38 — Psalms

1Unto the end, for Idithun himself, a canticle of David.A Idithun, cantico di David.Vnto the end, to Idithun him selfe, a canticle of Dauid.In finem, ipsi Idithun. Canticum David. 2I said: I will take heed to my ways: that I sin not with my tongue. I have set a guard to my mouth, when the sinner stood against me.Io dissi: Starò attento sopra di me per non peccare colla mia lingua. Posi un freno alla mia bocca, allorché veniva in campo contro di me il peccatore.I HAVE said: I wil keepe my waies: that I offend not in my tongue. I haue set a gard to my mouth, when the sinner stood against me.Dixi: Custodiam vias meas: / ut non delinquam in lingua mea. / Posui ori meo custodiam, / cum consisteret peccator adversum me. 3I was dumb, and was humbled, and kept silence from good things: and my sorrow was renewed.Ammutolii, e mi umiliai, e di cose anche buone io non parlai; e il dolor mio rincrudì.I was dumme and humbled, and kept silence from good thinges: and my sorrow was renewed.Obmutui, et humiliatus sum, et silui a bonis; / et dolor meus renovatus est. 4My heart grew hot within me: and in my meditation a fire shall flame out.Si acceso dentro di me il cuor mio, e un fuoco divampò nelle mie considerazioni.My hart waxed hote within me: and in my meditation a fyre shal burne.Concaluit cor meum intra me; / et in meditatione mea exardescet ignis. 5I spoke with my tongue: O Lord, make me know my end. And what is the number of my days: that I may know what is wanting to me.Dissi colla mia lingua: Signore, fammi conoscere il mio fine. E qual sia il numero de' giorni miei, affinchè io sappia quel, che mi avanza.I haue spoken in my tongue: Lord make mine end knowne to me. And the number of my daies what it is: that I may know what is lacking to me.Locutus sum in lingua mea: / Notum fac mihi, Domine, finem meum, / et numerum dierum meorum quis est, / ut sciam quid desit mihi. 6Behold thou hast made my days measurable, and my substance is as nothing before thee. And indeed all things are vanity: every man living.Certo, che a corta misura tu hai ridotto i miei giorni, e la mia sussistenza è come un nulla dinanzi a te. Certamente mera vanità egli è ogni uomo vivente.Behold thou hast put my daies measurable, and my substance is as nothing before thee. Doubtles al things are vanitie, euerie man liuing.Ecce mensurabiles posuisti dies meos, / et substantia mea tamquam nihilum ante te. / Verumtamen universa vanitas, omnis homo vivens. 7Surely man passeth as an image: yea, and he is disquieted in vain. He storeth up: and he knoweth not for whom he shall gather these things.Certamente l'uomo passa come ombra: e di più si conturba senza fondamento. Tesoreggia, e non sa per chi egli metta da parte.Surely man passeth as an image; yea and he is trubled in vayne. He gathereth treasure; and knoweth not to whom he shal gather them.Verumtamen in imagine pertransit homo; / sed et frustra conturbatur: / thesaurizat, et ignorat cui congregabit ea.

8And now what is my hope? is it not the Lord? and my substance is with thee.E adesso la mia espettazione qual è, se non tu, o Signore, in cui è la mia sussistenza.And now what is my expectation? is not our Lord? and my substance is with thee.Et nunc quæ est exspectatio mea: nonne Dominus ? / et substantia mea apud te est. 9Deliver thou me from all my iniquities: thou hast made me a reproach to the fool.Liberami da tutte le mie iniquità: tu mi hai renduto oggetto di scherno allo stolto.From al mine iniquities deliuer me: a reproch to the foolish thou hast geuen me.Ab omnibus iniquitatibus meis erue me: / opprobrium insipienti dedisti me. 10I was dumb, and I opened not my mouth, because thou hast done it.Ammutolii, e non apersi la mia bocca, perché opera tua ell'è questa:I was dumme, and opened not my mouth, because thou didst it:Obmutui, et non aperui os meum, / quoniam tu fecisti; 11Remove thy scourges from me. The strength of thy hand hath made me faint in rebukes:Rimuovi da me i tuoi flagelli.Remoue thy scourges from me.amove a me plagas tuas. 12Thou hast corrected man for iniquity. And thou hast made his soul to waste away like a spider: surely in vain is any man disquieted.Sotto la tua mano forte io venni meno quando mi correggesti: tu per ragion dell'iniquità gastigasti l'uomo. E l'anima di lui facesti, che a guisa di ragno si consumasse: certamente indarno l'uom si conturba.By the strength of thy hand I haue faynted in reprehensions: for iniquitie thou hast chastised man. And thou hast made his soule pyne away as a spider: but vaynly is euerie man trubled.A fortitudine manus tuæ ego defeci in increpationibus: / propter iniquitatem corripuisti hominem. / Et tabescere fecisti sicut araneam animam ejus: / verumtamen vane conturbatur omnis homo. 13Hear my prayer, O Lord, and my supplication: give ear to my tears. Be not silent: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner as all my fathers were.Esaudisci la mia orazione, o Signore, e le mie suppliche: da udienza alle mie lagrime. Non istarti in silenzio, perocché forestiero, e pellegrino son io davanti te, come tutti i padri miei.Heare my prayer ô Lord, and my petition; with thyne eares receiue my teares. Keepe not silence: because I am a stranger with thee, and a pilgrime, as my fathers.Exaudi orationem meam, Domine, et deprecationem meam; / auribus percipe lacrimas meas. / Ne sileas, quoniam advena ego sum apud te, / et peregrinus sicut omnes patres mei. 14O forgive me, that I may be refreshed, before I go hence, and be no more.Fa pausa con me, affinchè io abbia, refrigerio avanti ch'io me ne vada da un luogo, dove più non sarò.Forgeue me, that I may be refreshed before I depart: and shal be no more.Remitte mihi, ut refrigerer / priusquam abeam et amplius non ero.
