Psalmorum 59
1 In finem, Ne disperdas, David in tituli inscriptionem, quando misit Saul, et custodivit domum eius, ut eum interficeret. Eripe me de inimicis meis Deus meus: et ab insurgentibus in me libera me.
For the end. Destroy not: by David for a memorial, when Saul sent, and watched his house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O God; and ransom me from those that rise up against me.
2 Eripe me de operantibus iniquitatem: et de viris sanguinum salva me.
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3 Quia ecce ceperunt animam meam: irruerunt in me fortes.
For, behold, they have hunted after my soul; violent men have set upon me: neither [is it] my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord.
4 Neque iniquitas mea, neque peccatum meum Domine: sine iniquitate cucurri, et direxi.
Without iniquity I ran and directed [my course aright]: awake to help me, and behold.
5 Exurge in occursum meum, et vide: et tu Domine Deus virtutum, Deus Israel, Intende ad visitandas omnes gentes: non miserearis omnibus, qui operantur iniquitatem.
And you, Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, draw near to visit all the heathen; pity not any that work iniquity. (Pause)
6 Convertentur ad vesperam: et famem patientur ut canes, et circuibunt civitatem.
They shall return at evening, and hunger like a dog, and go round about the city.
7 Ecce loquentur in ore suo, et gladius in labiis eorum: quoniam quis audivit?
Behold, they shall utter a voice with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips; for who, [say they], has heard?
8 Et tu Domine deridebis eos: ad nihilum deduces omnes Gentes.
But you, Lord, will laugh them to scorn; you will utterly set at nothing all the heathen.
9 Fortitudinem meam ad te custodiam, quia Deus susceptor meus es:
will keep my strength, [looking] to you; for you, O God, are my helper.
10 Deus meus misericordia eius præveniet me.
[As for] my God, his mercy shall go before me: my God will show me [vengeance] on mine enemies.
11 Deus ostendet mihi super inimicos meos, ne occidas eos: nequando obliviscantur populi mei. Disperge illos in virtute tua: et depone eos protector meus Domine:
Slay them not, lest they forget your law; scatter them by your power; and bring them down, O Lord, my defender.
12 Delictum oris eorum, sermonem labiorum ipsorum: et comprehendantur in superbia sua. Et de execratione et mendacio annuntiabuntur
[For] the sin of their mouth, [and] the word of their lips, let them be even taken in their pride.
13 in consummatione: in ira consummationis, et non erunt. Et scient quia Deus dominabitur Iacob: et finium terræ.
And for [their] cursing and falsehood shall utter destruction be denounced: [they shall fall] by the wrath of utter destruction, and shall not be; so shall they know that the God of Jacob is Lord of the ends of the earth. (Pause)
14 Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes: et circuibunt civitatem.
They shall return at evening, and be hungry as a dog, and go round about the city.
15 Ipsi dispergentur ad manducandum: si vero non fuerint saturati, et murmurabunt.
They shall be scattered hither and there for meat; and if they be not satisfied, they shall even murmur.
16 Ego autem cantabo fortitudinem tuam: et exultabo mane misericordiam tuam. Quia factus es susceptor meus, et refugium meum, in die tribulationis meæ.
But I will sing to your strength, and in the morning will I exult [in] your mercy; for you have been my supporter, and my refuge in the day of mine affliction.
17 Adiutor meus tibi psallam, quia Deus susceptor meus es: Deus meus misericordia mea.
[You are] my helper; to you, my God, will I sing; you are my supporter, O my God, [and] my mercy.
