Psalmorum 58
1 in finem ne disperdas David in tituli inscriptione si vere utique iustitiam loquimini recta iudicate filii hominum
For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial. If you do indeed speak righteousness, [then] do you judge rightly, you sons of men.
2 etenim in corde iniquitates operamini in terra iniustitiam manus vestrae concinnant
For you work iniquities in [your] hearts in the earth: your hands plot unrighteousness.
3 alienati sunt peccatores a vulva erraverunt ab utero locuti sunt falsa
Sinners have gone astray from the womb: they go astray from the belly: they speak lies.
4 furor illis secundum similitudinem serpentis sicut aspidis surdae et obturantis aures suas
Their venom is like [that] of a serpent; as [that] of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears;
5 quae non exaudiet vocem incantantium et venefici incantantis sapienter
which will not hear the voice of charmers, nor [heed] the charm prepared skillfully by the wise.
6 Deus conteret dentes eorum in ore ipsorum molas leonum confringet Dominus
God has crushed their teeth in their mouth: God has broken the cheek-teeth of the lions.
7 ad nihilum devenient tamquam aqua decurrens intendit arcum suum donec infirmentur
They shall utterly pass away like water running through: he shall bend his bow till they shall fail.
8 sicut cera quae fluit auferentur supercecidit ignis et non viderunt solem
They shall be destroyed as melted wax: the fire has fallen and they have not seen the sun.
9 priusquam intellegerent spinae vestrae ramnum sicut viventes sicut in ira absorbet vos
Before your thorns feel the white thorn, he shall swallow you up as living, as in his wrath.
10 laetabitur iustus cum viderit vindictam manus suas lavabit in sanguine peccatoris
The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
11 et dicet homo si utique est fructus iusto utique est Deus iudicans eos in terra
And a man shall say, Verily then there is a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judges them in the earth.
