Psalms 58

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LA SACRA BIBBIA
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 di coro. "Non distruggere". Di Davide. Miktam.
2 Rescue me from my enemies, my God, and free me from those who rise up against me.	2 Amministrate forse la giustizia con fedeltà, o potenti? Governate forse con rettitudine, o figli degli uomini?
3 Rescue me from those who work iniquity, and save me from men of blood.	3 Ma voi nel cuore operate iniquità, tessono violenza le vostre mani nel paese.
4 For behold, they have seized my soul. The strong have rushed upon me.	4 Sviati sono gli empi fin dalla nascita, fin dal seno materno sono traviati quelli che dicono menzogne.
5 And it is neither my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord. I have run and gone directly, without iniquity.	5 Hanno veleno come quello del serpente, dell'aspide sordo, 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 che non dà retta alla voce dell'incantatore, neppure dell'incantatore più esperto.
7 They will return toward evening, and they will suffer hunger like dogs, and they will wander around the city.	7 O Dio, spezza i loro denti nella loro bocca, frantuma, o Signore, i loro molari leonini.
8 Behold, they will speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: “For who has heard us?”	8 Si dileguino come fluida acqua, dissecchino come fieno che si calpesta,
9 And you, O Lord, will laugh at them. You will lead all the Gentiles to nothing.	9 come la cera che si scioglie e svanisce, come un aborto di donna che non ha mai visto il sole.
10 I will guard my strength toward you, for you are God, my supporter.	10 Prima che le vostre pentole sentano il calore del pruno, ancor vivo, come in un turbine, se lo porti via!
11 My God, his mercy will precede me.	11 Si rallegrerà il giusto alla vista della vendetta, i suoi piedi laverà 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 E dirà la gente: "Certo, c'è un premio per il giusto! Certo, c'è Dio che governa 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.
