1 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.

58:1 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.

2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

3 Eripe me de operantibus iniquitatem,
et de viris sanguinum salva me.

3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.

4 Quia ecce ceperunt animam meam;
irruerunt in me fortes.

4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.

5 Neque iniquitas mea, neque peccatum meum, Domine;
sine iniquitate cucurri, et direxi.

5 Thou therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.

6 Exsurge in occursum meum, et vide:
et tu, Domine Deus virtutum, Deus Israël,
intende ad visitandas omnes gentes:
non miserearis omnibus qui operantur iniquitatem.

6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

7 Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes:
et circuibunt civitatem.

7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

8 Ecce loquentur in ore suo,
et gladius in labiis eorum: quoniam quis audivit?

8 But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.

9 Et tu, Domine, deridebis eos;
ad nihilum deduces omnes gentes.

9 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.

10 Fortitudinem meam ad te custodiam,
quia, Deus, susceptor meus es:

10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

11 Deus meus misericordia ejus præveniet me.

11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

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:

12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.

13 delictum oris eorum, sermonem labiorum ipsorum;
et comprehendantur in superbia sua.
Et de execratione et mendacio annuntiabuntur

13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

14 in consummatione:
in ira consummationis, et non erunt.
Et scient quia Deus dominabitur Jacob, et finium terræ.

14 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

15 Convertentur ad vesperam, et famem patientur ut canes:
et circuibunt civitatem.

15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.

16 Ipsi dispergentur ad manducandum;
si vero non fuerint saturati, et murmurabunt.

16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

17 Ego autem cantabo fortitudinem tuam,
et exsultabo mane misericordiam tuam:
quia factus es susceptor meus,
et refugium meum in die tribulationis meæ.

17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.

18 Adjutor meus, tibi psallam,
quia Deus susceptor meus es;
Deus meus, misericordia mea.
