1Unto the end, in verses, understanding for David.Sopra i cantici, salmo di intelligenza, di Davidde.Vnto the end, in songes, vnderstanding to Dauid.In finem, in carminibus. Intellectus David. 2Hear, O God, my prayer, and despise not my supplication:Esaudisci, o Dio, la mia orazione, e non disprezzare le mie suppliche:HEARE my prayer ô God, despise not my petition.Exaudi, Deus, orationem meam, / et ne despexeris deprecationem meam: 3Be attentive to me and hear me. I am grieved in my exercise; and am troubled,volgi a me il tuo sguardo, ed esaudiscimi. Mi son rattristato nella mia meditazione, e son rimaso conturbato alle,Attend to me; and heare me. I am made sorowful in my exercise:intende mihi, et exaudi me. / Contristatus sum in exercitatione mea, / et conturbatus sum 4At the voice of the enemy, and at the tribulation of the sinner. For they have cast iniquities upon me: and in wrath they were troublesome to me.voci dell'inimico, e per la persecuzione, del peccatore. Imperocché mi hanno gettate addosso delle iniquità, e mi contrariano con isdegno.and am trubled at the voice of the enimie: and at the tribulation of the sinner. Because they haue wrested iniquities vpon me: & in anger they were trublesome to me.a voce inimici, et a tribulatione peccatoris. / Quoniam declinaverunt in me iniquitates, / et in ira molesti erant mihi. 5My heart is troubled within me: and the fear of death is fallen upon me.Il mio cuore mi trema nel petto, e un terrore di morte è caduto sopra di me.My hart is trubled in me: and the feare of death is falne vpon me.Cor meum conturbatum est in me, / et formido mortis cecidit super me. 6Fear and trembling are come upon me: and darkness hath covered me.Il timore, e il tremore mi han sorpreso, e nelle tenebre sono involto:Feare and trembling are come vpon me: and darkenes hath couered me.Timor et tremor venerunt super me, / et contexerunt me tenebræ. 7And I said: Who will give me wings like a dove, and I will fly and be at rest?E ho detto: Chi mi darà ali come di colomba, e volerò, e avrò riposo?And I said: Who wil geue me wings as of a doue, and I wil fly: and rest?Et dixi: Quis dabit mihi pennas sicut columbæ, / et volabo, et requiescam ? 8Lo, I have gone far off flying away; and I abode in the wilderness.Ecco, che io fuggirei lontano, e mi terrei nella solitudine.Loe I haue gone far flying away: and I abode in the wildernes.Ecce elongavi fugiens, / et mansi in solitudine. 9I waited for him that hath saved me from pusillanimity of spirit, and a storm.Aspetto lui, che mi salvò dall'abbattimento di spirito, e dalle procelle.I expected him, that saued me from pusillanimitie of spirit, and tempest.Exspectabam eum qui salvum me fecit / a pusillanimitate spiritus, et tempestate.

10Cast down, O Lord, and divide their tongues; for I have seen iniquity and contradiction in the city.Disperdigli, o Signore, confondi le loro lingue, perché io ho veduta l'ingiustizia, e la contraddizione nella città.Precipitate ô Lord, and diuide their tongues: because I haue sene iniquitie, and contradiction in the citie.Præcipita, Domine; divide linguas eorum: / quoniam vidi iniquitatem et contradictionem in civitate. 11Day and night shall iniquity surround it upon its walls: and in the midst thereof are labour,Dì, e notte va attorno sopra le mura di lei l'iniquità, e nel mezzo di essa la vessazione,Day and night shal iniquitie compasse it vpon the walles therof; and labour in the middest therof, and iniustice.Die ac nocte circumdabit eam super muros ejus iniquitas; / et labor in medio ejus, 12And injustice. And usury and deceit have not departed from its streets.e l'ingiustizia. E non si parte dalle piazze di lei l'usura, e la frode.And there hath not ceased out of the streetes therof vsurie, and guile.et injustitia: / et non defecit de plateis ejus usura et dolus. 13For if my enemy had reviled me, I would verily have borne with it. And if he that hated me had spoken great things against me, I would perhaps have hidden my self from him.Che se un mio nemico avesse parlato male di me, certamente avrei pazientato. E se uno di que', che mi odiavano avesse detto improperj grandi contro di me, avrei forse potuto guardarmi da lui.For if myne enimie had spoken euil to me, I would verely haue borne it. And if he that hated me had spoken great thinges vpon me: I would perhaps haue hid myselfe from him.Quoniam si inimicus meus maledixisset mihi, / sustinuissem utique. / Et si is qui oderat me super me magna locutus fuisset, / abscondissem me forsitan ab eo. 14But thou a man of one mind, my guide, and my familiar,Ma tu, o uomo, di un solo spirito con me, mio soprintendente, e mio familiare.But thou a man of the same minde: my guide, and my familiar.Tu vero homo unanimis, / dux meus, et notus meus: 15Who didst take sweetmeats together with me: in the house of God we walked with consent.Tu, che insieme meco prendevi il dolce cibo, camminammo d'accordo nella casa di Dio.Which diddest take swete meats together with me, in the house of God we walked with consent.qui simul mecum dulces capiebas cibos; / in domo Dei ambulavimus cum consensu. 16Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into hell. For there is wickedness in their dwellings: in the midst of them.Venga sopra costoro la morte, e vivi scendano nell'inferno: Perocché ogni malvagità è nei loro ridotti, e ne' cuori loro.Let death come vpon them: and let them goe downe quicke into hel. Because there is wickednes in their habitations, in the middes of them.Veniat mors super illos, / et descendant in infernum viventes: / quoniam nequitiæ in habitaculis eorum, in medio eorum.

17But I have cried to God: and the Lord will save me.Ma io alzai a Dio le mie grida, e il Signore mi salverà.But I haue cried to God, and our Lord wil saue me.Ego autem ad Deum clamavi, / et Dominus salvabit me. 18Evening and morning, and at noon I will speak and declare: and he shall hear my voice.Alla sera, e al mattino, e al mezzodì parlerò, e gemerò, ed egli esaudirà la mia voce.In the euening, and morning, & at midday, I wil speake, and declare, and he wil heare my voice.Vespere, et mane, et meridie, narrabo, et annuntiabo; / et exaudiet vocem meam. 19He shall redeem my soul in peace from them that draw near to me: for among many they were with me.Renderà la pace all'anima mia, liberandola da coloro, che mi assaliscono; perocché sono in compagnia di molti contro di me.He wil redeme my soule in peace from them, that approch to me: because among manie they were with me.Redimet in pace animam meam ab his qui appropinquant mihi: / quoniam inter multos erant mecum. 20God shall hear, and the Eternal shall humble them. For there is no change with them, and they have not feared God:Dio mi esaudirà, e umilierà costoro quegli, che è prima de' secoli; Perocché eglino non si cangiano, e non hanno timore di Dio:God wil heare, and he which is before the worldes wil humble them. For there is no change with them, & they feared not God:Exaudiet Deus, et humiliabit illos, / qui est ante sæcula. / Non enim est illis commutatio, / et non timuerunt Deum. 21He hath stretched forth his hand to repay. They have defiled his covenant,egli ha stesa la mano per dare ad essi la retribuzione. Han profanato il testamento di lui:he hath streached forth his hand in repaying.Extendit manum suam in retribuendo; / contaminaverunt testamentum ejus: 22They are divided by the wrath of his countenance, and his heart hath drawn near. His words are smoother than oil, and the same are darts.saran dispersi dall'ira della sua faccia, e il cuore di lui già prende la pugna. Le parole di lui sono più molli dell'olio, e pur sono saette.They haue contaminated his testament, they are diuided by the wrath of his countenance; and his hart hath approched. His wordes are made softer then oile: and the same are dartes.divisi sunt ab ira vultus ejus, / et appropinquavit cor illius. / Molliti sunt sermones ejus super oleum; / et ipsi sunt jacula. 23Cast thy care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall not suffer the just to waver for ever.Getta nel seno del Signore la tua ansietà, ed egli ti sostenterà: ei non farà, che il giusto ondeggi per sempre.Cast thy care vpon our Lord: and he wil nourish thee: he wil not geue fluctuation to the iust for euer.Jacta super Dominum curam tuam, et ipse te enutriet; / non dabit in æternum fluctuationem justo.

24But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee, O Lord.Ma tu, o Dio, condurrai coloro nella fossa di perdizione. I sanguinari, e i fraudolenti non avran la metà de' loro giorni; ma io in te spererò, o Signore.But thou ô God wilt bring them downe into the pitte of destruction. Bloudy and deceitful men shal not liue halfe their daies, but I wil hope in thee ô Lord.Tu vero, Deus, deduces eos in puteum interitus. / Viri sanguinum et dolosi non dimidiabunt dies suos; / ego autem sperabo in te, Domine.
