لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ – عَلَى لَا تُهْلِكْ. مُذَهَّبَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ أَحَقّاً تَنْطِقُونَ بِالْحَقِّ أَيُّهَا الْحُكَّامُ، وَتَقْضُونَ بِالاسْتِقَامَةِ يَا بَنِي الْبَشَرِ؟ ١ 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?
لا! إِنَّمَا تُضْمِرُونَ الْبَاطِلَ فِي الْقَلْبِ وَتَرْتَكِبُ أَيْدِيكُمُ الظُّلْمَ فِي الأَرْضِ. ٢ 2
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
زَاغَ الأَشْرَارُ وَهُمْ مَا بَرِحُوا فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ، وَضَلُّوا نَاطِقِينَ بِالْكَذِبِ مُنْذُ أَنْ وُلِدُوا. ٣ 3
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
فِيهِمْ سُمٌّ كَسُمِّ الْحَيَّاتِ، يَسُدُّونَ آذَانَهُمْ كَالأَفَاعِي الصَّمَّاءِ، ٤ 4
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
الَّتِي لَا تَسْمَعُ لِصَوْتِ الْحُوَاةِ، وَلَا لِصَوْتِ السَّاحِرِ الْمَاهِرِ. ٥ 5
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
هَشِّمْ أَسْنَانَهُمْ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ يَا اللهُ. حَطِّمْ أَنْيَابَ الأَشْبَالِ. ٦ 6
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
لِيَتَلاشَوْا كَالْمَاءِ الْمُرَاقِ، وَلْتَتَكَسَّرْ رُؤُوسُ سِهَامِهِمْ عِنْدَمَا يُصَوِّبُونَهَا. ٧ 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.
لِيَتَلاشَوْا مِثْلَ الْقَوَاقِعِ فِي أَثْنَاءِ زَحْفِهَا، وَكَالْجَنِينِ الْمُجْهَضِ لَا يُعَايِنُونَ الشَّمْسَ. ٨ 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.
وَقَبْلَ أَنْ تُحِسَّ قُدُورُكُمْ بِنَارِ الأَشْوَاكِ تَحْتَهَا، يَكْتَسِحُ اللهُ كَبِيرَهُمْ وَصَغِيرَهُمْ بِعَاصِفَةِ غَضَبِهِ، ٩ 9
Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
يَفْرَحُ الأَبْرَارُ حِينَ يَرَوْنَ عِقَابَ الأَشْرَارِ، وَيَغْسِلُونَ أَقْدَامَهُمْ بِدَمِهِمْ. ١٠ 10
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
فَيَقُولُ النَّاسُ: «حَقّاً إِنَّ للِصِّدِّيقِ مُكَافَأَةً، وَإِنَّ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلَهاً يَقْضِي». ١١ 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.
