Psalmi 59

VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 In finem, pro his qui immutabuntur, in tituli inscriptionem ipsi David, in doctrinam,	1 [For the choirmaster Tune: 'Do not destroy' Of David In a quiet voice When Saul sent men to watchDavid's house in order to have him killed] Rescue me from my enemies, my God, be my stronghold from myassailants,
2 cum succendit Mesopotamiam Syriæ et Sobal, et convertit Joab, et percussit Idumæam in valle Salinarum duodecim millia.	2 rescue me from evil-doers, from men of violence save me.
3 Deus, repulisti nos, et destruxisti nos ; iratus es, et misertus es nobis.	3 Look at them, lurking to ambush me, violent men are attacking me, for no fault, no sin of mine,Yahweh,
4 Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam ; sana contritiones ejus, quia commota est.	4 for no guilt, they come running to take up position. Wake up, stand by me and keep watch,
5 Ostendisti populo tuo dura ; potasti nos vino compunctionis.	5 Yahweh, God of Sabaoth, God of Israel, rise up, to punish al the nations, show no mercy to all thesemalicious traitors.Pause
6 Dedisti metuentibus te significationem, ut fugiant a facie arcus ; ut liberentur dilecti tui.	6 Back they come at nightfall, snarling like curs, prowling through the town.
7 Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.	7 Look how they rant in speech with swords on their lips, 'Who is there to hear us?'
8 Deus locutus est in sancto suo : lætabor, et partibor Sichimam ; et convallem tabernaculorum metibor.	8 For your part, Yahweh, you laugh at them, you make mockery of all nations.
9 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses ; et Ephraim fortitudo capitis mei. Juda rex meus ;	9 My strength, I keep my eyes fixed on you. For my stronghold is God,
10 Moab olla spei meæ. In Idumæam extendam calceamentum meum : mihi alienigenæ subditi sunt.	10 the God who loves me faithfully is coming to meet me, God will let me feast my eyes on those who liein wait for me.
11 Quis deducet me in civitatem munitam ? quis deducet me usque in Idumæam ?	11 Do not annihilate them, or my people may forget; shake them in your power, bring them low, Lord,our shield.
12 nonne tu, Deus, qui repulisti nos ? et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris ?	12 Sin is in their mouths, sin on their lips, so let them be trapped in their pride for the curses and lies thatthey utter.
13 Da nobis auxilium de tribulatione, quia vana salus hominis.	13 Destroy them in your anger, destroy them til they are no more, and let it be known that God is Masterin Jacob and the whole wide world.Pause
14 In Deo faciemus virtutem ; et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos.	14 Back they come at nightfal , snarling like curs, prowling through the town,
	15 scavenging for something to eat, growling unless they have their fil .
	16 And so I wil sing of your strength, in the morning acclaim your faithful love; you have been astronghold for me, a refuge when I was in trouble.
	17 My strength, I wil make music for you, for my stronghold is God, the God who loves me faithful y.
