1 To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. Michtam. Of David. 2 \58:1\Is there righteousness in your mouths, O you gods? are you upright judges, O you sons of men?3 \58:2\The purposes of your hearts are evil; your hands are full of cruel doings on the earth.4 \58:3\The evil-doers are strange from the first; from the hour of their birth they go out of the true way, saying false words.5 \58:4\Their poison is like the poison of a snake; they are like the adder, whose ears are shut;6 \58:5\Who will not be moved by the voice of the wonder-worker, however great are his powers.7 \58:6\O God, let their teeth be broken in their mouths; let the great teeth of the young lions be pulled out, O Lord.8 \58:7\Let them be turned to liquid like the ever-flowing waters; let them be cut off like the grass by the way.9 \58:8\Let them be like an after-birth which is turned to water and comes to an end; like the fruit of a woman who gives birth before her time, let them not see the sun.10 \58:9\Before they are conscious of it, let them be cut down like thorns; let a strong wind take them away like waste growth.11 \58:10\The upright man will be glad when he sees their punishment; his feet will be washed in the blood of the evil-doer.12 \58:11\So that men will say, Truly there is a reward for righteousness; truly there is a God who is judge on the earth.

1 In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem, quando misit Saul et custodivit domum ejus ut eum interficeret. 2 [Eripe me de inimicis meis, Deus meus,et ab insurgentibus in me libera me.3 Eripe me de operantibus iniquitatem,et de viris sanguinum salva me.4 Quia ecce ceperunt animam meam ;irruerunt in me fortes.5 Neque iniquitas mea, neque peccatum meum, Domine ;sine iniquitate cucurri, et direxi.6 Exsurge in occursum meum, et vide :et tu, Domine Deus virtutum, Deus Isral,intende ad visitandas omnes gentes :non miserearis omnibus qui operantur iniquitatem.7 Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes :et circuibunt civitatem.8 Ecce loquentur in ore suo,et gladius in labiis eorum : quoniam quis audivit ?9 Et tu, Domine, deridebis eos ;ad nihilum deduces omnes gentes.10 Fortitudinem meam ad te custodiam,quia, Deus, susceptor meus es :11 Deus meus misericordia ejus prveniet me.12 Deus ostendet mihi super inimicos meos :ne occidas eos, nequando obliviscantur populi mei.Disperge illos in virtute tua,et depone eos, protector meus, Domine :13 delictum oris eorum, sermonem labiorum ipsorum ;et comprehendantur in superbia sua.Et de execratione et mendacio annuntiabuntur 14 in consummatione :in ira consummationis, et non erunt.Et scient quia Deus dominabitur Jacob, et finium terr.15 Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes :et circuibunt civitatem. 16 Ipsi dispergentur ad manducandum ;si vero non fuerint saturati, et murmurabunt.17 Ego autem cantabo fortitudinem tuam,et exsultabo mane misericordiam tuam :quia factus es susceptor meus,et refugium meum in die tribulationis me.18 Adjutor meus, tibi psallam,quia Deus susceptor meus es ;Deus meus, misericordia mea.]
