Psalm 58

Wycliffe WYC

1 To victory, lose thou not the sweet song, either the seemly psalm, of David. Forsooth if ye speak rightfulness verily; ye sons of men, deem rightfully. (To victory, destroy thou not the sweet song, that is, the comely song, of David. Speak ye truly with righteousness, ye sons and daughters of men? judge ye justly? Nay!)

2 For in heart ye work wickedness in earth; your hands make ready unrightfulnesses. (For in your hearts ye do evil; and your hands bring forth unrightfulnesses, or wickedness, in all the earth.)

3 Sinners were made aliens from the womb (Sinners, or evil-doers, go wrong from the womb); they erred from the womb, they spake false things.

4 Strong vengeance is to them, by the likeness of a serpent; as of a deaf snake, and stopping his ears. (Strong venom cometh forth from them, like that of serpents; and they be like a deaf snake that stoppeth its ears.)

5 Which shall not hear the voice of charmers; and of a venom-maker charming (ever so) wisely.

6 God shall all-break the teeth of them in their mouth; the Lord shall break (al)together the great teeth of lions. (O God, break all the teeth in their mouths; O Lord, break all in pieces the great teeth of these lions.)

7 They shall come to nought, as water running away; he bent his bow, till they be made sick. (They shall come to nothing, like water running forth; and when they go to bend their bows, they shall be made feeble, or weak.)

8 As wax that floateth away, they shall be taken away; fire fell above, and they saw not the sun. (Like a snail that melteth away into slime, they shall be taken away; like a dead-born child, they shall not see the sun.)

9 Before that your thorns understood the rhamn, either thieve-thorn; he swalloweth them so in ire, as (with) living men. (Before that the rhamn, or the thieve-thorn, that is, a weed, can grow, he shall swallow them up in his anger; yea, while they still be living.)

10 The just man shall be glad, when he shall see vengeance; he shall wash his hands in the blood of a sinner. (The righteous shall be glad when they see the vengeance taken; they shall wash their hands in the blood of the sinners.)

11 And a man shall say truly, For fruit is to a just man; truly God is deeming them in earth. (And someone shall say, Truly there is a reward for the righteous; truly God is judging people here on earth.)

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 (57-1) <Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title.> (57-2) If in very deed ye speak justice: judge right things, ye sons of men.

2 (57-3) For in your heart you work iniquity: your hands forge injustice in the earth.

3 (57-4) The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: they have spoken false things.

4 (57-5) Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears:

5 (57-6) Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely.

6 (57-7) God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions.

7 (57-8) They shall come to nothing, like water running down; he hath bent his bow till they be weakened.

8 (57-9) Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: fire hath fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun.

9 (57-10) Before your thorns could know the brier; he swalloweth them up, as alive, in his wrath.

10 (57-11) The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.

11 (57-12) And man shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: there is indeed a God that judgeth them on the earth.
