Clementine Vulgate, 1598
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, quando misit Saul et custodivit domum ejus ut eum interficeret.
1(58-1) For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam. (58-2) Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company? Do ye judge with equity the sons of men?
2[Eripe me de inimicis meis, Deus meus, et ab insurgentibus in me libera me.
2(58-3) Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.
3Eripe me de operantibus iniquitatem, et de viris sanguinum salva me.
3(58-4) The wicked are estranged from the womb; the speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.
4Quia ecce ceperunt animam meam; irruerunt in me fortes.
4(58-5) Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; they are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;
5Neque iniquitas mea, neque peccatum meum, Domine; sine iniquitate cucurri, et direxi.
5(58-6) Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, or of the most cunning binder of spells.
6Exsurge in occursum meum, et vide: et tu, Domine Deus virtutum, Deus Israël, intende ad visitandas omnes gentes: non miserearis omnibus qui operantur iniquitatem.
6(58-7) Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
7Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes: et circuibunt civitatem.
7(58-8) Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
8Ecce loquentur in ore suo, et gladius in labiis eorum: quoniam quis audivit?
8(58-9) Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun.
9Et tu, Domine, deridebis eos; ad nihilum deduces omnes gentes.
9(58-10) Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.
10Fortitudinem meam ad te custodiam, quia, Deus, susceptor meus es:
10(58-11) The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11Deus meus misericordia ejus præveniet me.
11(58-12) And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.'
12Deus ostendet mihi super inimicos meos: ne occidas eos, nequando obliviscantur populi mei. Disperge illos in virtute tua, et depone eos, protector meus, Domine:
