Psalms 16

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LA SACRA BIBBIA
1 A Prayer of David. Lord, listen to my justice, attend to my supplication. Pay attention to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.	1 Inno. Di Davide. Custodiscimi, o Dio: in te mi rifugio.
2 Let my judgment proceed from your presence. Let your eyes behold fairness.	2 Ho detto al Signore: "Il mio Signore sei tu, al di sopra di te non ho alcun bene".
3 You have tested my heart and visited it by night. You have examined me by fire, and iniquity has not been found in me.	3 Per i santi che sono sulla terra sta tutto il suo zelo; Egli rende mirabile in essi tutto il suo favore.
4 Therefore, may my mouth not speak the works of men. I have kept to difficult ways because of the words of your lips.	4 Moltiplicano i loro affanni quanti si affrettano verso un dio straniero. Io non verserò le loro libagioni di sangue, né i loro nomi porterò sulle mie labbra.
5 Perfect my steps in your paths, so that my footsteps may not be disturbed.	5 Signore, sorte della mia eredità e mia coppa, tu tieni saldo nelle tue mani il mio destino;
6 I have cried out because you, O God, have listened to me. Incline your ear to me and heed my words.	6 le corde sono cadute per me in terreno ubertoso, la mia eredità mi piace davvero!
7 Make your mercies wonderful, for you save those who hope in you.	7 Benedirò il Signore che mi ha dato consiglio, anche di notte mi ammoniscono i miei reni.
8 From those who resist your right hand, preserve me like the pupil of your eye. Protect me under the shadow of your wings,	8 Il Signore sta sempre dinanzi ai miei occhi: se sta alla mia destra, non vacillerò.
9 from the face of the impious who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul.	9 Per questo è lieto il mio cuore e gioisce il mio intimo, perfino la mia carne riposa al sicuro.
10 They have concealed their fatness; their mouth has been speaking arrogantly.	10 Sì, non consegnerai la mia anima in preda agli inferi, non permetterai al tuo fedele di scendere nella tomba.
11 They have cast me out, and now they have surrounded me. They have cast their eyes down to the earth.	11 Mi farai conoscere la via della vita: gioia in abbondanza alla tua presenza, delizia alla tua destra senza fine.
12 They have taken me, like a lion ready for the prey, and like a young lion dwelling in hiding.
13 Rise up, O Lord, arrive before him and displace him. Deliver my soul from the impious one: your spear from the enemies of your hand.
14 Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life. Their gut has been filled from your hidden stores. They have been filled with sons, and they have bequeathed to their little ones the remainder.
15 But as for me, I will appear before your sight in justice. I will be satisfied when your glory appears.
