Salmo 58

Nuova Riveduta 2006

di Società Biblica di Ginevra

Condanna per i giudici iniqui

1 Al direttore del coro. «Non distruggere». Inno di Davide. È proprio secondo giustizia che voi parlate, o potenti? Giudicate voi rettamente i figli degli uomini? 

2 Anzi, in cuor vostro commettete iniquità; nel paese, voi gettate nella bilancia la violenza delle vostre mani. 

3 Gli empi sono sviati fin dal grembo materno, i bugiardi sono traviati fin dalla nascita. 

4 Hanno veleno simile a quello di serpente, sono sordi come aspide che si tura le orecchie 

5 per non udire la voce degli incantatori, del mago esperto d’incantesimi. 

6 O Dio, spezza loro i denti in bocca; o Signore, fracassa le mascelle dei leoni! 

7 Si disperdano come acqua che scorre via; possano tirare solo frecce spuntate. 

8 Siano come lumaca che si scioglie strisciando; come aborto di donna, non vedano il sole. 

9 Prima che le vostre pentole sentano il fuoco del rovo, verde o acceso che sia il legno, lo porti via la bufera. 

10 Il giusto si rallegrerà nel vedere la punizione, si laverà i piedi nel sangue dell’empio, 

11 e la gente dirà: «Certo, vi è una ricompensa per il giusto; certo, c’è un Dio che fa giustizia sulla terra!»

Salmo 58

Elberfelder Bibel

Psalm 58

1 Dem Chorleiter. ⟨Nach der Melodie:⟩ »Verdirb nicht!« Von David. Ein Miktam. 

2 Redet ihr wirklich Gerechtigkeit, Götter? Richtet ihr in Geradheit die Menschenkinder? (Sal 82,1; Ec 3,16) 

3 Sogar im Herzen übt ihr Ungerechtigkeiten; der Gewalttat eurer Hände brecht ihr Bahn im Land. (Sal 55,10; Mi 2,1; Mat 15,19) 

4 Abgewichen sind die Gottlosen von Mutterschoß an, es irren vom Mutterleib an die Lügenredner. (Gen 8,21; Sal 51,7) 

5 Gift haben sie gleich Schlangengift, wie eine taube Viper, die ihr Ohr verschließt, (Sal 140,4; Giac 3,8) 

6 dass sie nicht hört auf die Stimme der Beschwörer, des Zauberers, der die Zaubersprüche beherrscht. (Ger 8,17) 

7 Zerschmettere, Gott, ihre Zähne in ihrem Maul, brich aus das Gebiss der Junglöwen, HERR! (Sal 3,8) 

8 Sie sollen zergehen wie Wasser, das verrinnt! Legt er seine Pfeile an, ⟨so seien sie⟩ wie abgeknickt. 

9 Wie die Schnecke zerschmelzend dahingeht, ⟨so⟩ einer Frau Fehlgeburt, welche nie die Sonne erblickt! (Giob 3,16) 

10 Bevor eure Töpfe den Dornstrauch merken – ob grün oder Glut, er wird ihn fortwirbeln! (Prov 10,25) 

11 Freuen wird sich der Gerechte, wenn er die Rache anschaut; er watet im Blut des Gottlosen. (Sal 52,8; Sal 68,24; Sal 107,42) 

12 Und der Mensch soll sagen: Es gibt doch Lohn für den Gerechten; es gibt doch einen Gott, der auf Erden richtet. (Sal 94,15; Prov 11,31; Is 3,10; Mal 3,18)

Salmo 58

English Standard Version

di Crossway

God Who Judges the Earth

1 To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David. Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods? Do you judge the children of man uprightly? (Sal 16,1; Sal 57,1) 

2 No, in your hearts you devise wrongs; your hands deal out violence on earth. (Sal 94,20) 

3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies. (Sal 51,5; Is 48,8) 

4 They have venom like the venom of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops its ear, (De 32,33; Sal 140,3) 

5 so that it does not hear the voice of charmers or of the cunning enchanter. (Ger 8,17) 

6 O God, break the teeth in their mouths; tear out the fangs of the young lions, O Lord! (Giob 4,10; Giob 29,17; Sal 3,7) 

7 Let them vanish like water that runs away; when he aims his arrows, let them be blunted. (Gios 7,5; Sal 64,3; Sal 112,10) 

8 Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime, like the stillborn child who never sees the sun. (Giob 3,16; Sal 58,7) 

9 Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns, whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away! (Giob 27,21; Sal 118,12; Prov 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; Giob 22,19; Sal 68,23) 

11 Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth.” (Gen 18,25; Giob 19,29; Sal 67,4; Sal 94,2; Ec 12,14; Is 3,10)

Salmo 58

King James Version

1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David. Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? 

2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. 

3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. 

4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; 

5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely. 

6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD. 

7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces. 

8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun. 

9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath. 

10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 

11 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
