Psalms 19

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	BIBBIA RICCIOTTI
1 For the leader. A psalm of David.	1 - Al corifeo. Salmo di David.
2 The heavens declare the glory of God; the sky proclaims its builder's craft.	2 T'esaudisca il Signore nel giorno dell'angustia, ti protegga il nome del Dio di Giacobbe!
3 One day to the next conveys that message; one night to the next imparts that knowledge.	3 Mandi aiuto a te dal [suo] santuario, e da Sion ti difenda.
4 There is no word or sound; no voice is heard;	4 Si ricordi d'ogni tuo sacrifizio, e il tuo olocausto [gli] sia gradito.
5 Yet their report goes forth through all the earth, their message, to the ends of the world. God has pitched there a tent for the sun;	5 Conceda a te secondo [brama] il tuo cuore, e ogni tuo disegno compia.
6 it comes forth like a bridegroom from his chamber, and like an athlete joyfully runs its course.	6 Giubileremo per il tuo trionfo, e nel nome del nostro Dio esulteremo!
7 From one end of the heavens it comes forth; its course runs through to the other; nothing escapes its heat.	7 Adempia il Signore tutte le tue preghiere. Io so già che il Signore salva il suo Unto! L'esaudirà dal santo suo cielocon la salvatrice potenza della sua destra.
8 The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul. The decree of the LORD is trustworthy, giving wisdom to the simple.	8 Questi [confidano] ne' carri, quelli ne' cavalli; ma noi nel nome del Signore Dio nostro invochiamo [vittoria].
9 The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart. The command of the LORD is clear, enlightening the eye.	9 Essi incespicano e cadono; noi sorgiamo e stiam ritti.
10 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The statutes of the LORD are true, all of them just;	10 O Signore, salva tu il re, ed esaudisci il giorno che t'invochiamo!
11 More desirable than gold, than a hoard of purest gold, Sweeter also than honey or drippings from the comb.
12 By them your servant is instructed; obeying them brings much reward.
13 Who can detect heedless failings? Cleanse me from my unknown faults.
14 But from willful sins keep your servant; let them never control me. Then shall I be blameless, innocent of grave sin.
15 Let the words of my mouth meet with your favor, keep the thoughts of my heart before you, LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
