Psalmi 58
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Zar doista krojite pravdu, vi moćni, zar sudite pravo, sinovi ljudski?
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David. Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2 Ne, već bezakonje smišljeno činite, po zemlji vam ruke dijele nepravde.
Yes, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3 Na krivu su putu bezbošci od krila majčina, na krivu su putu lašci od utrobe.
The wicked are estranged from their birth: they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
4 U njima je otrov kao u zmije, kao u ljutice što uši začepljuje
Their poison [is] like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder [that] stoppeth her ear;
5 da glas čarobnjakov ne čuje ni glas bajača vješta bajanju.
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
6 O Bože, polomi im zube u ustima; razbij, o Jahve, čeljusti lavićima!
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great 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 waters [which] run continually: [when] he bendeth [his bow to shoot] his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8 Nek' budu k'o puž koji se pužuć' rastoči, k'o pometnut plot nek' sunca ne vide.
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 Prije nego vam kotlovi trnje osjete, dok je zeleno, neka ga vihor odnese.
Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in [his] wrath.
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!”
So that a man shall say, Verily [there is] a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
