Il castigo dell’empio

1 O Signore, perché te ne stai lontano? Perché ti nascondi in tempo d’angoscia? 2 L’empio nella sua superbia perseguita con furore i miseri; essi rimangono presi nelle insidie tese dai malvagi; 3 poiché l’empio si gloria delle brame dell’anima sua, benedice il rapace e disprezza il Signore. 4 L’empio, con viso altero, dice: «Il Signore non farà inchieste». Tutti i suoi pensieri sono: «Non c’è Dio!» 5 Le sue vie son prospere in ogni tempo; cosa troppo alta per lui sono i tuoi giudizi; con un soffio egli disperde tutti i suoi nemici. 6 Egli dice in cuor suo: «Non sarò mai smosso; d’età in età non m’accadrà male alcuno». 7 La sua bocca è piena di maledizione, di frodi e di violenza; sotto la sua lingua c’è malizia e iniquità. 8 Egli sta in agguato nei villaggi, uccide l’innocente in luoghi nascosti; i suoi occhi spiano il misero. 9 Sta in agguato nel suo nascondiglio come un leone nella sua tana, sta in agguato per sorprendere il misero; egli sorprende lo sventurato trascinandolo nella sua rete. 10 Se ne sta quatto e chino, e gli infelici soccombono alla sua forza. 11 Dice in cuor suo: «Dio dimentica, nasconde la sua faccia, non vedrà mai». 12 Ergiti, o Signore! O Dio, alza la tua mano! Non dimenticare i miseri. 13 Perché l’empio disprezza Dio? Perché dice in cuor suo: «Non ne chiederà conto»? 14 Invece tu hai visto; poiché tu guardi la malvagità e l’oppressione per poi ripagare con la tua mano. A te si abbandona il misero; tu sei il sostegno dell’orfano. 15 Spezza il braccio dell’empio e del malvagio; chiedi conto della sua empietà, finché tu non ne trovi più. 16 Il Signore è re in eterno; le nazioni sono state sterminate dalla sua terra. 17 O Signore, tu esaudisci il desiderio degli umili; tu fortifichi il cuor loro, porgi il tuo orecchio 18 per rendere giustizia all’orfano e all’oppresso, affinché l’uomo, che è fatto di terra, cessi d’incutere spavento.

Why Do You Hide Yourself?

1 Why, O LORD, do you stand far away? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? (Sal 9,9; Sal 13,1; Sal 22,1; Sal 22,11; Sal 22,19; Sal 35,22; Sal 38,21)

2 In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised. (Sal 7,15; Sal 7,16) 3 For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses^[1] and renounces the LORD. (Giob 1,5; Giob 1,11; Sal 10,13; Sal 94,4; Is 3,9)

Giob 1,5Giob 1,11Sal 10,13Sal 94,4Is 3,9

4 In the pride of his face^[2] the wicked does not seek him;^[3] all his thoughts are, “There is no God.” (Sal 3,1; Sal 14,1; Sal 53,1) 5 His ways prosper at all times; your judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his foes, he puffs at them. (Sal 12,5; Is 26,11) 6 He says in his heart, “I shall not be moved; throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity.” (Sal 10,11; Ap 18,7) 7 His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are mischief and iniquity. (Giob 20,12; Sal 5,5; Sal 6,8; Sal 7,14; Sal 36,3; Sal 55,11; Sal 72,14; Sal 140,3; Cc 4,11; Ro 3,14)

8 He sits in ambush in the villages; in hiding places he murders the innocent. His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless; (Sal 17,12; Sal 64,4; Abac 3,14) 9 he lurks in ambush like a lion in his thicket; he lurks that he may seize the poor; he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net. (Giob 38,40; Sal 9,15; Sal 17,12; Sal 59,3; Mi 7,2)

Giob 38,40Sal 9,15Sal 17,12Sal 59,3Mi 7,2

10 The helpless are crushed, sink down, and fall by his might. 11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it.” (Sal 73,11; Sal 94,7; Ez 8,12; Ez 9,9; So 1,12)

Sal 73,11Sal 94,7Ez 8,12Ez 9,9So 1,12

12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand; forget not the afflicted. (Sal 3,7; Sal 9,12; Sal 9,18; Mi 5,9)

Sal 3,7Sal 9,12Sal 9,18Mi 5,9

13 Why does the wicked renounce God and say in his heart, “You will not call to account”? (Sal 9,12; Sal 10,3) 14 But you do see, for you note mischief and vexation, that you may take it into your hands; to you the helpless commits himself; you have been the helper of the fatherless. (Sal 33,13; Sal 68,5; Sal 146,9; Os 14,3; 2Ti 1,12; 1P 4,19)

Sal 33,13Sal 68,5Sal 146,9Os 14,32Ti 1,121P 4,19

15 Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call his wickedness to account till you find none. (Sal 37,17; Sal 37,36; Is 41,12) 16 The LORD is king forever and ever; the nations perish from his land. (Eso 15,18; De 8,20; Sal 29,10; Ger 10,10; Lam 5,19; Da 4,34; Da 6,26; 1Ti 1,17; Ap 11,15)

17 O LORD, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear (1Cr 29,18) 18 to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more. (Sal 9,9; Sal 9,19; Sal 9,20; Sal 17,14; Sal 74,21; Sal 82,3; Is 1,17; Is 11,4)

King James Version

1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? 2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. 3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart' desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. 4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God : God is not in all his thoughts. 5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. 6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. 7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. 8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. 9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. 10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. 11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it . 12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. 13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it . 14 Thou hast seen it ; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. 15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man : seek out his wickedness till thou find none. 16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land. 17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: 18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
