Psalm 58 | 聖經當代譯本修訂版

祈求上帝懲罰惡人

大衛作的詩,交給樂長,調用「休要毀壞」。

1 你們做官長的主持公道嗎? 你們的審判公正嗎? 2 不,你們心中圖謀不義, 你們在地上行兇作惡。 3 惡人生下來就步入歧途, 一出母胎就離開正道, 謊話連篇。 4 他們像噴出毒液的毒蛇, 又像耳聾的眼鏡蛇, 5 任法師的邪術再高超, 也聽不見他的咒語。 6 上帝啊,求你敲碎他們的牙齒; 耶和華啊, 求你拔掉這些猛獅的利齒。 7 願他們如流水逝去, 願他們彎弓搭箭時箭頭折斷。 8 願他們像蝸牛一樣溶為爛泥, 又如流產的胎兒不見天日。 9 刹那間, 荊棘還沒有把鍋燒熱的工夫, 上帝必除滅他們。 10 義人必因惡人遭報而歡欣, 並用惡人的血洗腳。 11 這樣,人們必說: 「義人終有善報, 確實有一位審判天下的上帝。」

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? 2 No, in your hearts you devise wrongs; your hands deal out violence on earth. 3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies. 4 They have venom like the venom of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops its ear, 5 so that it does not hear the voice of charmers or of the cunning enchanter. 6 O God, break the teeth in their mouths; tear out the fangs of the young lions, O Lord! 7 Let them vanish like water that runs away; when he aims his arrows, let them be blunted. 8 Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime, like the stillborn child who never sees the sun. 9 Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns, whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!* 10 The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked. 11 Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth.”
