Salmi 35

BIBBIA VOLGARE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 In fine, al servo del Signore.	1 For David himself. Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me : overthrow them that fight against me.
2 Disse l'ingiusto, acciò che pecchi in sè medesimo: dinanzi alli suoi occhi non è timore del Signore.	2 Take hold of arms and shield : and rise up to help me.
3 Imperò [che] nel suo cospetto operò con inganni, acciò fusse ritrovata la sua iniquità nell' odio.	3 Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me : say to my soul : I am thy salvation.
4 Le parole della sua bocca sono iniquità e inganno; non volse intendere per fare bene.	4 Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me.
5 Nel suo letto pensò la iniquità; fu presente a ogni via non buona, e non ebbe in odio la malizia.	5 Let them become as dust before the wind : and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.
6 Signore, in cielo è la tua misericordia; la tua verità è insino alle nubi.	6 Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
7 La tua giustizia è come monte di Dio; li tuoi molti giudicii sono come abisso. Salvarai, Signore, gli uomini e gli animali;	7 For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction : without cause they have upbraided my soul.
8 come, Iddio, moltiplicasti la tua misericordia. Ma gli figliuoli delli uomini spereranno nella defensione delle tue ale.	8 Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him : and let the net which he hath hidden catch him : and let the net which he hath hidden catch him : and into that very snare let them fall.
9 Inebriaransi dalla ubertà della tua casa; e abbeverara'li col torrente del tuo diletto.	9 But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.
10 Imperò che appo te è il fonte della vita; e nel tuo lume vederemo il lume.	10 All my bones shall say : Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip him.
11 Dimostra la tua misericordia a coloro che sanno te, e la tua giustizia alli dritti di cuore.	11 Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.
12 A me non venga il piede della superbia; non mi mova la mano del peccatore.	12 They repaid me evil for good : to the depriving me of my soul.
13 Quivi cascorono gli operatori delle iniquità; sono scacciati, e non potero stare.	13 But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.
	14 As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please : as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.
	15 But they rejoiced against me, and came together : scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.
	16 They were separated, and repented not : they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn : they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
	17 Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice : my only one from the lions.
	18 I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.
	19 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me : who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.
	20 For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.
	21 And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said : Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.
	22 Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent : O Lord, depart not from me.
	23 Arise, and be attentive to my judgment : to my cause, my God, and my Lord.
	24 Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, and let them not rejoice over me.
	25 Let them not say in their hearts : It is well, it is well, to our mind : neither let them say : We have swallowed him up.
	26 Let them blush : and be ashamed together, who rejoice at my evils. Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great things against me.
	27 Let them rejoice and be glad, who are well pleased with my justice, and let them say always : The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant.
	28 Any my tongue shall meditate thy justice, thy praise all the day long.
