Psalms 58

World English Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?
1In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, quando misit Saul et custodivit domum ejus ut eum interficeret.
2No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands on the earth.
2[Eripe me de inimicis meis, Deus meus, et ab insurgentibus in me libera me.
3The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
3Eripe me de operantibus iniquitatem, et de viris sanguinum salva me.
4Their poison is like the poison of a snake, like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,
4Quia ecce ceperunt animam meam; irruerunt in me fortes.
5which doesn’t listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.
5Neque iniquitas mea, neque peccatum meum, Domine; sine iniquitate cucurri, et direxi.
6Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, LORD.
6Exsurge in occursum meum, et vide: et tu, Domine Deus virtutum, Deus Israël, intende ad visitandas omnes gentes: non miserearis omnibus qui operantur iniquitatem.
7Let them vanish like water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.
7Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes: et circuibunt civitatem.
8Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.
8Ecce loquentur in ore suo, et gladius in labiis eorum: quoniam quis audivit?
9Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.
9Et tu, Domine, deridebis eos; ad nihilum deduces omnes gentes.
10The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,
10Fortitudinem meam ad te custodiam, quia, Deus, susceptor meus es:
11so that men shall say, “Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth.”
11Deus meus misericordia ejus præveniet me.
