1In te confido, o Signore, fa’ che io non sia mai confuso.2Per la tua giustizia, liberami, mettimi al sicuro! Porgi a me il tuo orecchio, e salvami!3Sii per me una rocca in cui trovo scampo, una fortezza dove io possa sempre rifugiarmi! Tu hai dato ordine di salvarmi, perché sei il mio baluardo e la mia fortezza.4Mio Dio, liberami dalla mano dell’empio, dalla mano del perverso e del violento!5Poiché tu sei la mia speranza, Signore, Dio; sei la mia fiducia sin dalla mia infanzia.6Tu sei stato il mio sostegno fin dal grembo materno, tu m’hai tratto dal grembo di mia madre; a te va sempre la mia lode.7Io sono per molti come un prodigio: tu sei il mio rifugio sicuro.8Sia la mia bocca piena della tua lode, ed esalti ogni giorno la tua gloria!9Non respingermi nel tempo della vecchiaia, non abbandonarmi quando le mie forze declinano.10Perché i miei nemici sparlano di me, e quelli che spiano l’anima mia tramano insieme,11dicendo: «Dio l’ha abbandonato; inseguitelo e prendetelo, perché non c’è nessuno che lo liberi».12O Dio, non allontanarti da me; mio Dio, affrèttati a soccorrermi!13Siano confusi, siano annientati gli avversari dell’anima mia, siano coperti di vergogna e disonore quelli che desiderano il mio male!14Ma io spererò sempre, e a tutte le tue lodi ne aggiungerò altre.15La mia bocca racconterà ogni giorno la tua giustizia e le tue liberazioni, perché sono innumerevoli.16Proclamerò i prodigi del Signore Dio, ricercherò la tua giustizia, la tua soltanto.17O Dio, tu mi hai istruito sin dalla mia infanzia, e io, fino a oggi, ho annunciato le tue meraviglie.18E ora che sono giunto alla vecchiaia e alla canizie, o Dio, non abbandonarmi, finché non abbia raccontato i prodigi del tuo braccio a questa generazione e la tua potenza a quelli che verranno.19Anche la tua giustizia, Dio, è eccelsa; e tu hai fatto cose grandi; o Dio, chi è simile a te?20Tu, che ci hai fatto vedere molte e gravi difficoltà, ci darai di nuovo la vita e ci farai risalire dagli abissi della terra;21tu accrescerai la mia grandezza e ritornerai a consolarmi.22Allora ti celebrerò con il saltèrio, celebrerò la tua verità, o mio Dio! A te salmeggerò con la cetra, o Santo d’Israele!23Le mie labbra esulteranno, quando salmeggerò a te, e così l’anima mia, che tu hai riscattata.24Anche la mia lingua parlerà tutto il giorno della tua giustizia, perché sono stati svergognati, sono stati umiliati quelli che desideravano il mio male.
1Bei dir, HERR, habe ich mich geborgen. Lass mich niemals beschämt werden! (Sal 25,2)2In deiner Gerechtigkeit befreie mich[1] und rette mich[2]! Neige dein Ohr zu mir und hilf mir[3]! (Sal 31,2)3Sei mir ein Fels zur Wohnung[4],[5] zu dem ich immer kommen kann! Du hast geboten, mich zu retten[6]. Denn mein Fels und meine Burg bist du. (Sal 18,3; Sal 31,3)4Mein Gott, befreie mich aus der Hand des Gottlosen, aus der Faust des Ungerechten und des Gewalttätigen! (Sal 43,1)5Denn meine Hoffnung bist du[7], Herr; HERR, meine Zuversicht von meiner Jugend an.6Auf dich habe ich mich gestützt vom Mutterschoß an, vom Mutterleib hast du mich entbunden[8]; dir gilt stets mein Lobgesang. (Sal 22,11; Sal 40,4)7Vielen bin ich wie ein Wunder; du aber bist meine starke Zuflucht. (Sal 62,8; Is 8,18; Zac 3,8)8Mein Mund ist voll von deinem Lob, von deinem Ruhm den ganzen Tag.9Verwirf mich nicht zur Zeit des Alters; beim Schwinden meiner Kraft verlass mich nicht!10Denn meine Feinde haben über mich geredet, und die nach meinem Leben trachten, miteinander beratschlagt.11Sie sagen: Gott hat ihn verlassen! Verfolgt und ergreift ihn, denn kein Retter ist da!12Gott, sei nicht fern von mir; mein Gott, eile mir zur Hilfe! (Sal 35,22; Sal 70,2)13Zuschanden werden, vergehen sollen, die meine Seele beschuldigen[9]; in Hohn und Schande sollen sich hüllen, die mein Unglück suchen! (Sal 70,3)14Ich aber will beständig harren und all dein Lob vermehren. (Lam 3,24)15Mein Mund soll erzählen deine Gerechtigkeit, dein Retten den ganzen Tag. Denn ich kenne ⟨ihre⟩ Zahl[10] nicht. (Sal 40,6; Sal 51,16; Sal 145,7)16Ich will kommen mit den Machttaten des Herrn, HERRN. Ich will preisen deine Gerechtigkeit, dich allein. (Is 45,24)17Gott! Du hast mich unterwiesen von meiner Jugend an, und bis hierher verkündige ich deine Wundertaten. (Sal 73,28; 2Ti 3,15)18Und auch bis zum Alter und bis zum Greisentum verlass mich nicht, Gott, bis ich verkündige deinen Arm der ⟨künftigen⟩ Generation, allen, die da kommen werden, deine Macht (Sal 48,14; Sal 78,4)19und deine Gerechtigkeit, Gott, bis zur Höhe, der du große Dinge getan hast, Gott, wer ist wie du? (Sal 35,10; Sal 36,7)20Der du uns viele und unheilvolle Nöte hast sehen lassen, du wirst uns wieder beleben und uns aus den Tiefen[11] der Erde wieder heraufführen. (1Sam 2,6; Sal 60,5; Sal 95,4)21Du wirst meine Größe mehren und dich wenden und mich trösten. (Sal 86,17)22Dann will auch ich dich preisen mit der Harfe, ⟨preisen⟩ deine Treue[12], mein Gott! Ich will dir spielen mit der Zither, du Heiliger Israels! (Sal 43,4; Sal 98,4)23Jubeln sollen meine Lippen, wenn ich dir spiele, und meine Seele, die du erlöst hast. (Sal 34,23)24Auch meine Zunge soll von deiner Gerechtigkeit reden den ganzen Tag; denn beschämt, denn mit Scham sind bedeckt worden, die mein Unglück suchen. // (Sal 70,3; Giac 3,9)
1In you, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame! (Sal 31,1)2In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me, and save me!3Be to me a rock of refuge, to which I may continually come; you have given the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. (De 33,27; Sal 18,2; Sal 42,8; Sal 90,1; Sal 91,9)4Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man. (Sal 140,1; Sal 140,4)5For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O Lord, from my youth. (Ger 14,8; Ger 17,13; Ger 50,7; 1Ti 1,1)6Upon you I have leaned from before my birth; you are he who took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is continually of you. (Sal 22,9; Sal 22,10)7I have been as a portent to many, but you are my strong refuge. (Is 8,18; 1Co 4,9)8My mouth is filled with your praise, and with your glory all the day. (Sal 71,24)9Do not cast me off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spent. (Sal 71,18)10For my enemies speak concerning me; those who watch for my life consult together (Sal 41,7; Sal 56,6; Sal 83,5)11and say, “God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver him.”12O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me! (Sal 10,1; Sal 40,13; Sal 70,5)13May my accusers be put to shame and consumed; with scorn and disgrace may they be covered who seek my hurt. (Est 9,2; Sal 35,4; Sal 35,26; Sal 70,2; Sal 71,24; Sal 109,29)14But I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more. (Sal 71,5; Sal 71,22)15My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge. (Sal 40,5; Sal 71,8; Sal 71,24)16With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come; I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.17O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.18So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come. (Sal 71,9; Is 46,4)19Your righteousness, O God, reaches the high heavens. You who have done great things, O God, who is like you? (1Sam 12,24; Sal 35,10; Sal 36,5; Sal 126,2; Lu 1,49)20You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again; from the depths of the earth you will bring me up again. (Sal 60,3; Sal 80,18; Sal 85,6; Sal 119,25; Sal 138,7; Sal 143,11; Os 6,2)21You will increase my greatness and comfort me again.22I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. (2Re 19,22; Sal 33,2; Sal 78,41; Sal 89,18; Is 60,9)23My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have redeemed. (Sal 34,22)24And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disappointed who sought to do me hurt. (Sal 35,28; Sal 71,8; Sal 71,13; Sal 71,15)
Salmo 71
King James Version
1In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.2Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.3Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.4Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.5For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.6By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother' bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.7I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.8Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.9Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.10For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,11Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him .12O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.13Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.14But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.15My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof .16I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.17O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.18Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.19Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!20Thou , which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.21Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.22I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.23My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.24My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
