1Al direttore del coro. Per strumenti a fiato. Salmo di Davide. Porgi l’orecchio alle mie parole, o Signore, sii attento ai miei sospiri.2Odi il mio grido d’aiuto, o mio Re e mio Dio, perché a te rivolgo la mia preghiera.3O Signore, al mattino tu ascolti la mia voce; al mattino ti offro la mia preghiera e attendo un tuo cenno;4poiché tu non sei un Dio che prenda piacere nell’empietà; presso di te il male non trova dimora.5Quelli che si vantano non resisteranno davanti agli occhi tuoi; tu detesti tutti gli operatori d’iniquità.6Tu farai perire i bugiardi; il Signore disprezza l’uomo sanguinario e disonesto.7Ma io, per la tua grande bontà, potrò entrare nella tua casa; rivolto al tuo tempio santo, adorerò con timore.8O Signore, guidami con la tua giustizia, a causa dei miei nemici; che io veda diritta davanti a me la tua via,9poiché nella loro bocca non c’è sincerità, il loro cuore è pieno di malizia; la loro gola è un sepolcro aperto, lusingano con la loro lingua.10Condannali, o Dio! Non riescano nei loro propositi! Scacciali per tutti i loro misfatti, poiché si sono ribellati a te.11Si rallegreranno tutti quelli che in te confidano; manderanno grida di gioia per sempre. Tu li proteggerai, e quelli che amano il tuo nome si rallegreranno in te,12perché tu, o Signore, benedirai il giusto; come scudo lo circonderai con il tuo favore.
To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David.
1Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning. (Sal 39,3)2Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray. (Sal 65,2; Sal 84,3)3O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you[1] and watch. (Sal 88,13; Sal 119,147; Sal 130,6; Abac 2,1)4For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with you.5The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers. (Sal 1,5; Sal 11,5; Sal 73,3; Sal 75,4; Abac 1,13)6You destroy those who speak lies; the LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. (Sal 4,2; Sal 55,23)7But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house. I will bow down toward your holy temple in the fear of you. (1Re 8,29; 1Re 8,30; Sal 11,4; Sal 79,1; Sal 132,7)8Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me. (Esd 8,21; Sal 23,3; Sal 25,4; Sal 25,5)9For there is no truth in their mouth; their inmost self is destruction; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue. (Sal 12,2; Sal 52,2; Prov 2,16; Prov 7,5; Ger 5,16; Ro 3,13)10Make them bear their guilt, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you. (2Sam 15,31; 2Sam 17,14; 2Sam 17,23; Is 24,6)11But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you. (1Sam 2,1; Sal 2,12; Sal 9,2; Sal 33,21)12For you bless the righteous, O LORD; you cover him with favor as with a shield. (Sal 35,2; Sal 103,4; Sal 115,13)
Salmo 5
King James Version
1To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.3My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.5The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.6Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.7But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.8Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.10Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.11But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.12For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
