Psalms 130

DOUAI-RHEIMS	BIBBIA MARTINI
1 Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.	1 Cantico dei gradi. Signore, non si è insuperbito il mio cuore: ed alti non portai gli occhi miei.
2 Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.	2 Né aspirai a cose grandi, né a cose meravigliose sopra la mia capacità.
3 The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.	3 Se io (dando luogo al fasto nell'anima mia) non ebbi bassi sentimenti,
4 The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:	4 Quali son quei d'un fanciullo divezzato di fresco verso sua madre; cosi sia data a me la mercede.
5 let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.	5 Nel Signore speri Israele da questo punto, e pe' secoli.
6 Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:
7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.
8 And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
