Psalmi 59

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 In finem, pro his qui immutabuntur, in tituli inscriptionem ipsi David, in doctrinam,	1 For the director. Do not destroy. A miktam of David, when Saul sent people to watch his house and kill him.
2 cum succendit Mesopotamiam Syriæ et Sobal, et convertit Joab, et percussit Idumæam in valle Salinarum duodecim millia.	2 Rescue me from my enemies, my God; lift me out of reach of my foes.
3 Deus, repulisti nos, et destruxisti nos ; iratus es, et misertus es nobis.	3 Deliver me from evildoers; from the bloodthirsty save me.
4 Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam ; sana contritiones ejus, quia commota est.	4 They have set an ambush for my life; the powerful conspire against me. For no offense or misdeed of mine, LORD,
5 Ostendisti populo tuo dura ; potasti nos vino compunctionis.	5 for no fault they hurry to take up arms. Come near and see my plight!
6 Dedisti metuentibus te significationem, ut fugiant a facie arcus ; ut liberentur dilecti tui.	6 You, LORD of hosts, are the God of Israel! Awake! Punish all the nations. Have no mercy on these worthless traitors. Selah
7 Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.	7 Each evening they return, growling like dogs, prowling the city.
8 Deus locutus est in sancto suo : lætabor, et partibor Sichimam ; et convallem tabernaculorum metibor.	8 Their mouths pour out insult; sharp words are on their lips. They say: "Who is there to hear?"
9 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses ; et Ephraim fortitudo capitis mei. Juda rex meus ;	9 You, LORD, laugh at them; you deride all the nations.
10 Moab olla spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum : mihi alienigenæ subditi sunt.	10 My strength, for you I watch; you, God, are my fortress,
11 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam ? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam ?	11 my loving God.
12 nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos ? et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris ?	12 May God go before me, and show me my fallen foes. Slay them, God, lest they deceive my people. Shake them by your power; Lord, our shield, bring them down.
13 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.	13 For the sinful words of their mouths and lips let them be caught in their pride. For the lies they have told under oath
14 In Deo faciemus virtutem ; et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.	14 destroy them in anger, destroy till they are no more. Then people will know God rules over Jacob, yes, even to the ends of the earth. Selah
	15 Each evening they return, growling like dogs, prowling the city.
	16 They roam about as scavengers; if they are not filled, they howl.
	17 But I shall sing of your strength, extol your love at dawn, For you are my fortress, my refuge in time of trouble.
	18 My strength, your praise I will sing; you, God, are my fortress, my loving God.
