Salmi 37

BIBBIA MARTINI	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Salmo di David. Signore, non mi riprendere nel tuo furore, e non mi correggere nell'ira tua.	1 A psalm for David himself. Be not emulous of evildoers; nor envy them that work iniquity.
2 Perocché io porto fitte nella mia persona le tue saette, ed hai aggravato la mano tua sopra di me.	2 For they shall shortly wither away as grass, and as the green herbs shall quickly fall.
3 A cagione dell'ira tua non ha sanità la mia carne, non hanno pace le ossa mie a cagione de' mie peccati.	3 Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches.
4 Imperocché le mie iniquità sormontano la mia testa, e come peso grave mi premono.	4 Delight in the Lord, and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.
5 Si sono imputridite, e corrotte le piaghe mie a cagione di mia stoltezza.	5 Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him, and he will do it.
6 Son divenuto miserabile, e sono formisura incurvato: io n'andava tutto il di carico di tristezza.	6 And he will bring forth thy justice as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Perché pieni sono di illusioni i miei reni, e nella carne mia non è sanità.	7 Be subject to the Lord and pray to him Envy not the man who prospereth in his way; the man who doth unjust things.
8 Sono abbattuto, ed umiliato oltre modo: sfogava in ruggiti i gemiti del mio cuore.	8 Cease from anger, and leave rage; have no emulation to do evil.
9 Signore, sotto i tuoi occhi è ogni mio desiderio, e non è ascoso a te il mio gemere.	9 For the evildoers shall be cut off : but they that wait upon the Lord shall inherit the land.
10 Il mio cuore è turbato, la mia forza mi ha abbandonato, e lo stessa lume degli occhi non è più meco.	10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be : and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.
11 Gli amici miei, e i miei congiunti vennero, e si stettero a me dirimpetto. E i miei vicini da lungi si stavano:	11 But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight in abundance of peace.
12 Ma quelli, che cercavano la mia vita facevano i loro sforzi. E quei, che bramavan di nuocermi parlavano superbamente, e tutto di studiavano inganni.	12 The sinner shall watch the just man : and shall gnash upon him with his teeth.
13 Ma io quasi sordo non adiva, e fui come un mutolo, che non apre sua bocca.	13 But the Lord shall laugh at him : for he foreseeth that his day shall come.
14 E mi diportai qual uomo, che nulla intende, e non ha che dire in sua difesa.	14 The wicked have drawn out the sword : they have bent their bow. To cast down the poor and needy, to kill the upright of heart.
15 Perché in te io posi la mia speranza, tu mi esaudirai, Signore Dio mio.	15 Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.
16 Perché io dissi: Non trionfino giammai di me i miei nemici, i quali, ogni volta che i miei piedi vacillino, parlali superbamente contro di me.	16 Better is a little to the just, than the great riches of the wicked.
17 Perché io son preparato a' flagelli, e sta sempre dinanzi a me il mio dolore.	17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; but the Lord strengtheneth the just.
18 Perché io confesserò la mia iniquità, e penserò al mio peccato.	18 The Lord knoweth the days of undefiled; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 Ma i miei nemici vivono, e son più forti di me, e sono cresciuti di numero quei, che mi odiano ingiustamente.	19 They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled :
20 Quelli, che rendono male per bene parlavan male di me, perché io cercava il bene.	20 because the wicked shall perish. And the enemies of the Lord, presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, shall come to nothing and vanish like smoke.
21 Non abbandonarmi, Signore Dio mio, non ti allontanare da me.	21 The sinner shall borrow, and not pay again; but the just sheweth mercy and shall give.
22 Accorri in mio ajuto, o Signore Dio di mia salute.	22 For such as bless him shall inherit the land : but such as curse him shall perish.
	23 With the Lord shall the steps of a man be directed, and he shall like well his way.
	24 When he shall fall he shall not be bruised, for the Lord putteth his hand under him.
	25 I have been young, and now am old; and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.
	26 He sheweth mercy, and lendeth all the day long; and his seed shall be in blessing.
	27 Decline from evil and do good, and dwell for ever and ever.
	28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints : they shall be preserved for ever. The unjust shall be punished, and the seed of the wicked shall perish.
	29 But the just shall inherit the land, and shall dwell therein for evermore.
	30 The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom : and his tongue shall speak judgment.
	31 The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps shall not be supplanted.
	32 The wicked watcheth the just man, and seeketh to put him to death,
	33 But the Lord will not leave in his hands; nor condemn him when he shall be judged.
	34 Expect the Lord and keep his way : and he will exalt thee to inherit the land : when the sinners shall perish thou shalt see.
	35 I have seen the wicked highly exalted, and lifted up like the cedars of Libanus.
	36 And I passed by, and lo, he was not : and I sought him and his place was not found.
	37 Keep innocence, and behold justice : for there are remnants for the peaceable man.
	38 But the unjust shall be destroyed together : the remnants of the wicked shall perish.
	39 But the salvation of the just is from the Lord, and he is their protector in the time of trouble.
	40 And the Lord will help them and deliver them : and he will rescue them from the wicked, and save them, because they have hoped in him.
