Psalms 58

1 To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme of David on Michtam. Is it true? O Congregation, speake ye iustly? O sonnes of men, iudge ye vprightly?

達味金詩，交與樂官。調寄「莫要毀壞」。 判官們！你們是否真正出言公平？世人們！你們是否照理審斷案情？

2 Yea, rather ye imagine mischiefe in your heart: your hands execute crueltie vpon the earth.

可惜你們一心只想為非作惡，在地上你們的雙手只行宰割。

3 The wicked are strangers from ye wombe: euen from the belly haue they erred, and speake lyes.

作惡者一離母胎，即背離正路；說謊者一出母腹，即走入歧途。

4 Their poyson is euen like the poyson of a serpent: like ye deafe adder that stoppeth his eare.

他們滿懷的毒素有如蛇毒；他們又像塞住耳朵的聾蝮，

5 Which heareth not the voyce of the inchanter, though he be most expert in charming.

不聽巫士的言語，不隨靈妙的妖術。

6 Breake their teeth, O God, in their mouthes: breake the iawes of the yong lions, O Lord.

天主，求你把他們口中的牙齒搗爛，上主，求你把少壯獅子的牙床打斷。

7 Let them melt like the waters, let them passe away: when hee shooteth his arrowes, let them be as broken.

他們有如奔湍的急水流去，他們有如被踏的青草枯萎；

8 Let them consume like a snayle that melteth, and like the vntimely fruite of a woman, that hath not seene the sunne.

他們有如蝸牛爬過溶化消失，又如流產的胎兒不得親見天日！

9 As raw flesh before your pots feele the fire of thornes: so let him cary them away as with a whirlewinde in his wrath.

他們的鍋在未覺到荊火以前，願狂怒的烈風將他們全部吹散！

10 The righteous shall reioyce when he seeeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feete in the blood of the wicked.

義人看見大仇己報時，必然喜樂，他要在惡人的血中洗自己的腳。

11 And men shall say, Verily there is fruite for the righteous: doutlesse there is a God that iudgeth in the earth.

如此，眾人都說：「義人果然獲得了好的報酬，世上確有執行審判的天主！
