BIBBIA RICCIOTTI	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 - Al corifeo: [sull'aria] «Muori per il figlio». Salmo di David.	1 Unto the end. For the secrets of the Son. A Psalm of David.
2 Ti loderò, o Signore, con tutto il mio cuore, celebrerò tutte le tue meraviglie;	2 I will confess to you, Lord, with my whole heart. I will recount all your wonders.
3 m'allieterò ed esulterò in te, inneggerò al tuo nome, o Altissimo.	3 I will rejoice and exult in you. I will sing a psalm to your name, O Most High.
4 Mentre si volgono in fuga i miei nemici, son fiaccati e periscono in faccia a te.	4 For my enemy will be turned back. They will be weakened and perish before your face.
5 Perchè hai appoggiato il mio diritto e la mia causa, ti sei assiso in tribunale, o giudice di giustizia.	5 For you have accomplished my judgment and my cause. You have sat upon the throne that judges justice.
6 Hai rampognato le genti e l'empio è perito; il nome loro hai cancellato in eterno e per tutti i secoli.	6 You have rebuked the Gentiles, and the impious one has perished. You have deleted their name in eternity and for all generations.
7 Del nemico son finite le spade per sempre, e le loro città hai distrutto: perì con chiasso la memoria loro!	7 The spears of the enemy have failed in the end, and their cities, you have destroyed. Their memory has perished with a loud noise.
8 Ma il Signore in eterno sta: ha stabilito per il giudizio il suo trono.	8 But the Lord remains in eternity. He has prepared his throne in judgment.
9 E giudica il mondo con equità, regge i popoli con giustizia.	9 And he will judge the whole world in equity. He will judge the people in justice.
10 Ed è il Signore un rifugio all'oppresso, un aiuto a tempo opportuno, nella tribolazione.	10 And the Lord has become a refuge for the poor, a helper in opportunity, in tribulation.
11 E sperano in te, quei che conoscono il tuo nome, perché tu non abbandoni chi ti cerca, o Signore.	11 And may they hope in you, who know your name. For you have not abandoned those seeking you, Lord.
12 Inneggiate al Signore che abita in Sion, proclamate tra le genti le sue gesta.	12 Sing a psalm to the Lord, who dwells in Zion. Announce his study among the Gentiles.
13 Perchè il vendicatore del sangue s'è ricordato di loro, non ha dimenticato il grido degli oppressi.	13 Because of those who yearned for their blood, he has remembered them. He has not forgotten the cry of the poor.
14 Abbi pietà di me, o Signore, mira l'afflizione mia per opera de' miei nemici,	14 Have mercy on me, Lord. See my humiliation from my enemies.
15 tu che m' hai tratto su dalle porte della morte, perch'io celebri tutte le tue lodi[e] alle porte della figlia di Sion	15 You lift me up from the gates of death, so that I may announce all your praises at the gates of the daughter of Zion.
16 esulti per la salvezza [venutami] da te. Sprofondate son le genti nella rovina ch'avevan preparata, nel laccio stesso ch'avevan nascosto restò impigliato il loro piede.	16 I will exult in your salvation. The Gentiles have become trapped in the ruin that they made. Their foot has been caught in the same snare that they themselves had hidden.
17 S'è fatto conoscere il Signore col far giustizia: nell'opera delle proprie mani restò preso il peccatore.	17 The Lord will be recognized when making judgments. The sinner has been caught in the works of his own hands.
18 Sian travolti gli empi negli Inferi, le genti tutte che dimenticano Dio!	18 The sinners will be turned into Hell: all the Gentiles who have forgotten God.
19 Perché non per sempre sarà il povero nell'oblio, la paziente attesa de' miseri non sarà frustrata per sempre.	19 For the poor will not be forgotten in the end. The patience of the poor will not perish in the end.
20 Sorgi, o Signore! Non s'inorgoglisca l'uomo: sian giudicate le genti al tuo cospetto.	20 Rise up, Lord: do not let man be strengthened. Let the Gentiles be judged in your sight.
21 Imponi, o Signore, sovr'esse un legislatore [dalla mano di ferro], perché conoscan le genti, che son uomini [e nulla più].	21 O Lord, establish a lawgiver over them, so that the Gentiles may know that they are only men.
	22 So then, why, O Lord, have you withdrawn far away? Why have you overlooked us in opportunity, in tribulation?
	23 While the impious is arrogant, the poor is enflamed. They are held by the counsels that they devise.
	24 For the sinner is praised by the desires of his soul, and the iniquitous is blessed.
	25 The sinner has provoked the Lord; according to the multitude of his wrath, he will not seek him.
	26 God is not before his sight. His ways are stained at all times. Your judgments are removed from his face. He will be master of all his enemies.
	27 For he has said in his heart, “I will not be disturbed: from generation to generation without evil.”
	28 His mouth is full of curses, and bitterness, and deceit. Under his tongue are hardship and sorrow.
	29 He sits in ambush, with resources in hidden places, so that he may execute the innocent.
	30 His eyes catch sight of the poor. He lies in ambush, in hiding like a lion in his den. He lies in ambush, so that he may seize the poor, to seize the poor as he draws him in.
	31 With his snare, he will bring him down. He will crouch down and pounce, when he has power over the poor.
	32 For he has said in his heart, “God has forgotten, he has turned away his face, lest he see to the end.”
	33 O Lord God, rise up. Let your hand be exalted. Do not forget the poor.
	34 How has the impious one provoked God? For he has said in his heart, “He will not inquire.”
	35 You do see, for you examine hardship and sorrow, so that you may deliver them into your hands. The poor one has been abandoned to you. You will be a helper to the orphan.
	36 Break the arm of the sinner and the malicious. His sin will be sought, and it will not be found.
	37 The Lord shall reign in eternity, even forever and ever. You will perish the Gentiles from his land.
	38 The Lord has heeded the desire of the poor. Your ear has listened to the preparation of their heart,
	39 so as to judge for the orphan and the humble, so that man may no longer presume to magnify himself upon the earth.
