57:1 Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title.
In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem.

57:2 If in very deed you speak justice: judge right things, ye sons of men.
Si vere utique justitiam loquimini, recta judicate, filii hominum.

57:3 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.

57:4 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.

57:5 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,

57:6 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.

57:7 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.

57:8 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.

57:9 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.

57:10 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.

57:11 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.

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