Salmi 58

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Magistro chori. Secundum " Ne destruxeris ". David. Miktam.	1 For the leader. Do not destroy. A miktam of David.
2 Numquid vere, potentes, iustitiam loquimini, recte iudicatis filios hominum?	2 Do you indeed pronounce justice, O gods; do you judge mortals fairly?
3 Etenim in corde iniquitates operamini, in terra violentiam manus vestrae concinnant.	3 No, you freely engage in crime; your hands dispense violence to the earth.
4 Alienati sunt peccatores ab utero; erraverunt a ventre, qui loquuntur falsa.	4 The wicked have been corrupt since birth; liars from the womb, they have gone astray.
5 Venenum illis in similitudinem serpentis, sicut aspidis surdae et obturantis aures suas,	5 Their poison is like the poison of a snake, like that of a serpent stopping its ears,
6 quae non exaudiet vocem incantantium et venefici incantantis sapienter.	6 So as not to hear the voice of the charmer who casts such cunning spells.
7 Deus, contere dentes eorum in ore ipsorum; molas leonum confringe, Domine.	7 O God, smash the teeth in their mouths; break the jaw-teeth of these lions, LORD!
8 Diffluant tamquam aqua decurrens, sicut fenum conculcatum arescant.	8 Make them vanish like water flowing away; trodden down, let them wither like grass.
9 Sicut limax, quae tabescens transit, sicut abortivum mulieris, quod non viditsolem.	9 Let them dissolve like a snail that oozes away, like an untimely birth that never sees the sun.
10 Priusquam sentiant ollae vestrae rhamnum, sicut viventes, sicut ardor irae absorbet eos.	10 Suddenly, like brambles or thistles, have the whirlwind snatch them away.
11 Laetabitur iustus, cum viderit vindictam, pedes suos lavabit in sanguine peccatoris.	11 Then the just shall rejoice to see the vengeance and bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.
12 Et dicet homo: “ Utique est fructus iusto, utique est Deus iudicans eos in terra ”.	12 Then it will be said: "Truly there is a reward for the just; there is a God who is judge on earth!"
