Salmi 76

LA SACRA BIBBIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Al maestro di coro. Con strumenti a corda. Salmo. Di Asaf. Canto.	1 Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.
2 Ben noto è Dio in Giuda, grande è il suo nome in Israele.	2 I cried out to the Lord with my voice, to God with my voice, and he attended to me.
3 In Gerusalemme s'è fissata la sua dimora, in Sion la sua abitazione.	3 In the days of my tribulation, I sought God, with my hands opposite him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be consoled.
4 Qui spezzò le saette dell'arco, lo scudo, la spada, la guerra.	4 I was mindful of God, and I was delighted, and I was distressed, and my spirit fell away.
5 Splendido tu sei apparso, o Potente, più che i monti eterni. Della preda	5 My eyes anticipated the vigils. I was disturbed, and I did not speak.
6 furono spogliati i valorosi, sorpresi nel sonno. Nessun prode più trovava la vigoria delle sue mani.	6 I considered the days of antiquity, and I held the years of eternity in my mind.
7 Alla tua minaccia, o Dio di Giacobbe, rimasero storditi cavalli e cavalieri.	7 And I meditated in the night with my heart, and I was distressed, and I examined my spirit.
8 Terribile tu sei... Chi può resistere davanti alla veemenza della tua ira?	8 So then, will God reject for eternity? Will he not continue to allow himself to show favor?
9 Hai fatto udire dai cieli la sentenza; la terra è sbigottita e tace	9 Or, will he cut off his mercy in the end, from generation to generation?
10 quando Dio si alza per giudicare, per recare salvezza a tutti i poveri della terra.	10 And would God ever forget to be merciful? Or, would he, in his wrath, restrict his mercies?
11 Sì, l'uomo colpito dal tuo furore ti renderà grazie e lo scampato dalla tua ira ti farà festa.	11 And I said, “Now I have begun. This change is from the right hand of the Most High.”
12 Fate voti al Signore, vostro Dio, e adempiteli; tutti i popoli confinanti portino i loro doni	12 I was mindful of the works of the Lord. For I will be mindful from the beginning of your wonders,
13 a lui che toglie il respiro ai potenti, che si mostra terribile verso i re della terra.	13 and I will meditate on all your works. And I will take part in your intentions.
	14 Your way, O God, is in what is holy. Which God is great like our God?
	15 You are the God who performs miracles. You have made your virtue known among the peoples.
	16 With your arm, you have redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and of Joseph.
	17 The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you, and they were afraid, and the depths were stirred up.
	18 Great was the sound of the waters. The clouds uttered a voice. For your arrows also pass by.
	19 The voice of your thunder is like a wheel. Your flashes have illuminated the whole world. The earth has quaked and trembled.
	20 Your way is through the sea, and your paths are through many waters. And your traces will not be known.
	21 You have conducted your people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
