Psalms, 32

1. A psalm for David. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright.

1. Di Davide. Maskil. Beato colui al quale è stato perdonato l'errore, è stato coperto il peccato.

2. Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.

2. Beato l'uomo a cui il Signore non imputa la colpa e inganno non c'è nel suo spirito.

3. Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise.

3. Sì, ero diventato arido come coccio, s'erano consunte le mie ossa per il mio ruggire durante il giorno;

4. For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness.

4. poiché giorno e notte la tua mano pesava su di me; svanito era il mio vigore come da arsura estiva.

5. He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

5. Ti feci conoscere il mio peccato, non più nascosi la mia colpa dicendo: "Riconosco, Signore, i miei errori", e tu perdonasti il mio peccato.

6. By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:

6. Perciò ogni devoto a te si rivolgerà in preghiera quando la sventura lo colpisce. Anche se irromperanno acque possenti, a lui non giungeranno.

7. Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths in storehouses.

7. Tu sei per me un rifugio, nella sventura tu mi proteggi, con grida di salvezza tu mi circondi.

8. Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.

8. Ti voglio istruire, voglio mostrarti la via da percorrere, su di te fissando il mio occhio.

9. For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created.

9. Non essere come il cavallo o il mulo, senza intelletto, con morso e briglia si può frenare il suo impeto, diversamente non ti si accosta.

10. The Lord bringeth to naught the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.

10. Molte sono le calamità per l'empio ma chi confida nel Signore, di misericordia egli lo circonda.

11. But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

11. Gioite nel Signore ed esultate, o giusti, giubilate voi tutti, retti di cuore.

12. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.

12.

13. The Lord hath looked from heaven: he hath beheld all the sons of men.

13.

14. From his habitation which he hath prepared, he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth.

14.

15. He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: who understandeth all their works.

15.

16. The king is not saved by a great army: nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength.

16.

17. Vain is the horse for safety: neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength.

17.

18. Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: and on them that hope in his mercy.

18.

19. To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine.

19.

20. Our soul waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector.

20.

21. For in him our heart shall rejoice: and in his holy name we have trusted.

21.

22. Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in thee.

22.
