Salmi 36

Sacra Bibbia Garofalo	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Per il capocoro. Del servitore di Jahvè. Di David.	1 A Psalm of David himself. Do not choose to imitate the malicious; neither should you envy those who work iniquity.
2 Sussurro del peccato al peccatore in fondo al suo cuore; non c’è timore di Dio nel cospetto dei suoi occhi.	2 For they will quickly wither away like dry grass, and in like manner to kitchen herbs, they will soon droop.
3 Poiché fece lusinghe ai suoi occhiquanto a scoprire la colpa, ad odiarla.	3 Hope in the Lord and do good, and dwell in the land, and so you shall be pastured with its riches.
4 Le parole della sua bocca sono malizia e frode, cessò di comprendere e di fare bene;	4 Delight in the Lord, and he will grant to you the petitions of your heart.
5 escogitò malizia sul suo giaciglio. Si tenne su una via non buona, non riprova il male.	5 Reveal your way to the Lord, and hope in him, and he will accomplish it.
6 Jahvè: nei cieli è la tua bontà, la tua fedeltà giunge fino alle nubi.	6 And he will bring forth your justice like the light, and your judgment like the midday.
7 La tua giustizia è come i monti divini, il tuo giudizio come il grande abisso; tu salvi, o Jahvè, l’uomo e il bestiame.	7 Be subject to the Lord and pray to him. Do not choose to compete with him who prospers in his way, with the man who does injustice.
8 Quanto è preziosa la tua bontà, o Dio; tale che i figli dell’uomo all’ombra delle tue ali si rifugiano.	8 Cease from wrath and leave behind rage. Do not choose to imitate the malicious.
9 Si inebriano dell’adipe della tua casa e il rivo delle tue delizie li disseta.	9 For those who are malicious will be exterminated. But those who remain with the Lord, these will inherit the land.
10 Infatti presso di te è la fonte di vita, nella tua luce vedremo la luce.	10 Yet still a little while, and the sinner will not be. And you will search his place and find nothing.
11 Continua la tua grazia a coloro che ti conoscono e la tua giustizia ai retti di cuore.	11 But the meek shall inherit the earth, and they will delight in the multitude of peace.
12 Non mi raggiunga piede orgoglioso e mano d’empio non mi riduca ramingo.	12 The sinner will observe the just, and he will gnash his teeth over him.
13 Di colpo caddero coloro che fanno il male; furono rovesciati né poterono risorgere.	13 But the Lord will laugh at him: for he knows in advance that his day will come.
	14 The sinners have drawn the sword, they have bent their bow, so as to cast down the poor and the needy, so as to massacre the upright of heart.
	15 Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.
	16 A little is better to the just than the many riches of sinners.
	17 For the arms of sinners will be crushed, but the Lord confirms the just.
	18 The Lord knows the days of the immaculate, and their inheritance will be in eternity.
	19 They will not be confounded in an evil time; and in days of famine, they will be satisfied:
	20 for sinners will perish. Truly, the adversaries of the Lord, soon after they have been honored and exalted, will fade away, in the same way that smoke fades away.
	21 The sinner will lend and not release, but the just one shows compassion and donates.
	22 For those who bless him will inherit the earth, but those who curse him will perish.
	23 The steps of a man will be directed by the Lord, and he will choose his way.
	24 When he falls, he will not be harmed, because the Lord places his hand under him.
	25 I have been young, and now I am old; and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his offspring seeking bread.
	26 He shows compassion and lends, all day long, and his offspring will be in blessing.
	27 Turn away from evil and do good, and dwell forever and ever.
	28 For the Lord loves judgment, and he will not abandon his saints. They will be kept safe in eternity. The unjust will be punished, and the offspring of the impious will perish.
	29 But the just will inherit the earth, and they will dwell upon it forever and ever.
	30 The mouth of the just one will express wisdom, and his tongue will speak judgment.
	31 The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps shall not be supplanted.
	32 The sinner considers the just one and seeks to put him to death.
	33 But the Lord will not abandon him into his hands, nor condemn him, when he will be judged.
	34 Wait for the Lord, and keep to his way. And he will exalt you, so as to inherit the land that you may seize. When the sinners will have passed away, then you shall see.
	35 I have seen the impious over-exalted, and lifted up like the cedars of Lebanon.
	36 And I passed by, and behold, he was not. And I sought him, and his place was not found.
	37 Keep to innocence, and gaze upon fairness: because there are allotments for the peaceful man.
	38 But the unjust will be destroyed together: the allotments of the impious will pass away.
	39 But the salvation of the just is from the Lord, and he is their protector in time of tribulation.
	40 And the Lord will help them and free them. And he will rescue them from sinners and save them, because they have hoped in him.
