Psalms 57

Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title.

In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem.

εἰς τὸ τέλος μὴ διαφθείρῃς τῷ Δαυιδ εἰς στηλογραφίαν

If in very deed ye speak justice: judge right things, ye sons of men.

Si vere utique justitiam loquimini, recta judicate, filii hominum.

εἰ ἀληθῶς ἄρα δικαιοσύνην λαλεῖτε εὐθεῖα κρίνετε οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων

For in your heart you work iniquity: your hands forge injustice in the earth.

Etenim in corde iniquitates operamini; in terra injustitias manus vestræ concinnant.

καὶ γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ ἀνομίας ἐργάζεσθε ἐν τῇ γῇ ἀδικίαν αἱ χεῖρες ὑμῶν συμπλέκουσιν

The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: they have spoken false things.

Alienati sunt peccatores a vulva; erraverunt ab utero : locuti sunt falsa.

ἀπηλλοτριώθησαν οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀπὸ μήτρας ἐπλανήθησαν ἀπὸ γαστρός ἐλάλησαν ψεύδη

Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears:

Furor illis secundum similitudinem serpentis, sicut aspidis surdæ et obturantis aures suas,

θυμὸς αὐτοῖς κατὰ τὴν ὁμοίωσιν τοῦ ὄφεως ὡσεὶ ἀσπίδος κωφῆς καὶ βυούσης τὰ ὦτα αὐτῆς

Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely.

quæ non exaudiet vocem incantantium, et venefici incantantis sapienter.

ἥτις οὐκ εἰσακούσεται φωνὴν ἐπᾳδόντων φαρμάκου τε φαρμακευομένου παρὰ σοφοῦ

God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions.

Deus conteret dentes eorum in ore ipsorum; molas leonum confringet Dominus.

ὁ θεὸς συνέτριψεν τοὺς ὀδόντας αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν τὰς μύλας τῶν λεόντων συνέθλασεν κύριος

They shall come to nothing, like water running down; he hath bent his bow till they be weakened.

Ad nihilum devenient tamquam aqua decurrens; intendit arcum suum donec infirmentur.

ἐξουδενωθήσονται ὡς ὕδωρ διαπορευόμενον ἐντενεῖ τὸ τόξον αὐτοῦ ἕως οὗ ἀσθενήσουσιν

Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: fire hath fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun.

Sicut cera quæ fluit auferentur; supercecidit ignis, et non viderunt solem.

ὡσεὶ κηρὸς ὁ τακεὶς ἀνταναιρεθήσονται ἐπέπεσε πῦρ καὶ οὐκ εἶδον τὸν ἥλιον

Before your thorns could know the brier; he swalloweth them up, as alive, in his wrath.

Priusquam intelligerent spinæ vestræ rhamnum, sicut viventes sic in ira absorbet eos.

πρὸ τοῦ συνιέναι τὰς ἀκάνθας ὑμῶν τὴν ῥάμνον ὡσεὶ ζῶντας ὡσεὶ ἐν ὀργῇ καταπίεται ὑμᾶς

The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.

Lætabitur justus cum viderit vindictam; manus suas lavabit in sanguine peccatoris.

εὐφρανθήσεται δίκαιος ὅταν ἴδῃ ἐκδίκησιν ἀσεβῶν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ νίψεται ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ

And man shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: there is indeed a God that judgeth them on the earth.

Et dicet homo : Si utique est fructus justo, utique est Deus judicans eos in terra.

καὶ ἐρεῖ ἄνθρωπος εἰ ἄρα ἔστιν καρπὸς τῷ δικαίῳ ἄρα ἐστὶν ὁ θεὸς κρίνων αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ γῇ
