Psalms 64

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBBIA CEI 1974
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. A Canticle of Jeremiah and Ezekiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go into exile.	1 'Salmo. Di Davide. Al maestro del coro.'
2 O God, a hymn adorns you in Zion, and a vow will be repaid to you in Jerusalem.	2 Ascolta, Dio, la voce, del mio lamento, dal terrore del nemico preserva la mia vita.
3 Hear my prayer: all flesh will come to you.	3 Proteggimi dalla congiura degli empi dal tumulto dei malvagi.
4 Words of iniquity have prevailed over us. And you will pardon our impieties.	4 Affilano la loro lingua come spada, scagliano come frecce parole amare
5 Blessed is he whom you have chosen and taken up. He will dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the good things of your house. Holy is your temple:	5 per colpire di nascosto l'innocente; lo colpiscono di sorpresa e non hanno timore.
6 wonderful in equity. Hear us, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of a sea far away.	6 Si ostinano nel fare il male, si accordano per nascondere tranelli; dicono: "Chi li potrà vedere?".
7 You prepare the mountains in your virtue, wrapped with power.	7 Meditano iniquità, attuano le loro trame: un baratro è l'uomo e il suo cuore un abisso.
8 You stir up the depths of the sea, the noise of its waves. The nations will be troubled,	8 Ma Dio li colpisce con le sue frecce: all'improvviso essi sono feriti,
9 and those who dwell at the limits will be afraid, before your signs. You will make the passing of morning and evening enjoyable.	9 la loro stessa lingua li farà cadere; chiunque, al vederli, scuoterà il capo.
10 You have visited the earth, and you have saturated it. You have enriched it in so many ways. The river of God has been filled with water. You have prepared their food. For thus is its preparation.	10 Allora tutti saranno presi da timore, annunzieranno le opere di Dio e capiranno ciò che egli ha fatto.
11 Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; it will spring up and rejoice in its showers.	11 Il giusto gioirà nel Signore e riporrà in lui la sua speranza, i retti di cuore ne trarranno gloria.
12 You will bless the crown of the year with your kindness, and your fields will be filled with abundance.
13 The beauty of the desert will fatten, and the hills will be wrapped with exultation.
14 The rams of the sheep have been clothed, and the valleys will abound with grain. They will cry out; yes, they will even utter a hymn.
