Psalms 76

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBBIA CEI 1974
1 Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.	1 'Al maestro del coro. Su strumenti a corda con cetre. Salmo.' 'Di Asaf. Canto.'
2 I cried out to the Lord with my voice, to God with my voice, and he attended to me.	2 Dio è conosciuto in Giuda, in Israele è grande il suo nome.
3 In the days of my tribulation, I sought God, with my hands opposite him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be consoled.	3 È in Gerusalemme la sua dimora, la sua abitazione, in Sion.
4 I was mindful of God, and I was delighted, and I was distressed, and my spirit fell away.	4 Qui spezzò le saette dell'arco, lo scudo, la spada, la guerra.
5 My eyes anticipated the vigils. I was disturbed, and I did not speak.	5 Splendido tu sei, o Potente, sui monti della preda;
6 I considered the days of antiquity, and I held the years of eternity in my mind.	6 furono spogliati i valorosi, furono colti dal sonno, nessun prode ritrovava la sua mano.
7 And I meditated in the night with my heart, and I was distressed, and I examined my spirit.	7 Dio di Giacobbe, alla tua minaccia, si arrestarono carri e cavalli.
8 So then, will God reject for eternity? Will he not continue to allow himself to show favor?	8 Tu sei terribile; chi ti resiste quando si scatena la tua ira?
9 Or, will he cut off his mercy in the end, from generation to generation?	9 Dal cielo fai udire la sentenza: sbigottita la terra tace
10 And would God ever forget to be merciful? Or, would he, in his wrath, restrict his mercies?	10 quando Dio si alza per giudicare, per salvare tutti gli umili della terra.
11 And I said, “Now I have begun. This change is from the right hand of the Most High.”	11 L'uomo colpito dal tuo furore ti dà gloria, gli scampati dall'ira ti fanno festa.
12 I was mindful of the works of the Lord. For I will be mindful from the beginning of your wonders,	12 Fate voti al Signore vostro Dio e adempiteli, quanti lo circondano portino doni al Terribile,
13 and I will meditate on all your works. And I will take part in your intentions.	13 a lui che toglie il respiro ai potenti; è terribile per i re della terra.
14 Your way, O God, is in what is holy. Which God is great like our God?
15 You are the God who performs miracles. You have made your virtue known among the peoples.
16 With your arm, you have redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and of Joseph.
17 The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you, and they were afraid, and the depths were stirred up.
18 Great was the sound of the waters. The clouds uttered a voice. For your arrows also pass by.
19 The voice of your thunder is like a wheel. Your flashes have illuminated the whole world. The earth has quaked and trembled.
20 Your way is through the sea, and your paths are through many waters. And your traces will not be known.
21 You have conducted your people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
