Neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord: * without iniquity have I run, and directed my steps.

Behold they shall speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: * for who, say they, hath heard us?

9. Et tu, Dómine, deridébis eos: * ad níhilum dedúces omnes Gentes.

But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them: * thou shalt bring all the nations to nothing.

Psalmus 58 (12,18)

God shall let me see over my enemies: slay them not, * lest at any time my people forget.

2. Dispérge illos in virtúte tua: * et depóne eos, protéctor meus, Dómine:

And scatter them by thy power; * and bring them down, O Lord, my protector:

3. Delíctum oris eórum, sermónem labiórum ipsórum: * et comprehendántur in supérbia sua.

For the sin of their mouth, and the word of their lips: * and let them be taken in their pride.

4. Et de exsecratióne et mendácio annuntiabúntur in consummatióne: * in ira consummatiónis, et non erunt.

And for their cursing and lying they shall be talked of, when they are consumed: * when they are consumed by thy wrath, and they shall be no more.
