Psalmi 58
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Zar doista krojite pravdu, vi moćni, zar sudite pravo, sinovi ljudski?
For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam. Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company? Do ye judge with equity the sons of men?
2 Ne, već bezakonje smišljeno činite, po zemlji vam ruke dijele nepravde.
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.
3 Na krivu su putu bezbošci od krila majčina, na krivu su putu lašci od utrobe.
The wicked are estranged from the womb; the speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.
4 U njima je otrov kao u zmije, kao u ljutice što uši začepljuje
Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; they are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;
5 da glas čarobnjakov ne čuje ni glas bajača vješta bajanju.
Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, or of the most cunning binder of spells.
6 O Bože, polomi im zube u ustima; razbij, o Jahve, čeljusti lavićima!
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
7 K'o vode što hitro otječu neka se razliju, k'o zgažena trava neka se osuše.
Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
8 Nek' budu k'o puž koji se pužuć' rastoči, k'o pometnut plot nek' sunca ne vide.
Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun.
9 Prije nego vam kotlovi trnje osjete, dok je zeleno, neka ga vihor odnese.
Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.
10 Radostan će biti pravednik kad ugleda odmazdu, noge će prati u krvi zlotvora.
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 I reći će ljudi: “Pravednik plod svoj ima! Još ima Boga da sudi na zemlji!”
And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.'
