Psalms 81

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBBIA RICCIOTTI
1 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.	1 - Salmo di Asaf. Iddio si leva nel consenso degli dèi:[piantatosi] nel mezzo, fa giudizio degli dèi:
2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.	2 «Sino a quando giudicherete iniquamente e farete parzialità a' malvagi?
3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.	3 Rendete giustizia al poverello e all'orfano; al misero e all'indigente fate ragione.
4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.	4 Salvate il poverello e il mendico, dalle mani dell'empio liberate[li].
5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.	5 [Ma] costoro non sanno nè intendono, nelle tenebre van brancolando: son scosse tutte le fondamenta della terra!
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.	6 Io ho detto [altra volta]: Voi siete dèi, e figliuoli dell'Altissimo tutti!
7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.	7 Ma voi al par degli uomini morrete, e come uno [qualsiasi] dè principi [umani] cadrete».
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;	8 Sorgi, o Dio, giudica la terra, perchè tuo dominio saran tutte le genti.
9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
