Salmi 37

BIBBIA TINTORI	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 (Salmo di David. Memoriale. Pel giorno di sabato).	1 A Psalm of David. Fret not yourself because of the wicked, be not envious of wrongdoers!
2 Signore, non mi riprendere nel tuo furore, non mi castigare nel tuo sdegno,	2 For they will soon fade like the grass, and wither like the green herb.
3 Perché le tue saette son confitte nella mia persona, e tu hai aggravata sopra di me la tua mano.	3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so you will dwell in the land, and enjoy security.
4 Non v'è più parte sana nella mia carne a cagione del tuo sdegno, non han pace le mie ossa per via dei miei peccati.	4 Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Perchè le mie iniquità mi passano sopra il capo e mi opprimono qual grave peso;	5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.
6 Si sono imputridite e corrotte le mie piaghe a motivo della mia follia.	6 He will bring forth your vindication as the light, and your right as the noonday.
7 Son divenuto infelice e tutto curvo, e passo tutto il giorno nella tristezza.	7 Be still before the LORD, and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over him who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!
8 Perchè i miei lombi sono pieni d'illusioni e non vi è sanità nella mia carne.	8 Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
9 Sono abbattuto e oltremodo umiliato, e vo sfogando in ruggiti i gemiti del mio cuore.	9 For the wicked shall be cut off; but those who wait for the LORD shall possess the land.
10 Signore, ti sta dinanzi ogni mio desiderio, e i miei sospiri non ti son nascosti.	10 Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look well at his place, he will not be there.
11 Ho il cuore agitato, le forze mi abbandonano, e mi viene meno anche il lume degli occhi.	11 But the meek shall possess the land, and delight themselves in abundant prosperity.
12 I miei amici e i miei congiunti, dopo essersi un po' avvicinati, si son fermati, e quelli che m'eran vicini s'allontanarono.	12 The wicked plots against the righteous, and gnashes his teeth at him;
13 E quelli che attentano alla mia vita fanno ogni sforzo, e quelli che cercano farmi del male minacciano guai, e tutto il giorno tessono inganni.	13 but the LORD laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming.
14 Ma io come sordo fo vista di non sentire e son come un muto che non apre la sua bocca.	14 The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows, to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those who walk uprightly;
15 Mi diporto come un uomo che non sente nulla e che nulla ha da dire in sua difesa.	15 their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 Perchè in te, o Signore, ho riposta la mia speranza, tu mi esaudirai, o Signore mio Dio.	16 Better is a little that the righteous has than the abundance of many wicked.
17 Ho detto: « Che non abbiano a sghignazzare di me i miei nemici, i quali, ogni volta che vacillo, parlan contro di me con arroganza ».	17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but the LORD upholds the righteous.
18 Io son esposto ai castighi e il dolore non mi lascia mai.	18 The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their heritage will abide for ever;
19 Confesso le mie iniquità e penso al mio peccato.	19 they are not put to shame in evil times, in the days of famine they have abundance.
20 Ma i miei nemici vivono e son più forti di me e si son moltiplicati quelli che mi odiano ingiustamente.	20 But the wicked perish; the enemies of the LORD are like the glory of the pastures, they vanish--like smoke they vanish away.
21 Quelli che rendono il male per il bene mi denigrano, perchè cerco di fare il bene.	21 The wicked borrows, and cannot pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives;
22 Non mi abbandonare, o Signore, mio Dio, non ti allontanare da me.	22 for those blessed by the LORD shall possess the land, but those cursed by him shall be cut off.
23 Accorri in mio soccorso, o Signore, Dio della mia salvezza.	23 The steps of a man are from the LORD, and he establishes him in whose way he delights;
	24 though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD is the stay of his hand.
	25 I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging bread.
	26 He is ever giving liberally and lending, and his children become a blessing.
	27 Depart from evil, and do good; so shall you abide for ever.
	28 For the LORD loves justice; he will not forsake his saints. The righteous shall be preserved for ever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
	29 The righteous shall possess the land, and dwell upon it for ever.
	30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
	31 The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not slip.
	32 The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him.
	33 The LORD will not abandon him to his power, or let him be condemned when he is brought to trial.
	34 Wait for the LORD, and keep to his way, and he will exalt you to possess the land; you will look on the destruction of the wicked.
	35 I have seen a wicked man overbearing, and towering like a cedar of Lebanon.
	36 Again I passed by, and, lo, he was no more; though I sought him, he could not be found.
	37 Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright, for there is posterity for the man of peace.
	38 But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed; the posterity of the wicked shall be cut off.
	39 The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; he is their refuge in the time of trouble.
	40 The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked, and saves them, because they take refuge in him.
