Psalms 26

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBBIA CEI 1974
1 A Psalm of David, before he was sealed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?	1 'Di Davide.' Signore, fammi giustizia: nell'integrità ho camminato, confido nel Signore, non potrò vacillare.
2 Meanwhile, the guilty draw near to me, so as to eat my flesh. Those who trouble me, my enemies, have themselves been weakened and have fallen.	2 Scrutami, Signore, e mettimi alla prova, raffinami al fuoco il cuore e la mente.
3 If entrenched armies were to stand together against me, my heart would not fear. If a battle were to rise up against me, I would have hope in this.	3 La tua bontà è davanti ai miei occhi e nella tua verità dirigo i miei passi.
4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this I will seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, so that I may behold the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.	4 Non siedo con gli uomini mendaci e non frequento i simulatori.
5 For he has hidden me in his tabernacle. In the day of evils, he has protected me in the hidden place of his tabernacle.	5 Odio l'alleanza dei malvagi, non mi associo con gli empi.
6 He has exalted me upon the rock, and now he has exalted my head above my enemies. I have circled around and offered a sacrifice of loud exclamation in his tabernacle. I will sing, and I will compose a psalm, to the Lord.	6 Lavo nell'innocenza le mie mani e giro attorno al tuo altare, Signore,
7 Hear my voice, O Lord, with which I have cried out to you. Have mercy on me, and hear me.	7 per far risuonare voci di lode e per narrare tutte le tue meraviglie.
8 My heart has spoken to you; my face has sought you. I yearn for your face, O Lord.	8 Signore, amo la casa dove dimori e il luogo dove abita la tua gloria.
9 Do not turn your face away from me. In your wrath, do not turn aside from your servant. Be my helper. Do not abandon me, and do not despise me, O God, my Saviour.	9 Non travolgermi insieme ai peccatori, con gli uomini di sangue non perder la mia vita,
10 For my father and my mother have left me behind, but the Lord has taken me up.	10 perché nelle loro mani è la perfidia, la loro destra è piena di regali.
11 O Lord, establish a law for me in your way, and direct me in the right path, because of my enemies.	11 Integro è invece il mio cammino; riscattami e abbi misericordia.
12 Do not surrender me to the souls of those who trouble me. For unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and iniquity has lied to itself.	12 Il mio piede sta su terra piana; nelle assemblee benedirò il Signore.
13 I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the Lord, act manfully; and let your heart be strengthened, and remain with the Lord.
