Salmi 103

Sacra Bibbia Garofalo	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Di David. Benedici Jahvè, anima mia, e tutto il mio interno il suo santo nome.	1 To David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are exceedingly great. You have clothed yourself with confession and beauty;
2 Benedici Jahvè, anima mia, né dimenticare tutti i suoi benefici:	2 you are dressed with light like a garment, while you stretch out heaven like a tent.
3 che rimette tutta la tua iniquità, che guarisce tutti i tuoi mali,	3 You cover its heights with water. You set the clouds as your stairs. You walk upon the wings of the winds.
4 che riscatta dalla fossa la tua vita, che ti corona di grazia e bontà,	4 You make your Angels a breath of life, and your ministers a burning fire.
5 che sazia nei beni la tua età avanzata, in modo che la tua giovinezza si rinnova come aquila.	5 You founded the earth upon its stable base. It will not be bent from age to age.
6 Jahvè opera giustizie e giudizi per tutti gli oppressi.	6 The abyss, like a garment, is its clothing. The waters will remain standing above the mountains.
7 Insegnò le sue vie a Mosè, ai figli d’Israele le sue opere.	7 At your rebuke, they will flee. At the voice of your thunder, they will dread.
8 Misericorde e pietoso Jahvè, tardo all’ira e grande di grazia.	8 The mountains ascend, and the plains descend, to the place which you have founded for them.
9 Non per sempre contende né in eterno serba lo sdegno.	9 You have set a limit that they will not cross. And they will not return to cover the earth.
10 Non ci ha trattato secondo i nostri peccati né ci ha ripagato secondo le nostre iniquità.	10 You spring forth fountains in steep valleys. The waters will cross through the midst of the mountains.
11 Perché, anzi, come il cielo soverchia la terra prevalse la sua bontà su coloro che lo temono.	11 All the wild beasts of the field will drink. The wild donkeys will anticipate in their thirst.
12 Perché come dista l’oriente dall’occidente ha allontanato da noi le nostre trasgressioni.	12 Above them, the flying things of the air will dwell. From the midst of the rocks, they will utter voices.
13 Come ha pietà un padre dei figli, ebbe pietà Jahvè di coloro che lo temono.	13 You irrigate the mountains from your heights. The earth will be satiated from the fruit of your works,
14 Perché egli conosce il nostro impasto, ricorda che siamo polvere.	14 producing grass for cattle and herbs for the service of men. So may you draw bread from the earth,
15 L’uomo: come fieno sono i suoi giorni, fiorisce come fiore di campo;	15 and wine, in order to cheer the heart of man. Then he may gladden his face with oil, and bread will confirm the heart of man.
16 perché il vento trascorre su di esso né più se ne rintraccia il luogo.	16 The trees of the field will be saturated, along with the cedars of Lebanon, which he planted.
17 Ma la grazia di Jahvè di secolo in secolo su coloro che lo temono e la sua giustizia va ai figli dei figli.	17 There, the sparrows will make their nests. The leader of them is the house of the heron.
18 A coloro che ne osservano l’alleanza, a quelli che ricordano i precetti per eseguirli.	18 The heights of the hills are for the deer; the rock is a refuge for the hedgehog.
19 Jahvè nei cieli fissò il suo trono e il suo regno ha dominio su tutto.	19 He has made the moon for seasons; the sun knows its setting.
20 Benedite Jahvè, angeli suoi; prodi potenti che eseguite il suo verbo, ascoltando il suono della sua parola.	20 You appointed darkness, and it has become night; all the beasts of the forest will cross through it.
21 Benedite Jahvè, tutti i suoi eserciti, servitori che fate la sua volontà.	21 The young lions will roar, while searching for and seizing their meal from God.
22 Benedite Jahvè, tutte le sue opere, in tutti i luoghi del suo regno. Benedici Jahvè, anima mia!	22 The sun arose, and they were gathered together; and in their dens, they will lie down together.
	23 Man will go forth to his work and to his activities, until the evening.
	24 How great are your works, O Lord! You have made all things in wisdom. The earth has been filled with your possessions.
	25 This sea is great and its hands are spacious. There are creeping things without number: the small animals with the great.
	26 There, the ships will pass by this sea-serpent that you have formed to mock them.
	27 All these expect you to give them food in due time.
	28 What you give to them, they will gather. When you open your hand, they will all be filled with goodness.
	29 But if you turn your face away, they will be disturbed. You will take away their breath, and they will fail, and they will return to their dust.
	30 You will send forth your Spirit, and they will be created. And you will renew the face of the earth.
	31 May the glory of the Lord be for all ages. The Lord will rejoice in his works.
	32 He considers the earth, and he makes it tremble. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
	33 I will sing to the Lord with my life. I will sing psalms to my God, as long as I am.
	34 May my speech be pleasing to him. Truly, I will take delight in the Lord.
	35 Let sinners fade away from the earth, along with the unjust, so that they may not be. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
