Salmos 58

EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Del maestro de coro. «No destruyas». De David. Mictán.	1 Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when Saul sent and watched his house, in order to execute him.
2 ¿Acaso ustedes, los poderosos, pronuncian realmente sentencias justas y gobiernan a los hombres con rectitud?	2 Rescue me from my enemies, my God, and free me from those who rise up against me.
3 ¡No! Ustedes cometen injusticias a plena conciencia y favorecen la opresión en la tierra.	3 Rescue me from those who work iniquity, and save me from men of blood.
4 Los impíos están extraviados desde el seno materno; desde su nacimiento se descarriaron los impostores.	4 For behold, they have seized my soul. The strong have rushed upon me.
5 Tienen un veneno semejante al de las víboras; son como una serpiente sorda, que cierra los oídos,	5 And it is neither my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord. I have run and gone directly, without iniquity.
6 para no oír la voz del encantador, la voz del mago que ejerce su arte con destreza.	6 Rise up to meet me, and see: even you, O Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel. Reach out to visit all nations. Do not take pity on all those who work iniquity.
7 Rómpeles, Dios mío, los dientes en la boca; arráncales, Señor, esos colmillos de leones.	7 They will return toward evening, and they will suffer hunger like dogs, and they will wander around the city.
8 Que se diluyan como agua que se evapora; que se marchiten como hierba pisoteada.	8 Behold, they will speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: “For who has heard us?”
9 Sean como una babosa que se deshace al pasar, como un aborto de mujer que no llegó a ver el sol.	9 And you, O Lord, will laugh at them. You will lead all the Gentiles to nothing.
10 Que los arrastre el vendaval –verdes o quemados– antes que produzcan espinas como una zarza.	10 I will guard my strength toward you, for you are God, my supporter.
11 El justo se alegrará al contemplar la Venganza y lavará sus pies en la sangre de los impíos.	11 My God, his mercy will precede me.
12 Entonces dirán los hombres: «Sí, el justo recibe su recompensa; sí, hay un Dios que hace justicia en la tierra».	12 God will oversee my enemies for me. Do not slay them, lest at times my people may forget them. Scatter them by your virtue. And depose them, O Lord, my protector,
	13 by the offense of their mouth and by the speech of their lips. And may they be caught in their arrogance. And, for their cursing and lying, they will be made known
	14 at the consummation, in the fury of the consummation, and so they will be no more. And they will know that God will rule over Jacob, even to the ends of the earth.
	15 They will return toward evening, and they will suffer hunger like dogs, and they will wander around the city.
	16 They will be dispersed in order to gnaw, and truly, when they will not have been satisfied, they will murmur.
	17 But I will sing your strength, and I will extol your mercy, in the morning. For you have been my supporter and my refuge in the day of my tribulation.
	18 To you, my helper, I will sing psalms. For you are God, my supporter. My God is my mercy.
