Chapter 70
Psal CPDV 70:1  A Psalm of David. Of the sons of Jonadab and the former captives. In you, O Lord, I have hoped; do not let me be brought to ruin forever.
Psal CPDV 70:2  Free me by your justice, and rescue me. Incline your ear to me, and save me.
Psal CPDV 70:3  Be a God of protection and a place of strength for me, so that you may accomplish my salvation. For you are my firmament and my refuge.
Psal CPDV 70:4  Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, and from the hand of the unjust and those who act against the law.
Psal CPDV 70:5  For you, O Lord, are my patience: my hope from my youth, O Lord.
Psal CPDV 70:6  In you, I have been confirmed from conception. From my mother’s womb, you are my protector. In you, I will sing forever.
Psal CPDV 70:7  I have become to many as if I were a portent, but you are a strong helper.
Psal CPDV 70:8  Let my mouth be filled with praise, so that I may sing your glory, your greatness all day long.
Psal CPDV 70:9  Do not cast me off in the time of old age. Do not abandon me when my strength will fail.
Psal CPDV 70:10  For my enemies have spoken against me. And those who watched for my soul have taken counsel as one,
Psal CPDV 70:11  saying: “God has abandoned him. Pursue and overtake him. For there is no one to rescue him.”
Psal CPDV 70:12  O God, do not be far from me. O my God, provide for my assistance.
Psal CPDV 70:13  May they be confounded, and may they fail, who drag down my soul. Let them be covered with confusion and shame, who seek evils for me.
Psal CPDV 70:14  But I will always have hope. And I will add more to all your praise.
Psal CPDV 70:15  My mouth will announce your justice, your salvation all day long. For I have not known letters.
Psal CPDV 70:16  I will enter into the powers of the Lord. I will be mindful of your justice alone, O Lord.
Psal CPDV 70:17  You have taught me from my youth, O God. And so I will declare your wonders continuously,
Psal CPDV 70:18  even in old age and with grey hairs. Do not abandon me, O God, while I announce your arm to every future generation: your power
Psal CPDV 70:19  and your justice, O God, even to the highest great things that you have done. O God, who is like you?
Psal CPDV 70:20  How great is the tribulation that you have revealed to me: very great and evil. And so, turning back, you have brought me to life, and you have led me back again from the abyss of the earth.
Psal CPDV 70:21  You have multiplied your magnificence. And so, turning back to me, you have consoled me.
Psal CPDV 70:22  Therefore, I will confess your truth to you, with the instruments of the Psalter. O God, I will sing psalms to you with stringed instruments, O Holy One of Israel.
Psal CPDV 70:23  My lips will exult, when I sing to you, and also my soul, which you have redeemed.
Psal CPDV 70:24  And even my tongue will meditate on your justice all day long, when those who seek evils for me have been confounded and set in awe.
