Psalms 58

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBBIA CEI 1974
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 'Al maestro del coro. Su "Non distruggere".' 'Di Davide. Miktam.'
2 Rescue me from my enemies, my God, and free me from those who rise up against me.	2 Rendete veramente giustizia o potenti, giudicate con rettitudine gli uomini?
3 Rescue me from those who work iniquity, and save me from men of blood.	3 Voi tramate iniquità con il cuore, sulla terra le vostre mani preparano violenze.
4 For behold, they have seized my soul. The strong have rushed upon me.	4 Sono traviati gli empi fin dal seno materno, si pervertono fin dal grembo gli operatori di menzogna.
5 And it is neither my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord. I have run and gone directly, without iniquity.	5 Sono velenosi come il serpente, come vipera sorda che si tura le orecchie
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 per non udire la voce dell'incantatore, del mago che incanta abilmente.
7 They will return toward evening, and they will suffer hunger like dogs, and they will wander around the city.	7 Spezzagli, o Dio, i denti nella bocca, rompi, o Signore, le mascelle dei leoni.
8 Behold, they will speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: “For who has heard us?”	8 Si dissolvano come acqua che si disperde, come erba calpestata inaridiscano.
9 And you, O Lord, will laugh at them. You will lead all the Gentiles to nothing.	9 Passino come lumaca che si discioglie, come aborto di donna che non vede il sole.
10 I will guard my strength toward you, for you are God, my supporter.	10 Prima che le vostre caldaie sentano i pruni, vivi li travolga il turbine.
11 My God, his mercy will precede me.	11 Il giusto godrà nel vedere la vendetta, laverà i piedi nel sangue degli empi.
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 Gli uomini diranno: "C'è un premio per il giusto, c'è Dio che fa giustizia sulla terra!".
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.
