Psalms, 108
1. Unto the end, a psalm for David.
1. Canto. Salmo. Di Davide.
2. O God, be not thou silent in thy praise: for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful man is opened against me.
2. Pronto è il mio cuore, o Dio: voglio cantare e inneggiare; così pure l'animo mio.
3. They have spoken against with deceitful tongues; and they have compassed me about with words of hatred; and have fought against me without cause.
3. Destatevi, arpa e cetra, perché possa destar l'aurora.
4. Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: but I gave myself to prayer.
4. Ti celebrerò fra i popoli, Signore, e a te inneggerò fra le nazioni;
5. And they repaid me evil for good: and hatred for my love.
5. poiché grande fino ai cieli è la sua misericordia, fino alle nubi la sua fedeltà.
6. Set thou the sinner over him: and may the devil stand at his right hand.
6. Sii esaltato fino al cielo, o Dio, s'estenda la tua gloria su tutta la terra.
7. When he is judged, may he go out condemned; and may his prayer be turned to sin.
7. Affinché siano salvi i tuoi eletti, porta salvezza con la tua destra ed esaudiscici!
8. May his days be few: and his bishopric let another take.
8. Dio parla nel suo santuario: "Esulterò e spartirò Sichem, dividerò la valle di Succot.
9. May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
9. Mio è Gàlaad e mio è Manasse: Efraim è l'elmo del mio capo; Giuda il mio scettro;
10. Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; and let them be cast out of their dwellings.
10. Moab, il catino del mio lavacro; su Edom getto le calzature; sulla Filistea io voglio esultare".
11. May the userer search all his substance: and let strangers plunder his labours.
11. Chi vorrà portarmi alla città munita? Chi vorrà guidarmi sino a Edom?
12. May there be none to help him: nor none to pity his fatherless offspring.
12. Non sei stato forse tu a rigettarci? E non esci più, o Dio, alla testa delle nostre schiere?
13. May his posterity be cut off; in one generation may his name be blotted out.
13. Dacci tu l'aiuto contro l'avversario, vano è infatti il soccorso dell'uomo.
14. May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered in the sight of the Lord: and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
14. Con Dio faremo prodigi, sarà egli ad abbattere i nostri nemici.
15. May they be before the lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth:
15.
16. because he remembered not to show mercy,
16.
17. But persecuted the poor man and the beggar; and the broken in heart, to put him to death.
17.
18. And he loved cursing, and it shall come unto him: and he would not have blessing, and it shall be far from him. And he put on cursing, like a garment: and it went in like water into his entrails, and like oil in his bones.
18.
19. May it be unto him like a garment which covereth him; and like a girdle with which he is girded continually.
19.
20. This is the work of them who detract me before the Lord; and who speak evils against my soul.
20.
21. But thou, O Lord, do with for thy names sake: because thy mercy is sweet. Do thou deliver me.
21.
22. for I am poor and needy, and my heart is troubled within me.
22.
23. I am taken away like the shadow when it declineth: and I am shaken off as locusts.
23.
24. My knees are weakened through fasting: and my flesh is changed for oil.
24.
25. And I am become a reproach to them: they saw me and they shaked their heads,
25.
26. Help me, O Lord my God; save me according to thy mercy.
26.
27. And let them know that this is thy hand: and that thou, O Lord, hast done it.
27.
28. They will curse and thou will bless: let them that rise up against me be confounded: but thy servant shall rejoice.
28.
29. Let them that detract me be clothed with shame: and let them be covered with the their confusion as with a double cloak.
29.
30. I will give great thanks to the Lord with my mouth: and in the midst of many I will praise him.
30.
31. Because he hath stood at the right hand of the poor, to save my soul from persecutors
31.
