Psalms 58

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DOUAI-RHEIMS
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.	1 Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title.
2 Rescue me from my enemies, my God, and free me from those who rise up against me.	2 If in very deed you speak justice: judge right things, ye sons of men.
3 Rescue me from those who work iniquity, and save me from men of blood.	3 For in your heart you work iniquity: your hands forge injustice in the earth.
4 For behold, they have seized my soul. The strong have rushed upon me.	4 The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: they have spoken false things.
5 And it is neither my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord. I have run and gone directly, without iniquity.	5 Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears:
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.	6 Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely.
7 They will return toward evening, and they will suffer hunger like dogs, and they will wander around the city.	7 God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions.
8 Behold, they will speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: “For who has heard us?”	8 They shall come to nothing, like water running down; he hath bent his bow till they be weakened.
9 And you, O Lord, will laugh at them. You will lead all the Gentiles to nothing.	9 Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: fire hath fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun.
10 I will guard my strength toward you, for you are God, my supporter.	10 Before your thorns could know the brier; he swalloweth them up, as alive, in his wrath.
11 My God, his mercy will precede me.	11 The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
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,	12 And man shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: there is indeed a God that judgeth them on the earth.
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.
