詩篇 58

1 大衛的金詩，交與伶長。調用休要毀壞。 世人哪，你們默然不語，真合公義嗎？ 施行審判，豈按正直嗎？

To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam. Is righteousness indeed silent? Do ye speak it? Do ye judge with equity, ye sons of men?

2 不然！你們是心中作惡； 你們在地上秤出你們手所行的強暴。

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

3 惡人一出母胎就與上帝疏遠， 一離母腹便走錯路，說謊話。

The wicked go astray from the womb; they err as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

4 他們的毒氣好像蛇的毒氣； 他們好像塞耳的聾虺，

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder which stoppeth her ear;

5 不聽行法術的聲音， 雖用極靈的咒語也是不聽。

Which doth not hearken to the voice of enchanters, of one charming ever so wisely.

6 上帝啊，求你敲碎他們口中的牙！ 耶和華啊，求你敲掉少壯獅子的大牙！

O God, break their teeth in their mouth; break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.

7 願他們消滅，如急流的水一般； 他們瞅準射箭的時候，願箭頭彷彿砍斷。

Let them melt away as waters that flow off; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as blunted:

8 願他們像蝸牛消化過去， 又像婦人墜落未見天日的胎。

Let them be as a snail that melteth as it passeth away; [like] the untimely birth of a woman, let them not see the sun.

9 你們用荊棘燒火，鍋還未熱， 他要用旋風把青的和燒着的一齊颳去。

Before your pots feel the thorns, green or burning, — they shall be whirled away.

10 義人見仇敵遭報就歡喜， 要在惡人的血中洗腳。

The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his footsteps in the blood of the wicked:

11 因此，人必說：義人誠然有善報； 在地上果有施行判斷的上帝！

And men shall say, Verily there is fruit for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
