Psalms, 76

1. Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of Asaph.

1. Al maestro di coro. Con strumenti a corda. Salmo. Di Asaf. Canto.

2. I cried to the Lord with my voice; to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.

2. Ben noto è Dio in Giuda, grande è il suo nome in Israele.

3. In the day of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be comforted:

3. In Gerusalemme s'è fissata la sua dimora, in Sion la sua abitazione.

4. I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.

4. Qui spezzò le saette dell'arco, lo scudo, la spada, la guerra.

5. My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.

5. Splendido tu sei apparso, o Potente, più che i monti eterni. Della preda

6. I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.

6. furono spogliati i valorosi, sorpresi nel sonno. Nessun prode più trovava la vigoria delle sue mani.

7. And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.

7. Alla tua minaccia, o Dio di Giacobbe, rimasero storditi cavalli e cavalieri.

8. Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?

8. Terribile tu sei... Chi può resistere davanti alla veemenza della tua ira?

9. Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation?

9. Hai fatto udire dai cieli la sentenza; la terra è sbigottita e tace

10. Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?

10. quando Dio si alza per giudicare, per recare salvezza a tutti i poveri della terra.

11. And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the most High.

11. Sì, l'uomo colpito dal tuo furore ti renderà grazie e lo scampato dalla tua ira ti farà festa.

12. I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.

12. Fate voti al Signore, vostro Dio, e adempiteli; tutti i popoli confinanti portino i loro doni

13. And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions.

13. a lui che toglie il respiro ai potenti, che si mostra terribile verso i re della terra.

14. Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God?

14.

15. Thou art the God that dost wonders. Thou hast made thy power known among the nations:

15.

16. with thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph.

16.

17. The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.

17.

18. Great was the noise of the waters: the clouds sent out a sound. For thy arrows pass:

18.

19. the voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled.

19.

20. Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy footsteps shall not be known.

20.

21. Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron

21.
