¹ - Al corifeo. Salmo di David. A ricordo d'esser stato salvato dal Signore.	¹ [For the choirmaster Tune: 'Lilies . . .' Of David] Save me, God, for the waters have closed in on myvery being.
² O Dio, volgiti in mio aiuto,Signore, affrettati a soccorrermi.	² I am sinking in the deepest swamp and there is no firm ground. I have stepped into deep water andthe waves are washing over me.
³ Sian confusi e svergognatiquei che cercan l'anima mia [per rapirla].	³ I am exhausted with cal ing out, my throat is hoarse, my eyes are worn out with searching for my God.
⁴ Sian volti in fuga e arrossiscanoquei che vogliono il mio male. Voltin tosto le spalle, arrossendo, quei che dicono: «Bene, bene!».	⁴ More numerous than the hairs of my head are those who hate me without reason. Those who seek toget rid of me are powerful, my treacherous enemies. (Must I give back what I have never stolen?)
⁵ Esultino e gioiscano in te tutti quei che ti cercano. E dicano sempre: «Sia magnificato il Signore!» quei che aman la tua salvezza.	⁵ God, you know how foolish I am, my offences are not hidden from you.
⁶ Io son meschino e poverello; o Signore, soccorrimi!	⁶ Those who hope in you must not be made fools of, Yahweh Sabaoth, because of me! Those who seekyou must not be disgraced, God of Israel, because of me!
⁷ Il mio aiuto e il mio liberatore se' tu: o Signore, non indugiare!	⁷ It is for you I bear insults, my face is covered with shame,
	⁸ I am estranged from my brothers, alienated from my own mother's sons;
	⁹ for I am eaten up with zeal for your house, and insults directed against you fall on me.
	¹⁰ I mortify myself with fasting, and find myself insulted for it,
	¹¹ I dress myself in sackcloth and become their laughing-stock,
	¹² the gossip of people sitting at the gate, and the theme of drunkards' songs.
	¹³ And so, I pray to you, Yahweh, at the time of your favour; in your faithful love answer me, in theconstancy of your saving power.
	¹⁴ Rescue me from the mire before I sink in; so I shal be saved from those who hate me, from thewatery depths.
	¹⁵ Let not the waves wash over me, nor the deep swal ow me up, nor the pit close its mouth on me.
	¹⁶ Answer me, Yahweh, for your faithful love is generous; in your tenderness turn towards me;
	¹⁷ do not turn away from your servant, be quick to answer me, for I am in trouble.
	¹⁸ Come to my side, redeem me, ransom me because of my enemies.
	¹⁹ You know well the insults, the shame and disgrace I endure. Every one of my oppressors is known toyou.
	²⁰ Insult has broken my heart past cure. I hoped for sympathy, but in vain, for consolers -- not one to befound.
	²¹ To eat they gave me poison, to drink, vinegar when I was thirsty.
	²² May their own table prove a trap for them, and their abundance a snare;
	²³ may their eyes grow so dim that they cannot see, al their muscles lose their strength.
	²⁴ Vent your fury on them, let your burning anger overtake them.
	²⁵ Reduce their encampment to ruin, and leave their tents untenanted,
	²⁶ for hounding someone you had already stricken, for redoubling the pain of one you had wounded.
	²⁷ Charge them with crime after crime, exclude them from your saving justice,
	²⁸ erase them from the book of life, do not enrol them among the upright.
	²⁹ For myself, wounded wretch that I am, by your saving power raise me up!
	³⁰ I wil praise God's name in song, I wil extol him by thanksgiving,
	³¹ for this wil please Yahweh more than an ox, than a bullock horned and hoofed.
	³² The humble have seen and are glad. Let your courage revive, you who seek God.
	³³ For God listens to the poor, he has never scorned his captive people.
	³⁴ Let heaven and earth and seas, and al that stirs in them, acclaim him!
	³⁵ For God wil save Zion, and rebuild the cities of Judah, and people will live there on their own land;
	³⁶ the descendants of his servants wil inherit it, and those who love his name wil dwell there.
