Salmi 94

BIBBIA MARTINI	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Lauda, ovver cantico dello stesso Davidde. Venite, esultiamo nel Signore, cantiam le lodi di Dio Salvator nostro:	1 The Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: the God of revenge hath acted freely.
2 Corriamo a presentarci davanti a lui coll'orazione, e co' salmi celebriamo le sue lodi.	2 Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 Imperocché il Signore è un Dia grande, e un re grande sopra tutti gli Dei.	3 How long shall sinners, O Lord: how long shall sinners glory?
4 Perocché l'ampiezza tutta della terra egli tiene nella sua mano, e a lui gli altissimi monti appartengono.	4 Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: shall all speak who work injustice?
5 Perocché di lui è il mare, ed egli lo fece, e dalle mani di lui fu fondata l'arida terra.	5 Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: and they have afflicted thy inheritance.
6 Venite, adoriamolo, e prostriamoci, e spargiamo lagrime dinanzi al Signore, di cui siamo fattura:	6 They have slain the widow and the stranger: and they have murdered the fatherless.
7 Imperocché egli è il Signore Dio nostro, e noi popolo de' suoi paschi, e pecorelle di suo governo.	7 And they have said: The Lord shall not see: neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
8 Oggi se la voce di lui udirete, non vogliate indurare i vostri cuori;	8 Understand, ye senseless among the people: and, you fools, be wise at last.
9 Come nel luogo dell'altercazione al di della tentazione nel deserto, dove tentaron me i padri vostri, fecer prova di me, e videro le opere mie.	9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?
10 Per quarant'anni fui disgustato altamente con quella generazione, e dissi: Costoro van sempre errando col cuore.	10 He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: he that teacheth man knowledge?
11 Ed eglino non han conosciutele mie vie; ond'io giurai sdegnato: Non entreranno nella mia requie.	11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, that they are vain.
	12 Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: and shalt teach him out of thy law.
	13 That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: till a pit be dug for the wicked.
	14 For the Lord will not cast off his people: neither will he forsake his own inheritance.
	15 Until justice be turned into judgment: and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.
	16 Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity?
	17 Unless the Lord had been my helper, my soul had almost dwelt in hell.
	18 If I said: My foot is moved: thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.
	19 According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, thy comforts have given joy to my soul.
	20 Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, who framest labour in commandment?
	21 They will hunt after the soul of the just, and will condemn innocent blood.
	22 But the Lord is my refuge: and my God the help of my hope.
	23 And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: the Lord our God will destroy them.
