56:11. For thy mercy is magnified even to the heavens: and thy truth
unto the clouds.
56:12. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above
all the earth.
Psalms Chapter 57
Si vere utique.
David reproveth the wicked, and foretelleth their punishment.
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.
57:3. For in your heart you work iniquity: your hands forge injustice in
the earth.
57:4. The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from
the womb: they have spoken false things.
57:5. Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: like the
deaf asp that stoppeth her ears:
57:6. Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; nor of the wizard
that charmeth wisely.
57:7. God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: the Lord
shall break the grinders of the lions.
57:8. They shall come to nothing, like water running down; he hath bent
his bow till they be weakened.
57:9. Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: fire hath fallen
on them, and they shall not see the sun.
57:10. Before your thorns could know the brier; he swalloweth them up,
as alive, in his wrath.
Before your thorns, etc... That is, before your thorns grow up, so as to
become strong briers, they shall be overtaken and consumed by divine
justice, swallowing them up, as it were, alive in his wrath.
57:11. The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: he shall
wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
Shall wash his hands, etc... Shall applaud the justice of God, and take
occasion from the consideration of the punishment of the wicked to wash
and cleanse his hands from sin.
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.
Psalms Chapter 58
Eripe me.
A prayer to be delivered from the wicked, with confidence in God's help
and protection. It agrees to Christ and his enemies the Jews.
58:1. Unto the end, destroy not, for David for an inscription of a
title, when Saul sent and watched his house to kill him. [1 Kings 19.]
58:2. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; and defend me from them that
rise up against me.
58:3. Deliver me from them that work iniquity, and save me from bloody
men.
58:4. For behold they have caught my soul: the mighty have rushed in
upon me:
58:5. Neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord: without iniquity
have I ren, and directed my steps.
58:6. Rise up thou to meet me, and behold: even thou, O Lord, the God of
hosts, the God of Israel. Attend to visit all the nations: have no mercy
on all them that work iniquity.
