34 — Psalms

1For David himself. Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow them that fight against me.Salmo dello stesso Davidde. Giudica, o Signore, coloro, che mi offendono: combatti coloro, che mi combattono.To Dauid himself. IVDGE ô Lord them that hurt me: ouerthrow them that impugne me.Ipsi David. Judica, Domine, nocentes me; / expugna impugnantes me. 2Take hold of arms and shield: and rise up to help me.Prendi l'armi, e lo scudo, e levati a darmi aita.Take armour and shield: and rise vp to helpe me.Apprehende arma et scutum, / et exsurge in adjutorium mihi. 3Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul: I am thy salvation.Tira fuori la spada, e serra la strada a coloro, che mi perseguitano: dì all'anima mia: Io sono la tua salute.Bring forth the sword, and shut vp against them, that perfecute me: say to my soule: I am thy saluation.Effunde frameam, et conclude adversus eos qui persequuntur me; / dic animæ meæ: Salus tua ego sum. 4Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise evil against me.Rimangan confusi, e svergognati tutti coloro, che tendono insidie alla, mia vita. Sian messi in fuga, e in scompiglio quei, che ordiscon del male contro, di me.Let them be counfounded & ashamed, that seeke my soule. Let them be turned backward, and be confounded that thinke euil against meConfundantur et revereantur quærentes animam meam; / avertantur retrorsum et confundantur cogitantes mihi mala. 5Let them become as dust before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.Siano come polvere al soffiar del vento, e l'Angelo del Signore li prema.Be they made as dust before the face of winde; and the angel of our Lord straictning them.Fiant tamquam pulvis ante faciem venti, / et angelus Domini coarctans eos. 6Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.La loro via sia tenebrosa, e sdrucciolevole, e l'Angelo del Signore gli incalzi.Let their way be made darkenesse and slippernes: and the angel of our Lord pursewing them.Fiat via illorum tenebræ et lubricum, / et angelus Domini persequens eos. 7For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: without cause they have upbraided my soul.Perocché senza ragione mi tesero occultamente il loro laccio di morte: ingiustamente caricarono di obbrobrj l'anima mia.Because they haue hid the destruction of their snare for me without cause: in vaine haue they vpbrayded my soule.Quoniam gratis absconderunt mihi interitum laquei sui; supervacue exprobraverunt animam meam.

8Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and into that very snare let them fall.Venga sopra di lui un laccio, a cui egli non pensa, e dalla rete tesa occultamente da lui egli sia preso, e cada nello stesso suo laccio.Let the snare which he knoweth not, come on him; and the net, which he hath hid, catch him: and let him fal into the verie same snare.Veniat illi laqueus quem ignorat, / et captio quam abscondit apprehendat eum, / et in laqueum cadat in ipsum. 9But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.Ma l'anima mia esulterà nel Signore, e si rallegrerà per la salute, che vien da lui.But my soule shal reioyce in our Lord: and shal be delighted vpon his saluation.Anima autem mea exsultabit in Domino, / et delectabitur super salutari suo. 10All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip him.Tutte quante le ossa mie diranno: Signore, che è simile a te? Tu, che liberi il povero dalle mani di quei, che ne possono più di lui, l'abbandonato, e il povero da quelli, che la spogliavano.Al my bones shal say: Lord, who is like to thee Deliuering the needie from the hand of them that are stronger then he: the needie and poore from them that spoile him.Omnia ossa mea dicent: / Domine, quis similis tibi ? / eripiens inopem de manu fortiorum ejus; / egenum et pauperem a diripientibus eum. 11Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.Testimoni iniqui, levatisi su, mi domandavan conto di cose, ch'io ignorava.Vniust witnesses rysing vp, asked me things that I knew not.Surgentes testes iniqui, / quæ ignorabam interrogabant me. 12They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of my soul.Pel bene mi rendevan dei mali: la sterilità all'anima mia.They repayed me euil things for good, sterilitie to my soule.Retribuebant mihi mala pro bonis, / sterilitatem animæ meæ. 13But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.Ma io mentre quelli mi molestavano, mi rivestii di cilizio. Umiliai col digiuno l'anima mia, e nel mio seno si aggirava la mia orazione.But I when they were trublesome to me, did put on cloth of heare. I humbled my soule in fasting: and my prayer shal be turned into my bosome.Ego autem, cum mihi molesti essent, induebar cilicio; / humiliabam in jejunio animam meam, / et oratio mea in sinu meo convertetur.

14As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.Quasi parente, e quasi fratello lo trattai con amore: mi umiliai come uno, che è in duolo, e in tristezza.As a neighbour, as our brother, so did I please: as mourning and sorowful so was I humbled.Quasi proximum et quasi fratrem nostrum sic complacebam; / quasi lugens et contristatus sic humiliabar. 15But they rejoiced against me, and came together: scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.Ed essi eran lieti, e si adunaron contro di me: furon messi insieme flagelli contro di me, e io non li conosceva.And they reioyced against me, and came together: scourges were gathered together vpon me, and I was ignorant.Et adversum me lætati sunt, et convenerunt; / congregata sunt super me flagella, et ignoravi. 16They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth.Vennero in discordia, ma non si compunsero: mi tentarono, mi insultarono grandemente, digrignavano i denti contro di me.They were dissipated, and not compunct, they tempted me, they scorned me with scorning: they gnashed vpon me with their teeth.Dissipati sunt, nec compuncti; / tentaverunt me, subsannaverunt me subsannatione; / frenduerunt super me dentibus suis. 17Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou my soul from their malice: my only one from the lions.Signore, quando porrai tu mente? Sottraggi l'anima mia dalla malignità di costoro, dai leoni l'unica mia.Lord when wilt thou regard? restore thou my soule from their malignitie, myne only one from the lions.Domine, quando respicies ? / Restitue animam meam a malignitate eorum; / a leonibus unicam meam. 18I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.Te io confesserò in una Chiesa grande; in mezzo a un popolo numerosa ti loderò.I wil confesse to thee in the great Church, in a graue people I wil prayse thee.Confitebor tibi in ecclesia magna; in populo gravi laudabo te. 19Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.Non abbiano da goder del mio male quelli, che ingiustamente mi sono avversi; quelli, che mi odiano senza cagione, e ammiccan cogli occhi.Let them not reioyce ouer me that are my aduersaries vniustly: that hate me without cause, and twinckle with the eies.Non supergaudeant mihi qui adversantur mihi inique, / qui oderunt me gratis, et annuunt oculis. 20For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.Imperocché meco parlavan parole di pace; ma nella commozion della terra meditavano inganni.Because they spake in deede peaceably to me: and in the anger of the earth speaking they meant guiles.Quoniam mihi quidem pacifice loquebantur; / et in iracundia terræ loquentes, dolos cogitabant.

21And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said: Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.Dilatarono la loro bocca contro di me; dissero: Bene sta, bene sta, i nostri occhi han veduto.And they opened their mouth awide vpon me: they said; Wel, wel, our eies haue seene.Et dilataverunt super me os suum; / dixerunt: Euge, euge ! viderunt oculi nostri. 22Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: O Lord, depart not from me.Tu hai veduto, o Signore, non restare in silenzio: Signore, non ritirarti da me.Thou hast sene ô Lord, keepe not silence: Lord depart not from me.Vidisti, Domine: ne sileas; / Domine, ne discedas a me. 23Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: to my cause, my God, and my Lord.Levati su, e abbi a cuore il mio giudizio; la mia causa, Dio mio e Signor mio.Arise and attend to my iudgement: my God, and my Lord vnto my cause.Exsurge et intende judicio meo, Deus meus; / et Dominus meus, in causam meam. 24Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, and let them not rejoice over me.Giudicami secondo la tua giustizia, o Signore Dio mio, e coloro di me non trionfino.Iudge me according to thy iustice ô Lord my God, and let them not reioyce ouer meJudica me secundum justitiam tuam, Domine Deus meus, / et non supergaudeant mihi. 25Let them not say in their hearts: It is well, it is well, to our mind: neither let them say: We have swallowed him up.Non dicano ne' loro cuori: Bene sta, buon per noi: e non dicano: Lo abbiam divorato.Let them not say in their hartes: Wel, wel, to our soule: neitheir let them say: We haue deuoured him.Non dicant in cordibus suis: Euge, euge, animæ nostræ; / nec dicant: Devoravimus eum. 26Let them blush: and be ashamed together, who rejoice at my evils. Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great things against me.Siano tutti insieme confusi, e svergognati quelli, che si rallegrano de' miei mali. Siano vestiti di confusione, e di rossore coloro, che parlan superbamente, contro di me.Let them blush and be ashamed together, that reioyce at my euils. Let them be clothed with confusion and shame; that speake great things vpon me.Erubescant et revereantur simul qui gratulantur malis meis; / induantur confusione et reverentia qui magna loquuntur super me. 27Let them rejoice and be glad, who are well pleased with my justice, and let them say always: The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant.Esultino, e si rallegrino quei che favoriscono la mia giustizia; e dicano sempre: Sia magnificato il Signore, quei, che la pace desiderano del servo di lui.Let them reioyce and be glad, that wil my iustice: and let them say alwayes: Our Lord be magnified, that wil the peace of his seruant.Exsultent et lætentur qui volunt justitiam meam; / et dicant semper: Magnificetur Dominus, qui volunt pacem servi ejus.

28And my tongue shall meditate thy justice, thy praise all the day long.E la mia lingua mediterà la tua giustizia: le lodi tue tutto il giorno.And my tongue shal meditate thy iustice, thy prayse al the day.Et lingua mea meditabitur justitiam tuam; / tota die laudem tuam.
