquas me. 10. Cast me not off in the time of old age: * when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me.
70:11. Quia dixérunt inimíci mei mihi : * et qui custodiébant ánimam meam, consílium fecérunt in unum. 11. For my enemies have spoken against me; * and they that watched my soul have consulted together,
70:12. Dicéntes : Deus derelíquit eum, persequímini, et comprehéndite eum : * quia non est qui erípiat. 12. Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, * for there is none to deliver him.
70:12. Deus, ne elongéris a me : * Deus meus, in auxílium meum réspice. 12. O God, be not thou far from me: * O my God, make haste to my help.
70:13. Confundántur, et defíciant detrahéntes ánimæ meæ : * operiántur confusióne, et pudóre qui quærunt mala mihi. 13. Let them be confounded and come to nothing that detract my soul; * let them be covered with confusion and shame that seek my hurt.
70:14. Ego autem semper sperábo : * et adjíciam super omnem laudem tuam. 14. But I will always hope; * and will add to all thy praise.
70:15. Os meum annuntiábit justítiam tuam : * tota die salutáre tuum. 15. My mouth shall shew forth thy justice; * thy salvation all the day long.
70:16. Quóniam non cognóvi litteratúram, introíbo in poténtias Dómini : * Dómine, memorábor justítiæ tuæ solíus. 16. Because I have not known learning, I will enter into the powers of the Lord: * O Lord, I will be mindful of thy justice alone.
70:17. Deus, docuísti me a juventúte mea : * et usque nunc pronuntiábo mirabília tua. 17. Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: * and till now I will declare thy wonderful works.
70:18. Et usque in senéctam et sénium : * Deus, ne derelínquas me, 18. And unto old age and grey hairs: * O God, forsake me not,
70:19. Donec annúntiem bráchium tuum * generatióni omni, quæ ventúra est : 19. Until I shew forth thy arm * to all the generation that is to come:
70:20. Poténtiam tuam, et justítiam tuam, Deus, usque in altíssima, quæ fecísti magnália : * Deus, quis símilis tibi? 20. Thy power, and thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: * O God, who is like to thee?
70:21. Quantas ostendísti mihi tribulatiónes multas et malas : et convérsus vivificásti me : * et de abýssis terræ íterum reduxísti me : 21. How great troubles hast thou shewn me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, * and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth:
70:22. Multiplicásti magnificéntiam tuam : * et convérsus consolátus es me. 22. Thou hast multiplied thy magnificence; * and turning to me thou hast comforted me.
70:23. Nam et ego confitébor tibi in vasis psalmi veritátem tuam : * Deus, psallam tibi in cíthara, Sanctus Israël. 23. For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: * O God, I will sing to thee with the harp,
70:24. Exsultábunt lábia mea cum cantávero tibi : * et ánima mea, quam redemísti. 24. My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I shall sing to thee; * and my soul which thou hast redeemed.
70:24. Sed et lingua mea tota die meditábitur justítiam tuam : * cum confúsi et revériti fúerint, qui quærunt mala mihi. 24. Yea and my tongue shall meditate on thy justice all the day; * when they shall be confounded and put to shame that seek evils to me.
