Salmi 31

BIBBIA VOLGARE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Intelletto di David (cioè, questo è l' intelletto di David). Beati coloro, alli quali sono rimesse le sue iniquità, e' loro peccati sono coperti.	1 Unto the end, a psalm for David, in an ecstasy.
2 Beato l'uomo, al qual il Signore non reputerà il peccato, e nel suo spirito non è inganno.	2 In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, Iet me never be confounded: deliver me in thy justice.
3 Imperò ch' io tacetti, invecchiate sono le mie ossa, insino ch' io gridassi tutto lo giorno.	3 Bow down thy ear to me: make haste to deliver me. Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, to save me.
4 Per che dì e notte gravata è la tua mano sopra di me; sono convertito nella mia miseria, essendo punto con la spina.	4 For thou art my strength and my refuge; and for thy name's sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
5 A te feci manifesto il mio delitto, e la mia ingiustizia non occultai. Dissi: confesserò al Signore la mia ingiustizia contra di me; e perdonasti la empietà del mio peccato.	5 Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: for thou art my protector.
6 Per questa orarà [a te] ogni santo nel tempo bisognoso. Nientedimeno a lui non si approssimaranno nel diluvio di molte acque.	6 Into thy hands I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.
7 Tu sei il mio rifugio dalla tribulazione che mi ha circondato; letizia mia, libera me dai miei circondanti.	7 Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord:
8 A te darò intelletto, e ammaestrerò te in questa via che anderai; sopra di te fermerò gli occhi miei.	8 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy. For thou best regarded my humility, thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
9 Non vogliate essere fatti come cavallo e mulo, ne' quali non è intelletto. Con lo capestro e freno constringi loro mascelle, per che a te non si accostano.	9 And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.
10 Molti sono li flagelli del peccatore; ma la misericordia circonderà il sperante nel Signore.	10 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
11 Fatevi lieti nel Signore e rallegratevi, o giusti; e voi, dritti del cuore, gloriatevi.	11 For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed.
	12 I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled from me.
	13 I am forgotten as one dead from the heart. I am become as a vessel that is destroyed.
	14 For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about. While they assembled together against me, they consulted to take away my life.
	15 But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my God.
	16 My lots are in thy hands. Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; and from them that persecute me.
	17 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy.
	18 Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell.
	19 Let deceitful lips be made dumb. Which speak iniquity against the just, with pride and abuse.
	20 O how great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee! Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, in the sight of the sons of men.
	21 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, from the disturbance of men. Thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.
	22 Blessed be the Lord, for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me in a fortified city.
	23 But I said in the excess of my mind: I am cast away from before thy eyes. Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, when I cried to thee.
	24 O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord will require truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.
	25 Do ye manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord.
