Salmi 65
1 Per il Capo de’ musici. Salmo di Davide. Canto. A te, o Dio, nel raccoglimento, sale la lode in Sion, a te l’omaggio dei voti che si compiono.
God, it is right/appropriate [for us] to praise you in Jerusalem, and to do what [we] have promised you that [we] would do,
2 O tu ch’esaudisci la preghiera, ogni carne verrà a te.
[because] you answer our prayers. People everywhere will come to you
3 Le iniquità mi hanno sopraffatto, ma tu farai l’espiazione delle nostre trasgressioni.
because of the sins [that they have committed]. Our many sins are like a very heavy burden to us, but you forgive us.
4 Beato colui che tu eleggi e fai accostare a te perché abiti ne’ tuoi cortili! Noi sarem saziati de’ beni della tua casa, della santità del tuo tempio.
You are pleased with those whom you have chosen to live close to your temple. We are happy with all the blessings that we receive from [worshiping in] your sacred temple.
5 In modi tremendi tu ci rispondi, nella tua giustizia, o Dio della nostra salvezza, confidanza di tutte le estremità della terra e dei mari lontani.
[God, when we pray to you], you answer us and save us by doing awesome deeds; you are the one who rescues us; people who live in very remote places on the earth, on the other side of the oceans, trust in you.
6 Egli con la sua potenza rende stabili i monti; egli è cinto di forza.
By your strength you put the mountains in their places, [showing that] you are very powerful.
7 Egli acqueta il rumore de’ mari, il rumore de’ loro flutti, e il tumulto de’ popoli.
You calm the seas when they roar, and you stop the waves from crashing [on the shore]; you [also] calm people when they (make a great uproar/shout angrily together).
8 Perciò quelli che abitano alle estremità della terra temono alla vista de’ tuoi prodigi; tu fai giubilare i luoghi ond’escono la mattina e la sera.
People who live in very remote/distant places on the earth (are awed by/revere) you because of the miracles that you perform; because of what you do, people who live far to the west and far to the east shout joyfully.
9 Tu visiti la terra e l’adacqui, tu l’arricchisci grandemente. I ruscelli di Dio son pieni d’acqua; tu prepari agli uomini il grano, quando prepari così la terra;
You take care of the soil and send rain, causing many good things to grow; you fill the streams with water, and cause grain/crops to grow. That is what you have determined/said would happen.
10 tu adacqui largamente i suoi solchi, ne pareggi le zolle, l’ammollisci con le piogge, ne benedici i germogli.
You [send plenty of rain] on the fields that have been plowed, and you fill the furrows with water. With showers you soften the [hard clods/lumps of] soil, and you bless the soil by causing young plants to grow.
11 Tu coroni de’ tuoi beni l’annata, e dove passa il tuo carro stilla il grasso.
Because you bless the soil, there are very good crops at harvest season; wherever you have gone [MTY], good crops are very abundant [IDM].
12 Esso stilla sui pascoli del deserto, e i colli son cinti di gioia.
The pastures are full of flocks [of sheep and goats]; [it is as though] the hills are very joyful.
13 I pascoli si riveston di greggi, e le valli si copron di frumento; dan voci di allegrezza e cantano.
The meadows are full of sheep and goats, and the valleys are full of grain; [it is as though] they [also] sing and shout joyfully.
