Psalms 35

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBBIA VOLGARE
1 Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.	1 In fine, al servo del Signore.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.	2 Disse l'ingiusto, acciò che pecchi in sè medesimo: dinanzi alli suoi occhi non è timore del Signore.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.	3 Imperò [che] nel suo cospetto operò con inganni, acciò fusse ritrovata la sua iniquità nell' odio.
4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.	4 Le parole della sua bocca sono iniquità e inganno; non volse intendere per fare bene.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.	5 Nel suo letto pensò la iniquità; fu presente a ogni via non buona, e non ebbe in odio la malizia.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.	6 Signore, in cielo è la tua misericordia; la tua verità è insino alle nubi.
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.	7 La tua giustizia è come monte di Dio; li tuoi molti giudicii sono come abisso. Salvarai, Signore, gli uomini e gli animali;
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.	8 come, Iddio, moltiplicasti la tua misericordia. Ma gli figliuoli delli uomini spereranno nella defensione delle tue ale.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.	9 Inebriaransi dalla ubertà della tua casa; e abbeverara'li col torrente del tuo diletto.
10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?	10 Imperò che appo te è il fonte della vita; e nel tuo lume vederemo il lume.
11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.	11 Dimostra la tua misericordia a coloro che sanno te, e la tua giustizia alli dritti di cuore.
12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.	12 A me non venga il piede della superbia; non mi mova la mano del peccatore.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.	13 Quivi cascorono gli operatori delle iniquità; sono scacciati, e non potero stare.
14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
22 This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
