Salmo 61
1 Al maestro del coro. Per strumenti a corda. Di Davide.
2 Ascolta, o Dio, il mio grido,
sii attento alla mia preghiera.
3 Dai confini della terra io t’invoco;
mentre il mio cuore viene meno,
guidami su rupe inaccessibile.
4 Tu sei per me rifugio,
torre salda davanti all’avversario.
5 Dimorerò nella tua tenda per sempre,
all’ombra delle tue ali troverò riparo;
6 perché tu, Dio, hai ascoltato i miei voti,
mi hai dato l’eredità di chi teme il tuo nome.
7 Ai giorni del re aggiungi altri giorni,
per molte generazioni siano i suoi anni.
8 Regni per sempre sotto gli occhi di Dio;
grazia e fedeltà lo custodiscano.
9 Allora canterò inni al tuo nome, sempre,
sciogliendo i miei voti giorno per giorno.
Psaume 61
1 Au chef des chantres. Sur les instruments à cordes. De David.
2 O Dieu, entends mes cris,
sois attentif à ma prière.
3 Des extrémités de la terre, dans ma faiblesse, je crie à toi:
conduis-moi sur le rocher trop élevé pour moi!
4 Oui, tu es pour moi un refuge,
une tour fortifiée, en face de l’ennemi.
5 Je voudrais habiter éternellement dans ta tente,
me réfugier sous l’abri de tes ailes.
6 Oui, c’est toi, ô Dieu, qui écoutes mes voeux;
tu me donnes l’héritage réservé à ceux qui craignent ton nom.
7 Ajoute des jours à la vie du roi,
que ses années se prolongent de génération en génération,.
8 qu’il siège éternellement devant Dieu! Fais que ta bonté et ta fidélité veillent sur lui!
9 Alors je chanterai sans cesse ton nom en accomplissant chaque jour mes vœux.

Psalm 61
1For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David.
2 Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
3 From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
4 For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.
5 I long to dwell in your tent for ever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.[b]
6 For you, God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
7 Increase the days of the king’s life,
his years for many generations.
8 May he be enthroned in God’s presence for ever;
appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.
9 Then I will ever sing in praise of your name
and fulfill my vows day after day.

١ لإِمَامِ الْمُغَنِّينَ على ذوات الأوتار. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ.
۲ اِسْمَعْ يَا ٱللهُ صُرَاخِي، وَٱصْغَ إِلَى صَلَاتِي.
٣ مِنْ أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَدْعُوكَ إِذَا غُشِيَ عَلَى قَلْبِي؛ إِلَى صَخْرَةٍ أَرْفَعَ مِنِّي تَهْدِينِي.
٤ لِأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ مَلْجَأً لِي، بُرْجَ قُوَّةٍ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ.
٥ أَسْكُنَنَّ فِي مَسْكَنِكَ إِلَى ٱلدُّهُورِ. أَحْتَمِي بِسِتْرِ جَنَاحَيْكَ. سِلَاهْ.
٦ لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَا ٱللهُ ٱسْتَمَعْتَ نُذُورِي؛ أَعْطَيْتَ مِيرَاثَ خَائِفِي ٱسْمِكَ.
٧ إِلَى أَيَّامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ تُضِيفُ أَيَّامًا؛ سِنِينُهُ كَدَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.
٨ يَجْلِسُ قُدَّامَ ٱللهِ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ؛ ٱجْعَلْ رَحْمَةً وَحَقًّا يَحْفَظَانِهِ.
٩ هَكَذَا أُرَنِّمُ لِٱسْمِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، لِوَفَاءِ نُذُورِي يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا.

Nel 2013, Paolo è stato rapito proprio durante il Ramadan. Aggiungiamo al nostro salmo la preghiera di ahl al-kahf, i 7 dormienti nel Corano (Q 18:10), chiedendo con insistenza al Misericordioso, l’Onnipotente, la grazia di aprire loro la via della salvezza:

⦅رَبَّنَا آتِنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَداً⦆
(Signore nostro, dacci una misericordia da parte Tua e prepara per noi una via di uscita dalla nostra prova)
(Notre Seigneur, donne-nous une miséricorde de Ta part, et prépare-nous une voie d’issue de notre épreuve)
(Our Lord, grant us Your mercy, and find us a good way out of our ordeal)

Salmo 17
Preghiera. Di Davide.
1 Accogli, Signore, la causa del giusto,
sii attento al mio grido.
Porgi l’orecchio alla mia preghiera:
sulle mie labbra non c’è inganno.
2 Venga da te la mia sentenza,
i tuoi occhi vedano la giustizia.
3 Saggia il mio cuore, scrutalo di notte,
provami al fuoco, non troverai malizia.
La mia bocca non si è resa colpevole,
4 secondo l’agire degli uomini;
seguendo la parola delle tue labbra,
ho evitato i sentieri del violento.
5 Sulle tue vie tieni saldi i miei passi
e i miei piedi non vacilleranno.
6 Io t’invoco, mio Dio: dammi risposta;
porgi l’orecchio, ascolta la mia voce,
7 mostrami i prodigi del tuo amore:
tu che salvi dai nemici
chi si affida alla tua destra.
8 Custodiscimi come pupilla degli occhi,
proteggimi all’ombra delle tue ali,
9 di fronte agli empi che mi opprimono,
ai nemici che mi accerchiano.
10 Essi hanno chiuso il loro cuore,
le loro bocche parlano con arroganza.
11 Eccoli, avanzano, mi circondano,
puntano gli occhi per abbattermi;
12 simili a un leone che brama la preda,
a un leoncello che si apposta in agguato.
13 Sorgi, Signore, affrontalo, abbattilo;
con la tua spada scampami dagli empi,
14 con la tua mano, Signore, dal regno dei morti
che non hanno più parte in questa vita.
Sazia pure dei tuoi beni il loro ventre
se ne sazino anche i figli
e ne avanzi per i loro bambini.
15 Ma io per la giustizia contemplerò il tuo volto,
al risveglio mi sazierò della tua presenza.
Psaume 17
Prière. De David.
1 Eternel! écoute la droiture, sois attentif à mes cris,
Prête l’oreille à ma prière faite avec des lèvres sans tromperie!
2 Que ma justice paraisse devant ta face,
Que tes yeux contemplent mon intégrité!
3 Si tu sondes mon cœur, si tu le visites la nuit,
Si tu m’éprouves, tu ne trouveras rien:
Ma pensée n’est pas autre que ce qui sort de ma bouche.
4 A la vue des actions des hommes, fidèle à la parole de tes lèvres,
Je me tiens en garde contre la voie des violents;
5 Mes pas sont fermes dans tes sentiers,
Mes pieds ne chancellent point.
6 Je t’invoque, car tu m’exauces, ô Dieu!
Incline vers moi ton oreille, écoute ma parole!
7 Signale ta bonté, toi qui sauves ceux qui cherchent un refuge,
Et qui par ta droite les délivres de leurs adversaires!
8 Garde-moi comme la prunelle de l’œil;
Protège-moi, à l’ombre de tes ailes,
9 Contre les méchants qui me persécutent,
Contre mes ennemis acharnés qui m’enveloppent.
10 Ils ferment leurs entrailles,
Ils ont à la bouche des paroles hautaines.
11 Ils sont sur nos pas, déjà ils nous entourent,
Ils nous épient pour nous terrasser.
12 On dirait un lion avide de déchirer,
Un lionceau aux aguets dans son repaire.
13 Lève-toi, Eternel, marche à sa rencontre, renverse-le!
Délivre-moi du méchant par ton glaive!
14 Délivre-moi des hommes par ta main, Eternel, des hommes de ce monde!
Leur part est dans la vie,
Et tu remplis leur ventre de tes biens;
Leurs enfants sont rassasiés,
Et ils laissent leur superflu à leurs petits-enfants.
15 Pour moi, dans la justice, je verrai ta face;
Dès le réveil, je me rassasierai de ton image.

Psalm 17
Prayer of David.
1 Hear a just cause, O LORD; attend to my cry!
Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!
2 From your presence let my vindication come!
Let your eyes behold the right!
3 You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night,
you have tested me, and you will find nothing;
I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.
4 With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips
I have avoided the ways of the violent.
5 My steps have held fast to your paths;
my feet have not slipped.
6 I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;
incline your ear to me; hear my words.
7 Wondrously show your steadfast love,
O Savior of those who seek refuge
from their adversaries at your right hand.
8 Keep me as the apple of your eye;
hide me in the shadow of your wings,
9 from the wicked who do me violence,
my deadly enemies who surround me.
10 They close their hearts to pity;
with their mouths they speak arrogantly.
11 They have now surrounded our steps;
they set their eyes to cast us to the ground.
12 He is like a lion eager to tear,
as a young lion lurking in ambush.
13 Arise, O LORD! Confront him, subdue him!
Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,
14 from men by your hand, O LORD,
from men of the world whose portion is in this life.
You fill their womb with treasure;
they are satisfied with children,
and they leave their abundance to their infants.
15 As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness;
when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.

صَلاةٌ لِداوُدَ.
١ استَمِعْ يا اللهُ إلَى مُطالَبَتِي بِالعَدلِ.
أنصِتْ إلَى صَوْتِ استِغاثَتِي.
أُقَدِّمُ إلَيكَ صَلاتِي مِنْ شَفَتَينِ لا غِشَّ فِيهِما.
۲ مِنْ عِندِكَ يَأْتِي حَقِّي.
عَيناكَ تَرَيانِ الحَقَّ.
٣ أنتَ فَحَصْتَ قَلبِيَ.
فَتَّشْتَنِي فِي اللَّيلِ.
امتَحَنتَنِي فَلَمْ تَجِدْ فِيَّ لَوْماً.
فَقَدْ عَزَمْتُ ألّا أُخْطِئَ بِفَمِي.
٤ عَلَى قَدْرِ طاقَتِي كَإنسانٍ،
أطَعْتُ كَلامَ شَفَتَيكَ،
لَكَي أتَجَنَّبَ دُرُوبَ العُنْفِ.
٥ فَلَيتَكَ تَحفَظُ خَطَواتِي فِي طُرُقِكَ،
حَتَّى لا تَتَعَثَّرَ قَدَمايَ!
٦ دَعَوْتُكَ لِأنَّكَ تُجِيبُنِي يا اللهُ!
أمِلْ إلَيَّ أُذُنَكَ.
وَاسمَعْ كَلِماتِي!
٧ أظْهِرْ بِشَكلٍ عَجِيبٍ مَحَبَّتَكَ المُخلِصَةَ،
يا مَنْ تُنقِذُ يَمِينُكَ الَّذِينَ يَلجَأُونَ إلَيكَ
مِمَّنْ يَقُومُونَ ضِدَّهُمْ.
٨ احفَظْنِي وَكَأنِّي حَدَقَةُ عَينِكَ!
خَبِّئْنِي فِي ظِلِّ جَناحَيكَ،
٩ مِنَ الأشرارِ الَّذِينَ يَسلِبُونَنِي!
وَمِنْ أعدائِي اللَّدُودِينَ
الَّذِينَ يُحاصِرُونَنِي!
١٠ أغلَقُوا قُلُوبَهُمْ عَنِ الشَّفَقَةِ!
فَمُهُمْ يَنطُقُ بِالكِبرِياءِ.
١١ طارَدُونِي، وَقَدْ أحاطُوا بِي
مُتَأهِّبِينَ لِطَرحِي أرْضاً!
١۲ وَكَأنَّ عَدُوِّي أسَدٌ مُتَأهِّبٌ
لِلانقِضاضِ عَلَى فَرِيسَتِهِ.
كَشِبلٍ قَوِيٍّ يَتَرَبَّصُ.
١٣ قُمْ يا اللهُ!
تَصَدَّ لَهُ، وَأخْضِعْهُ!
بِسَيفِكَ خَلِّصْنِي مَنْ ذَلِكَ الشِّرِّيرِ!
١٤ أزِلْهُمْ يا اللهُ بِيَدِكَ بِقُوَّتِكَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الدُّنيا!
أزِلْهُمْ مِنْ أرْضِ الأحياءِ!
أمّا الَّذِينَ تُعِزُّهُمْ، فَأعطِهِمْ وَفرَةً لِيَشبَعُوا،
وَيَشبَعَ أولادُهُمْ، وَيَكتَفِي أحفادُهُمْ!
١٥ أرَى وَجهَكَ بِالبِرِّ.
وَسَأشْبَعُ حِينَ أستَيقِظُ عَلَى رُؤْيَةِ صُورَتِكَ.

Salmo 77
1 Al direttore del coro. Secondo Iedutun. Salmo di Asaf.
La mia voce sale a Dio e io grido;
la mia voce sale a Dio ed egli mi porge l’orecchio.
2 Nel giorno della mia afflizione ho cercato il Signore;
la mia mano è stata tesa durante la notte senza stancarsi,
l’anima mia ha rifiutato di essere consolata.
3 Mi ricordo di Dio, e gemo;
medito, e il mio spirito è abbattuto. [Pausa]
4 Tu tieni desti gli occhi miei,
sono turbato e non posso parlare.
5 Ripenso ai giorni antichi,
agli anni da lungo tempo trascorsi.
6 Durante la notte mi ricordo dei miei canti;
medito,
e il mio spirito si pone delle domande:
7 «Il Signore ci respinge forse per sempre?
Non mostrerà più la sua bontà?
8 La sua misericordia è venuta a mancare per sempre?
La sua parola ha cessato per ogni generazione?
9 Dio ha forse dimenticato di aver pietà?
Ha egli soffocato nell’ira il suo amore?» [Pausa]
10 Ho detto: «La mia afflizione sta in questo,
che la destra dell’Altissimo è mutata».
11 Io rievocherò i prodigi del SIGNORE;
sì, ricorderò le tue meraviglie antiche,
12 mediterò su tutte le opere tue e ripenserò alle tue gesta.
13 O Dio, le tue vie sono sante;
quale Dio è grande come il nostro Dio?
14 Tu sei il Dio che opera meraviglie;
tu hai fatto conoscere la tua forza tra i popoli.
15 Con il tuo braccio hai riscattato il tuo popolo,
i figli di Giacobbe e di Giuseppe. [Pausa]
16 Le acque ti videro, o Dio;
le acque ti videro e furono spaventate;
anche gli oceani tremarono.
17 Le nubi versarono diluvi d’acqua;
i cieli tuonarono;
e anche le tue saette guizzarono da ogni parte.
18 Il fragore dei tuoni era nel turbine;
i lampi illuminarono il mondo;
la terra fu scossa e tremò.
19 Tu apristi la tua via in mezzo al mare,
i tuoi sentieri in mezzo alle grandi acque
e le tue orme non furono visibili.
20 Tu guidasti il tuo popolo come un gregge,
per mano di Mosè e d’Aaronne.

Psaume 77
1 Au maître de chant. Selon Idithun. Psaume d’Asaph.
Vers Dieu, je crie mon appel ! Je crie vers Dieu : qu’il m’entende !
2 Au jour de la détresse, je cherche le Seigneur ; la nuit, je tends les mains sans relâche, mon âme refuse le réconfort.
3 Je me souviens de Dieu, je me plains ;je médite et mon esprit défaille.
4 Tu refuses à mes yeux le sommeil ; je me trouble, incapable de parler.
5 Je pense aux jours d’autrefois, aux années de jadis ;
6 la nuit, je me souviens de mon chant, je médite en mon coeur, et mon esprit s’interroge.
7 Le Seigneur ne fera-t-il que rejeter, ne sera-t-il jamais plus favorable ?
8 Son amour a-t-il donc disparu ? S’est-elle éteinte, d’âge en âge, la parole ?
9 Dieu oublierait-il d’avoir pitié, dans sa colère a-t-il fermé ses entrailles ?
10 J’ai dit : « Une chose me fait mal, la droite du Très-Haut a changé. »
11 Je me souviens des exploits du Seigneur, je rappelle ta merveille de jadis ;
12 je me redis tous tes hauts faits, sur tes exploits je médite.
13 Dieu, la sainteté est ton chemin ! Quel Dieu est grand comme Dieu ?
14 Tu es le Dieu qui accomplis la merveille, qui fais connaître chez les peuples ta force :
15 tu rachetas ton peuple avec puissance, les descendants de Jacob et de Joseph.
16 Les eaux, en te voyant, Seigneur, les eaux, en te voyant, tremblèrent, l’abîme lui-même a frémi.
17 Les nuages déversèrent leurs eaux, les nuées donnèrent de la voix, la foudre frappait de toute part.
18 Au roulement de ta voix qui tonnait, tes éclairs illuminèrent le monde, la terre s’agita et frémit.
19 Par la mer passait ton chemin, tes sentiers, par les eaux profondes ; et nul n’en connaît la trace.
20 Tu as conduit comme un troupeau ton peuple par la main de Moïse et d’Aaron.

Psalm 77
1 To the choirmaster. According to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.
I cry aloud to God,
aloud to God, and he will hear me.
2 In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;
in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying;
my soul refuses to be comforted.
3 When I remember God, I moan;
when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah
4 You hold my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 I consider the days of old,
the years long ago.
6 I said,[a] “Let me remember my song in the night;
let me meditate in my heart.”
Then my spirit made a diligent search:
7 “Will the Lord spurn forever,
and never again be favorable?
8 Has his steadfast love forever ceased?
Are his promises at an end for all time?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah
10 Then I said, “I will appeal to this,
to the years of the right hand of the Most High.”[b]
11 I will remember the deeds of the LORD;
yes, I will remember your wonders of old.
12 I will ponder all your work,
and meditate on your mighty deeds.
13 Your way, O God, is holy.
What god is great like our God?
14 You are the God who works wonders;
you have made known your might among the peoples.
15 You with your arm redeemed your people,
the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
16 When the waters saw you, O God,
when the waters saw you, they were afraid;
indeed, the deep trembled.
17 The clouds poured out water;
the skies gave forth thunder;
your arrows flashed on every side.
18 The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
your lightnings lighted up the world;
the earth trembled and shook.
19 Your way was through the sea,
your path through the great waters;
yet your footprints were unseen.[c]
20 You led your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

الْمَزْمُورُ ٧٧
لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى يَدُوثُونَ. لآسَافَ. مَزْمُورٌ
إِلَى اللهِ أَرْفَعُ صَوْتِي، إِلَى اللهِ أَصْرُخُ فَيُصْغِي إِلَيَّ.
فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِي طَلَبْتُ الرَّبَّ. انْبَسَطَتْ يَدِي طُولَ اللَّيْلِ فَلَمْ تَكِلَّ. أَبَتْ نَفْسِي الْعَزَاءَ.
أَذْكُرُ الرَّبَّ فَأَتَنَهَّدُ، أُنَاجِي نَفْسِي فَيُغْشَى عَلَى رُوحِي.
أَمْسَكْتَ أَجْفَانِي عَنِ النَّوْمِ. اعْتَرَانِي الْقَلَقُ فَعَجَزْتُ عَنِ الْكَلاَمِ.
فَكَّرْتُ فِي الأَيَّامِ الْقَدِيمَةِ وَفِي السِّنِينَ السَّحِيقَةِ.
فِي اللَّيْلِ أَتَذَكَّرُ تَرْنِيمِي، وَأُنَاجِي قَلْبِي، وَتَجِدُّ فِي الْبَحْثِ نَفْسِي.
هَلْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ يَرْفُضُنَا الرَّبُّ وَلَا يَرْضَى عَنَّا أَبَداً؟
هَلِ انْتَهَتْ رَحْمَتُهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ؟ هَلِ انْقَطَعَتْ عَنَّا مَوَاعِيدُهُ؟
أَلَعَلَّ اللهَ نَسِيَ رَأْفَتَهُ؟ أَمْ حَبَسَ بِغَضَبٍ مَرَاحِمَهُ؟
ثُمَّ قُلْتُ:”هَذَا يُسْقِمُنِي: أَنَّ يَمِينَ اللهِ الْعَلِيِّ قَدْ تَحَوَّلَتْ عَنَّا“
أَذْكُرُ أَعْمَالَكَ يَا رَبُّ. أَذْكُرُ عَجَائِبَكَ الَّتِي عَمِلْتَهَا فِي الْقَدِيمِ،
وَأَتَأَمَّلُ جَمِيعَ أَفْعَالِكَ وَأُنَاجِي بِكُلِّ مَا صَنَعْتَهُ.
يَا اللهُ، إِنَّ طَرِيقَكَ هِيَ الْقَدَاسَةُ، فَأَيُّ إِلَهٍ عَظِيمٌ مِثْلُ اللهِ؟
أَنْتَ الإِلَهُ الصَّانِعُ الْعَجَائِبَ، وَقَدْ أَعْلَنْتَ قُوَّتَكَ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ.
بِذِرَاعِكَ القَدِيرَةِ افْتَدَيْتَ شَعْبَكَ بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ وَيُوسُفَ.
رَأَتْكَ الْمِيَاهُ يَا اللهُ فَارْتَجَفَتْ وَاضْطَرَبَتْ أَعْمَاقُهَا أَيْضاً.
سَكَبَتِ الْغُيُومُ مَاءً وَأَرْعَدَتِ السُّحُبُ، وَتَطَايَرَتْ سِهَامُكَ.
زَأَرَ صَوْتُ رَعْدِكَ فِي الزَّوْبَعَةِ، فَأَضَاءَتِ الْبُرُوقُ الْمَسْكُونَةَ، وَارْتَعَدَتِ الأَرْضُ وَاهْتَزَّتْ.
إِنَّمَا فِي الْبَحْرِ طَرِيقُكَ، وَمَسَالِكُكَ فِي الْمِيَاهِ الْغَامِرَةِ، وَآثَارُ خُطُوَاتِكَ لَا تُتَقَصَّى.
هَدَيْتَ شَعْبَكَ كَقَطِيعٍ عَلَى

Salmo 121
1 Canto delle salite.
Alzo gli occhi verso i monti:
da dove mi verrà l’aiuto?
2 Il mio aiuto viene dal Signore:
egli ha fatto cielo e terra.
3 Non lascerà vacillare il tuo piede,
non si addormenterà il tuo custode.
4 Non si addormenterà, non prenderà sonno
il custode d’Israele.
5 Il Signore è il tuo custode,
il Signore è la tua ombra
e sta alla tua destra.
6 Di giorno non ti colpirà il sole,
né la luna di notte.
7 Il Signore ti custodirà da ogni male:
egli custodirà la tua vita.
8 Il Signore ti custodirà quando esci e quando entri,
da ora e per sempre.

Psalm 121
1 A song of ascents
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

Psaume 121
1 Chant pour les montées.
Je lève les yeux vers les monts:
d’où me vient mon secours?
2 Le secours me vient du Seigneur
qui a fait le ciel et la terre.
3 Qu’il ne permette pas à ton pied de trébucher,
qu’il ne somnole pas, celui qui te garde!
4 Non, il ne somnole pas, il ne dort pas,
celui qui garde Israël.
5 Le Seigneur est ton gardien,
le Seigneur est ton ombre protectrice,
il se tient à ta droite.
6 Le soleil ne te fera pas de mal pendant le jour,
ni la lune pendant la nuit.
7 Le Seigneur te gardera de tout mal:
il gardera ta vie.
8 Le Seigneur te gardera ton départ et ton arrivée,
dès maintenant et à jamais.

2 Signore, quanti sono i miei oppressori!

«Neppure Dio lo salva!».
4 Ma tu, Signore, sei mia difesa,
tu sei mia gloria e sollevi il mio capo.
5 Al Signore innalzo la mia voce
e mi risponde dal suo monte santo.
6 Io mi corico e mi addormento,
mi sveglio perché il Signore mi sostiene.
7 Non temo la moltitudine di genti
che contro di me si accampano.
8 Sorgi, Signore,
salvami, Dio mio.
Hai colpito sulla guancia i miei nemici,
hai spezzato i denti ai peccatori.
9 Del Signore è la salvezza:
sul tuo popolo la tua benedizione.
Psaume 3
1 Psaume de David. A l’occasion de sa fuite devant Absalom, son fils.
2 O Eternel, que mes ennemis sont nombreux!
Quelle multitude se lève contre moi!
3 Combien qui disent à mon sujet:
« Plus de salut pour lui auprès de Dieu! ».
4 Mais toi, ô Eternel! tu es mon bouclier,
Tu es ma gloire, et tu relèves ma tête.
5 De ma voix je crie à l’Eternel,
Et il me répond de sa montagne sainte.
6 Je me couche, et je m’endors;
Je me réveille, car l’Eternel est mon soutien.
7 Je ne crains pas les myriades de peuples
Qui m’assiègent de toutes parts.
8 Lève-toi, Eternel!
Sauve-moi, mon Dieu!
Car tu frappes à la joue tous mes ennemis,
Tu brises les dents des pécheurs.
9 Le salut est auprès de l’Eternel :
Que ta bénédiction soit sur ton peuple!
Psalm 3
1A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom.
2 LORD, how many are my foes!
How many rise up against me!
3 Many are saying of me,
‘God will not deliver him.’
4 But you, LORD, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
5 I call out to the LORD,
and he answers me from his holy mountain.
6 I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.
7 I will not fear though tens of thousands
assail me on every side.
8 Arise, LORD!
Deliver me, my God!
Strike all my enemies on the jaw;
break the teeth of the wicked.
9 From the LORD comes deliverance.
May your blessing be on your people.

Salmo 12
1 Al maestro del coro. Salmo. Di Davide.
2 Fino a quando, Signore, continuerai a dimenticarmi?
Fino a quando mi nasconderai il tuo volto?
3 Fino a quando nell’anima mia proverò affanni,
tristezza nel cuore ogni momento?
Fino a quando su di me trionferà il nemico?
4 Guarda, rispondimi, Signore mio Dio,
conserva la luce ai miei occhi,
perché non mi sorprenda il sonno della morte,
5 perché il mio nemico non dica: «L’ho vinto!»
e non esultino i miei avversari quando vacillo.
6 Nella tua misericordia ho confidato.
Gioisca il mio cuore nella tua salvezza
e canti al Signore, che mi ha beneficato.

Psaume 12
1 Au chef des chantres. Sur la harpe à huit cordes. De David.
2 Combien de temps, Seigneur, vas-tu m’oublier,
combien de temps, me cacher ton visage ?
3 Combien de temps aurai-je l’âme en peine et le cœur attristé chaque jour ?
Combien de temps mon ennemi sera-t-il le plus fort ?
4 Regarde, réponds-moi, Seigneur mon Dieu !
Donne la lumière à mes yeux, garde-moi du sommeil de la mort ;
5 que l’adversaire ne crie pas : « Victoire ! »
Que l’ennemi n’ait pas la joie de ma défaite !
6 Moi, je prends appui sur ton amour
Que mon cœur ait la joie de ton salut !
Je chanterai le Seigneur pour le bien qu’il m’a fait.

Psalm 12
1For the director of music. According to sheminith. A psalm of David.
2Help, LORD, for no one is faithful anymore;
those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.
3 Everyone lies to their neighbor;
they flatter with their lips
but harbor deception in their hearts.
4 May the LORD silence all flattering lips
and every boastful tongue –
5 those who say,
‘By our tongues we will prevail;
our own lips will defend us – who is lord over us?’
6 ‘Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan,
I will now arise,’ says the LORD.
‘I will protect them from those who malign them.’
7 And the words of the LORD are flawless,
like silver purified in a crucible,
like gold refined seven times.
8 You, LORD, will keep the needy safe
and will protect us forever from the wicked,
9 who freely strut about
when what is vile is honored by the human race.

42 a chi mi insulta darò una risposta,
perché ho fiducia nella tua parola.
43 Non togliere mai dalla mia bocca la parola vera,
perché confido nei tuoi giudizi.
44 Custodirò la tua legge per sempre,
nei secoli, in eterno.
45 Sarò sicuro nel mio cammino,
perché ho ricercato i tuoi voleri.
46 Davanti ai re parlerò della tua alleanza
senza temere la vergogna.
47 Gioirò per i tuoi comandi
che ho amati.
48 Alzerò le mani ai tuoi precetti che amo,
mediterò le tue leggi.
49 Ricorda la promessa fatta al tuo servo,
con la quale mi hai dato speranza.
50 Questo mi consola nella miseria:
la tua parola mi fa vivere.
51 I superbi mi insultano aspramente,
ma non devìo dalla tua legge.
52 Ricordo i tuoi giudizi di un tempo, Signore,
e ne sono consolato.
53 M’ha preso lo sdegno contro gli empi
che abbandonano la tua legge.
54 Sono canti per me i tuoi precetti,
nella terra del mio pellegrinaggio.
55 Ricordo il tuo nome lungo la notte
e osservo la tua legge, Signore.
56 Tutto questo mi accade
perché ho custodito i tuoi precetti.
57 La mia sorte, ho detto, Signore,
è custodire le tue parole.
58 Con tutto il cuore ti ho supplicato,
fammi grazia secondo la tua promessa.

44 Je garderai ta loi constamment, A toujours et à perpétuité.
45 Je marcherai au large, Car je recherche tes ordonnances.
46 Je parlerai de tes préceptes devant les rois, Et je ne rougirai point.
47 Je fais mes délices de tes commandements. Je les aime.
48 Je lève mes mains vers tes commandements que j’aime, Et je veux méditer tes statuts.
49 Souviens-toi de ta promesse à ton serviteur, Puisque tu m’as donné l’espérance !
50 C’est ma consolation dans ma misère, Car ta promesse me rend la vie.
51 Des orgueilleux me chargent de railleries ; Je ne m’écarte point de ta loi.
52 Je pense à tes jugements d’autrefois, ô Seigneur ! Et je me console.
53 Une colère ardente me saisit à la vue des méchants Qui abandonnent ta loi.
54 Tes statuts sont le sujet de mes cantiques, Dans la maison où je suis étranger.
55 La nuit je me rappelle ton nom, ô Seigneur ! Et je garde ta loi.
56 C’est là ce qui m’est propre, Car j’observe tes ordonnances.

Psalm 119 (41-58)

43 Do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth,
for my hope is in your ordinances.
44 I will keep your law continually,
for ever and ever.
45 I shall walk at liberty,
for I have sought your precepts.
46 I will also speak of your decrees before kings,
and shall not be put to shame;
47 I find my delight in your commandments,
because I love them.
48 I revere your commandments, which I love,
and I will meditate on your statutes.
49 Remember your word to your servant,
in which you have made me hope.
50 This is my comfort in my distress,
that your promise gives me life.
51 The arrogant utterly deride me,
but I do not turn away from your law.
52 When I think of your ordinances from of old,
I take comfort, O Lord.
53 Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked,
those who forsake your law.
54 Your statutes have been my songs
wherever I make my home.
55 I remember your name in the night, O Lord,
and keep your law.
56 This blessing has fallen to me,
for I have kept your precepts.
57 The Lord is my portion;
I promise to keep your words.
58 I implore your favour with all my heart;
be gracious to me according to your promise.
