Salmi 139

BIBBIA VOLGARE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 In fine, Salmo di David.	1 O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Liberami, Signore, dall' uomo malo; dall' uomo iniquo libera me.	2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Li quali hanno pensato l' iniquità nel cuore; tutto lo giorno ordinavano le battaglie.	3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 Hanno aguzzato loro lingue, come serpenti; il veneno dell' aspido sotto loro labbra.	4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Guardami, Signore, dalla mano del peccatore; e libera me dalli uomini iniqui. Egli pensorono d'ingannare le mie vie;	5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 a me li superbi nascosero il lacciuolo, e hanno (a me) isteso la fune per lacciuolo; appresso la via a me posero l' offensione.	6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Dissi al Signore: tu sei il Dio mio; tu esaudirai la voce della mia orazione.	7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 Signore, Signore, virtù della salute mia; festi ombra al mio capo nel dì della battaglia.	8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 Non mi dare, Signore, al peccatore nel mio desiderio; pensorono contra di me; non mi abbandonare, che forse non si esaltino.	9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Intorno loro capo, copriralli la fatica di loro labbra.	10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 Caderanno sopra loro li carboni; nel fuoco li lassarai posti; nelle miserie non susteneranno.	11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12 In terra non si drizzarà l'uomo linguoso; pigliaranno li mali l'uomo ingiusto insino alla morte.	12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
13 Cognobbi che il Signore farà il giudicio al bisognoso, e la vendetta al povero.	13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 Nientemeno li giusti confessaranno al nome tuo; e li dritti abitaranno con il volto tuo.	14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
	15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
	16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
	17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
	18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
	19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
	20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
	21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
	22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
	23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
	24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
