| 1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God, They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one. | 1 Al maestro del coro. Di Davide.Lo stolto pensa: «Dio non c’è».Sono corrotti, fanno cose abominevoli:non c’è chi agisca bene.
|
| 2 The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God. | 2 Il Signore dal cielo si china sui figli dell’uomoper vedere se c’è un uomo saggio,uno che cerchi Dio.
|
| 3 They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they acted deceitfully; the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways: and the way of peace they have not known: there is no fear of God before their eyes. | 3 Sono tutti traviati, tutti corrotti;non c’è chi agisca bene, neppure uno.
|
| 4 Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread ? | 4 Non impareranno dunque tutti i malfattori,che divorano il mio popolo come il panee non invocano il Signore?
|
| 5 They have not called upon the Lord: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear. | 5 Ecco, hanno tremato di spavento,perché Dio è con la stirpe del giusto.
|
| 6 For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man, but the Lord is his hope. | 6 Voi volete umiliare le speranze del povero,ma il Signore è il suo rifugio.
|
| 7 Who shall give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad. | 7 Chi manderà da Sion la salvezza d’Israele?Quando il Signore ristabilirà la sorte del suo popolo,esulterà Giacobbe e gioirà Israele. |
