1Al direttore del coro. Sopra «i gigli». Di Davide. Salvami, o Dio, perché le acque mi sono penetrate fino all’anima.2Sprofondo in un pantano senza trovare sostegno; sono scivolato in acque profonde e la corrente mi travolge.3Sono stanco di gridare, la mia gola è riarsa; i miei occhi si spengono nell’attesa del mio Dio.4Più numerosi dei capelli del mio capo sono quelli che mi odiano senza ragione[1]; sono potenti quelli che vogliono distruggermi e che a torto mi sono nemici; ho dovuto consegnare ciò che non avevo rubato.5O Dio, tu conosci la mia stoltezza, e le mie colpe non ti sono nascoste.6Non siano confusi, per causa mia, quelli che sperano in te, o Signore, Dio degli eserciti! Non siano coperti di vergogna per causa mia, quelli che ti cercano, o Dio d’Israele!7Per amor tuo io sopporto gli insulti, la vergogna mi copre la faccia.8Sono un estraneo per i miei fratelli, un forestiero per i figli di mia madre.9Poiché mi divora lo zelo per la tua casa[2], gli insulti di chi ti oltraggia sono caduti su di me.10Ho pianto, ho afflitto l’anima mia con il digiuno, ma ciò mi ha causato disonore.11Ho indossato come vestito il cilicio, ma essi ridono di me.12Le persone sedute alla porta sparlano di me, sono divenuto lo zimbello degli ubriaconi.13Ma io rivolgo a te la mia preghiera, o Signore, nel momento favorevole! Per la tua grande misericordia, rispondimi, o Dio, assicurandomi la tua salvezza.14Salvami dal pantano, perché io non affondi! Liberami da chi mi odia e dalle acque profonde.15Non mi sommerga la corrente delle acque, non m’inghiottisca il vortice, non chiuda il pozzo la sua bocca su di me!16Rispondimi, Signore, perché la tua grazia è benefica; vòlgiti a me nella tua grande misericordia.17Non nascondere il tuo volto al tuo servo, perché sono in pericolo; affrèttati a rispondermi.18Avvicìnati all’anima mia, e riscattala; liberami a causa dei miei nemici.19Tu conosci la mia vergogna, il mio disonore e la mia infamia; davanti a te sono tutti i miei nemici.20L’oltraggio m’ha spezzato il cuore e sono tutto dolente; ho aspettato chi mi confortasse, ma invano; ho atteso dei consolatori, ma non ne ho trovati.21Hanno messo fiele nel mio cibo e mi hanno dato da bere aceto per dissetarmi.22La loro tavola imbandita sia per essi come una trappola, un tranello quando si credono al sicuro!23Gli occhi loro si offuschino e più non vedano; indebolisci per sempre i loro fianchi.24Riversa su di loro il tuo furore, li raggiunga l’ardore della tua ira.25Sia desolata la loro dimora, nessuno abiti le loro tende,26poiché perseguitano colui che hai percosso e godono a raccontarsi i dolori di chi hai ferito.27Aggiungi questo peccato ai loro peccati e non abbiano parte alcuna nella tua giustizia.28Siano cancellati dal libro della vita e non siano iscritti fra i giusti.29Io sono misero e afflitto; il tuo soccorso, o Dio, mi porti in salvo.30Celebrerò il nome di Dio con un canto, lo esalterò con le mie lodi,31che il Signore gradirà più dei buoi, più dei tori con corna e unghie.32Gli umili lo vedranno e gioiranno; o voi che cercate Dio, fatevi animo,33poiché il Signore ascolta i bisognosi e non disprezza i suoi prigionieri.34Lo lodino i cieli e la terra, i mari e tutto ciò che si muove in essi!35Poiché Dio salverà Sion, e ricostruirà le città di Giuda; il suo popolo abiterà in Sion e la possederà.36Anche la discendenza dei suoi servi l’avrà in eredità, e quanti amano il suo nome vi abiteranno.
1Dem Chorleiter. Nach Schoschannim[1]. Von David. (Sal 45,1)2Rette mich, Gott, denn Wasser ist bis an die Seele[2] gekommen.3Ich bin versunken in tiefen Schlamm, und kein fester Grund ist da; in Wassertiefen bin ich gekommen, und die Flut schwemmt mich fort. (Sal 40,3; Sal 88,7)4Ich bin müde von meinem Rufen, entzündet ist meine Kehle; meine Augen vergehen vom Harren[3] auf meinen Gott. (Sal 6,7; Eb 5,7)5Mehr als die Haare meines Hauptes sind die, die mich ohne Ursache hassen; mächtig sind, die mich vernichten[4] wollen, meine Feinde ⟨sind sie⟩ ohne Grund; was ich nicht geraubt habe, das soll ich dann erstatten. (Sal 35,19)6Du, Gott, hast meine Torheit erkannt, und meine Verschuldungen sind dir nicht verborgen.7Lass nicht durch mich beschämt werden, die auf dich hoffen, Herr, HERR der Heerscharen! Lass nicht an mir zuschanden werden, die dich suchen, Gott Israels!8Denn deinetwegen trage ich Hohn, hat Schande bedeckt mein Gesicht. (Sal 89,51; Is 50,6; Ger 15,15; Mat 26,67; Mar 15,32)9Entfremdet bin ich meinen Brüdern und ein Fremder geworden den Söhnen meiner Mutter. (Sal 38,12; Giov 7,5)10Denn der Eifer um dein Haus hat mich verzehrt, und die Schmähungen derer, die dich schmähen, sind auf mich gefallen. (Sal 119,139; Giov 2,17; Ro 15,3)11Als ich weinte ⟨und⟩ meine Seele fastete, da[5] wurde es mir zu Schmähungen. (Sal 109,24)12Als ich mich in Sacktuch kleidete, da wurde ich ihnen zum Sprichwort. (Sal 35,13; Ger 20,7)13Die im Tor sitzen, reden über mich, und ⟨auch⟩ die Spottlieder der Zecher[6]. (Lam 3,63)14Ich aber ⟨richte⟩ mein Gebet an dich, HERR, zur Zeit des Wohlgefallens. Gott, nach der Größe deiner Gnade, erhöre mich durch die Treue deines Heils[7]! (Sal 86,5; Gion 2,8; 2Co 6,2)15Ziehe mich heraus aus dem Schlamm, dass ich nicht versinke! Lass mich gerettet werden von denen, die mich hassen, und aus den Wassertiefen!16Lass die Flut des Wassers mich nicht fortschwemmen und die Tiefe mich nicht verschlingen; und lass die Grube ihren Mund nicht über mir verschließen!17Erhöre mich, HERR, denn gut ist deine Gnade; wende dich zu mir nach der Größe deiner Erbarmungen! (Lam 3,22)18Und verbirg dein Angesicht nicht vor deinem Knecht, denn mir ist angst; erhöre mich eilends! (Sal 22,20; Sal 27,9; Sal 143,7)19Nahe dich meiner Seele, erlöse sie; wegen meiner Feinde befreie mich[8]! (Sal 5,9)20Du, du hast meine Schmähung erkannt und meine Schmach und meine Schande; vor dir sind alle meine Bedränger. (Mat 27,29; Eb 12,2)21Der Hohn hat mein Herz gebrochen, und ⟨es⟩ ist unheilbar[9]; und ich habe auf Mitleid gewartet – aber ⟨da war⟩ keins; und auf Tröster, aber ich habe keine gefunden. (Lam 1,2; Mat 26,40; Mat 27,41; Giov 16,32)22Und sie gaben mir zur Speise[10] Gift[11], und in meinem Durst tränkten sie mich mit Essig. (Mat 27,47)23Es werde ihr Tisch vor ihnen zur Falle und den Sorglosen zum Fallstrick!24Lass dunkel werden ihre Augen, dass sie nicht sehen; und lass beständig ihre Hüften wanken! (Ro 11,9)25Schütte über sie aus deine Verwünschung, und deines Zornes Glut soll sie erreichen!26Verödet sei ihr Lagerplatz, in ihren Zelten sei kein Bewohner! (Mat 23,38; At 1,20)27Denn den du geschlagen hast, haben sie verfolgt[12], und vom Schmerz deiner Verwundeten erzählen sie. (Is 53,4)28Füge Schuld zu ihrer Schuld, und lass sie nicht hineinkommen in deine Gerechtigkeit!29Sie sollen ausgelöscht werden aus dem Buch des Lebens und nicht eingeschrieben werden mit den Gerechten! (Ap 3,5)30Ich aber bin elend, und mir ist wehe; deine Rettung, Gott, schütze mich[13]!31Loben will ich den Namen Gottes im Lied und ihn erhöhen mit Dank. (Sal 7,18)32Denn es wird dem HERRN wohlgefälliger sein als ein Stier, ein Opferstier mit Hörnern und[14] gespaltenen Hufen. (Sal 50,13)33Die Sanftmütigen haben es gesehen, sie werden sich freuen; die ihr Gott sucht, euer Herz soll leben! (Sal 22,27; Sal 34,3)34Denn der HERR hört auf die Armen, und seine Gefangenen verachtet er nicht. (Sal 102,18)35Ihn sollen loben Himmel und Erde, die Meere, und alles, was in ihnen wimmelt! (Sal 145,10; Sal 148,4; Is 44,23)36Denn Gott wird Zion retten und die Städte Judas bauen; und sie werden dort wohnen und es besitzen. (Is 44,26)37Die Nachkommen seiner Knechte werden es erben; und die seinen Namen lieben, werden darin wohnen. (Sal 5,12; Sal 102,29; Is 65,9)
1To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. Of David. Save me, O God! For the waters have come up to my neck.[1] (Giob 22,11; Sal 32,6; Sal 45,1; Sal 69,14; Sal 130,1)2I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me. (Sal 40,2; Sal 69,14; Sal 124,4)3I am weary with my crying out; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God. (De 28,32; Sal 6,6; Sal 22,15; Sal 31,24; Sal 119,82; Sal 119,123; Is 38,14)4More in number than the hairs of my head are those who hate me without cause; mighty are those who would destroy me, those who attack me with lies. What I did not steal must I now restore? (Sal 35,7; Sal 35,19; Sal 38,19; Sal 40,12; Sal 59,3; Sal 109,3; Sal 119,161; Giov 15,25)5O God, you know my folly; the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.6Let not those who hope in you be put to shame through me, O Lord God of hosts; let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel. (Sal 25,2)7For it is for your sake that I have borne reproach, that dishonor has covered my face. (Sal 44,22; Ger 15,15)8I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother’s sons. (Giob 19,13; Sal 31,11; Sal 38,11; Giov 1,11)9For zeal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me. (Sal 89,41; Sal 89,50; Sal 119,139; Sal 132,1; Giov 2,17; Ro 15,3)10When I wept and humbled[2] my soul with fasting, it became my reproach.11When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them. (Giob 17,6; Sal 35,13)12I am the talk of those who sit in the gate, and the drunkards make songs about me. (Gen 19,1; Est 2,19; Giob 30,9)13But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness. (Sal 32,6; Sal 109,4; Is 49,8; 2Co 6,2)14Deliver me from sinking in the mire; let me be delivered from my enemies and from the deep waters. (Sal 69,1; Sal 69,2; Sal 144,7)15Let not the flood sweep over me, or the deep swallow me up, or the pit close its mouth over me. (Nu 16,33; Sal 55,23)16Answer me, O Lord, for your steadfast love is good; according to your abundant mercy, turn to me. (Sal 25,16; Sal 63,3; Sal 106,45; Sal 109,21)17Hide not your face from your servant, for I am in distress; make haste to answer me. (Sal 18,6; Sal 27,9; Sal 102,2; Sal 143,7)18Draw near to my soul, redeem me; ransom me because of my enemies!19You know my reproach, and my shame and my dishonor; my foes are all known to you. (Sal 22,6; Sal 69,10; Eb 12,2)20Reproaches have broken my heart, so that I am in despair. I looked for pity, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none. (Giob 16,2; Sal 69,19; Sal 142,4; Is 63,5; Ger 15,5; Mat 26,37)21They gave me poison for food, and for my thirst they gave me sour wine to drink. (De 29,18; Mat 27,34; Mat 27,48; Mar 15,23; Lu 23,36; Giov 19,29)22Let their own table before them become a snare; and when they are at peace, let it become a trap.[3] (Sal 23,5; Sal 35,4; Sal 109,6; Ro 11,9; 1Te 5,3)23Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see, and make their loins tremble continually. (Is 6,10; Da 5,6; Na 2,10; Mat 13,14)24Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your burning anger overtake them.25May their camp be a desolation; let no one dwell in their tents. (Mat 23,38; Lu 13,35; At 1,20)26For they persecute him whom you have struck down, and they recount the pain of those you have wounded. (Giob 19,21; Is 53,4; Zac 1,15)27Add to them punishment upon punishment; may they have no acquittal from you.[4] (Ne 4,5)28Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; let them not be enrolled among the righteous. (Eso 32,32; Ez 13,9; Lu 10,20; Fili 4,3; Eb 12,23; Ap 3,5)29But I am afflicted and in pain; let your salvation, O God, set me on high! (Sal 20,1)30I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving. (Sal 28,7; Sal 34,3; Sal 50,14; Sal 50,23)31This will please the Lord more than an ox or a bull with horns and hoofs. (Le 11,3; Sal 50,13)32When the humble see it they will be glad; you who seek God, let your hearts revive. (Sal 22,26; Sal 34,2)33For the Lord hears the needy and does not despise his own people who are prisoners. (Sal 68,6)34Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves in them. (Sal 96,11; Sal 98,7; Sal 148,1; Is 44,23; Is 49,13)35For God will save Zion and build up the cities of Judah, and people shall dwell there and possess it; (Sal 51,18; Is 44,26)36the offspring of his servants shall inherit it, and those who love his name shall dwell in it. (Sal 37,29; Sal 102,28; Is 65,9)
Salmo 69
King James Version
1To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, A Psalm of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.2I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.3I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.4They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.5O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.6Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.7Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.8I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother' children.9For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.10When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.11I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.12They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.13But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.14Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.15Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.16Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.17And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.18Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.19Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.20Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.21They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.22Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.23Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.24Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.25Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.26For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.27Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.28Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.29But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.30I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.31This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.32The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.33For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.34Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.35For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.36The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
