## Psalm 58 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

1. Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when Saul sent and watched his house, in order to execute him.
2. Rescue me from my enemies, my God, and free me from those who rise up against me.
3. Rescue me from those who work iniquity, and save me from men of blood.
4. For behold, they have seized my soul. The strong have rushed upon me.
5. And it is neither my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord. I have run and gone directly, without iniquity.
6. Rise up to meet me, and see: even you, O Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel. Reach out to visit all nations. Do not take pity on all those who work iniquity.
7. They will return toward evening, and they will suffer hunger like dogs, and they will wander around the city.
8. Behold, they will speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: “For who has heard us?”
9. And you, O Lord, will laugh at them. You will lead all the Gentiles to nothing.
10. I will guard my strength toward you, for you are God, my supporter.
11. My God, his mercy will precede me.
12. God will oversee my enemies for me. Do not slay them, lest at times my people may forget them. Scatter them by your virtue. And depose them, O Lord, my protector,
13. by the offense of their mouth and by the speech of their lips. And may they be caught in their arrogance. And, for their cursing and lying, they will be made known
14. at the consummation, in the fury of the consummation, and so they will be no more. And they will know that God will rule over Jacob, even to the ends of the earth.
15. They will return toward evening, and they will suffer hunger like dogs, and they will wander around the city.
16. They will be dispersed in order to gnaw, and truly, when they will not have been satisfied, they will murmur.
17. But I will sing your strength, and I will extol your mercy, in the morning. For you have been my supporter and my refuge in the day of my tribulation.
18. To you, my helper, I will sing psalms. For you are God, my supporter. My God is my mercy.

## Psalm 58 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592)

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 Israël, 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 præveniet 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 terræ.
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 meæ.
18. Adjutor meus, tibi psallam, quia Deus susceptor meus es; Deus meus, misericordia mea.
