1Al direttore del coro. Di Davide, servo del Signore. L’iniquità parla all’empio nell’intimo del suo cuore; non c’è timor di Dio davanti agli occhi suoi.2Essa lo illude che la sua empietà non sarà scoperta né presa in odio.3Le parole della sua bocca sono iniquità e inganno; egli rifiuta di essere giudizioso e di fare il bene.4Medita iniquità sul suo letto; si tiene nella via che non è buona; non odia il male.5O Signore, la tua benevolenza giunge fino al cielo, la tua fedeltà fino alle nuvole.6La tua giustizia s’innalza come le montagne più alte, i tuoi giudizi sono profondi come il grande oceano. O Signore, tu soccorri uomini e bestie.7O Dio, com’è preziosa la tua benevolenza! Perciò i figli degli uomini cercano rifugio all’ombra delle tue ali,8si saziano dell’abbondanza della tua casa e tu li disseti al torrente delle tue delizie.9Poiché in te è la fonte della vita, e per la tua luce noi vediamo la luce.10Fa’ giungere la tua benevolenza a quelli che ti conoscono e la tua giustizia ai retti di cuore.11Non mi raggiunga il piede dei superbi, la mano degli empi non mi metta in fuga.12Ecco, quelli che fanno il male sono caduti; sono atterrati, e non possono risorgere.
To the choirmaster. Of David, the servant of the Lord.
1Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart;[1] there is no fear of God before his eyes. (Ro 3,18)2For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated. (De 29,19; Sal 10,3; Sal 49,18)3The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit; he has ceased to act wisely and do good. (Sal 12,2; Ger 4,22)4He plots trouble while on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not reject evil. (Sal 10,7; Sal 97,10; Prov 4,16; Is 65,2; Mi 2,1)5Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.6Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, O LORD. (Ne 9,6; Sal 71,19; Sal 92,5; Sal 104,14; Sal 104,15; Sal 145,9; Sal 145,15; Sal 145,16; Ro 11,33)7How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings. (Ru 2,12; Sal 31,19)8They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights. (Sal 16,11; Sal 23,5; Sal 27,4; Sal 46,4; Sal 65,4; Is 25,6; Ger 31,12; Ap 22,1)9For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light. (Ger 2,13; Giov 1,9; Giov 4,10; Giov 4,14; Giov 5,26; At 26,18; 1P 2,9)10Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who know you, and your righteousness to the upright of heart! (Sal 7,10; Sal 79,6; Ger 22,16; Ga 4,9)11Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.12There the evildoers lie fallen; they are thrust down, unable to rise. (Sal 1,5; Sal 94,4)
Salmo 36
King James Version
1To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.2For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.4He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.5Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.6Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.7How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.9For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.10O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.11Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.12There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
