Psalm 58

English Standard Version

from Crossway
1 To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam[1] of David. Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods?[2] Do you judge the children of man uprightly? (Ps 16:1; Ps 57:1)2 No, in your hearts you devise wrongs; your hands deal out violence on earth. (Ps 94:20)3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies. (Ps 51:5; Isa 48:8)4 They have venom like the venom of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops its ear, (De 32:33; Ps 140:3)5 so that it does not hear the voice of charmers or of the cunning enchanter. (Jer 8:17)6 O God, break the teeth in their mouths; tear out the fangs of the young lions, O Lord! (Job 4:10; Job 29:17; Ps 3:7)7 Let them vanish like water that runs away; when he aims his arrows, let them be blunted. (Jos 7:5; Ps 64:3; Ps 112:10)8 Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime, like the stillborn child who never sees the sun. (Job 3:16; Ps 58:7)9 Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns, whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away![3] (Job 27:21; Ps 118:12; Pr 10:25; Ec 7:6)10 The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked. (De 32:43; Job 22:19; Ps 68:23)11 Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth.” (Ge 18:25; Job 19:29; Ps 67:4; Ps 94:2; Ec 12:14; Isa 3:10)

Psalm 58

from Biblica
1 你们做官长的主持公道吗? 你们的审判公正吗?2 不,你们心中图谋不义, 你们在地上行凶作恶。3 恶人生下来就步入歧途, 一出母胎就离开正道, 谎话连篇。4 他们像喷出毒液的毒蛇, 又像耳聋的眼镜蛇,5 任法师的邪术再高超, 也听不见他的咒语。6 上帝啊,求你敲碎他们的牙齿; 耶和华啊, 求你拔掉这些猛狮的利齿。7 愿他们如流水逝去, 愿他们弯弓搭箭时箭头折断。8 愿他们像蜗牛一样溶为烂泥, 又如流产的胎儿不见天日。9 刹那间, 荆棘还没有把锅烧热的工夫, 上帝必除灭他们。10 义人必因恶人遭报而欢欣, 并用恶人的血洗脚。11 这样,人们必说: “义人终有善报, 确实有一位审判天下的上帝。”
