Psalms 94

DOUAI-RHEIMS	BIBBIA RICCIOTTI
1 The Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: the God of revenge hath acted freely.	1 - Laude-cantico di David. Venite, celebriamo esultanti il Signore, giubilanti acclamiamo Iddio, nostra salvezza!
2 Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud.	2 Presentiamoci al suo cospetto con [riconoscente] omaggio, e con inni di giubilo acclamiamolo!
3 How long shall sinners, O Lord: how long shall sinners glory?	3 Perchè un Dio grande è il Signore e gran re su tutti gli dèi.
4 Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: shall all speak who work injustice?	4 In sua mano stanno i confini tutti della terra, e le cime de' monti a lui appartengono.
5 Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: and they have afflicted thy inheritance.	5 Suo è il mare ed egli l'ha fatto, e la [terra] asciutta han fondato le sue mani.
6 They have slain the widow and the stranger: and they have murdered the fatherless.	6 Venite, adoriamo e prostriamoci, e piangiamo davanti al Signore che ci ha creati.
7 And they have said: The Lord shall not see: neither shall the God of Jacob understand.	7 Perchè egli è il Signore Iddio nostro, e noi siamo il popolo del suo pascoloe le pecorelle della sua mano.
8 Understand, ye senseless among the people: and, you fools, be wise at last.	8 Oggi, oh se voleste [almeno oggi] ascoltar la sua voce!«Non indurate i vostri cuori come nel [dì dell']offesa, come nel giorno della tentazione nel deserto,
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?	9 dove mi tentarono i vostri padri, mi misero alla prova e videro le mie opere!
10 He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: he that teacheth man knowledge?	10 Per quarant'anni fui disgustato con quella generazione, e dissi: - Sempre costoro son traviati di cuore,
11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, that they are vain.	11 e non conoscon le mie vie! - Sicchè giurai nell'anima mia:- Non entreranno nel mio riposo! -».
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.
