Psalm 58

English Standard Version

from Crossway

God Who Judges the Earth

To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David.

1 Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods? Do you judge the children of man uprightly? 

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 7:1) 

9 Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns, whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away! (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

Nueva Versión Internacional

from Biblica

1 ¿Acaso ustedes, gobernantes, actúan con justicia, y juzgan con rectitud a los seres humanos? 

2 Al contrario, con la mente traman injusticia, y la violencia de sus manos se desata en el país. 

3 Los malvados se pervierten desde que nacen; desde el vientre materno se desvían los mentirosos. 

4 Su veneno es como el de las serpientes, como el de una cobra que se hace la sorda 

5 para no escuchar la música del mago, del diestro en encantamientos. 

6 Rómpeles, oh Dios, los dientes; ¡arráncales, Señor, los colmillos a esos leones! 

7 Que se escurran, como el agua entre los dedos; que se rompan sus flechas al tensar el arco. 

8 Que se disuelvan, como babosa rastrera; que no vean la luz, cual si fueran abortivos. 

9 Que sin darse cuenta, ardan como espinos; que el viento los arrastre, estén verdes o secos. 

10 Se alegrará el justo al ver la venganza, al empapar sus pies en la sangre del impío. 

11 Dirá entonces la gente: «Ciertamente los justos son recompensados; ciertamente hay un Dios que juzga en la tierra.»
