Psalms 58

1 For the leader. Al tashheth. Of David. A michtam. Do you speak what is right, you gods? With equity judge you your people?

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？

2 In the land you practise iniquity – all of you; violence do you dispense with your hands.

不然！你們是心中作惡； 你們在地上秤出你們手所行的強暴。

3 The wicked go astray from the womb liars take the wrong path from their birth.

惡人一出母胎就與上帝疏遠， 一離母腹便走錯路，說謊話。

4 Venom have they like the venom of snakes, they are like the deaf adder that stops her ears,

他們的毒氣好像蛇的毒氣； 他們好像塞耳的聾虺，

5 and refuses to listen to the voice of the charmer, or binder of spells, no matter how cunning.

不聽行法術的聲音， 雖用極靈的咒語也是不聽。

6 O God, break to pieces the teeth in their mouth, tear out the great teeth of the young lions, Lord.

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！

7 May they melt away like running water! Like tender grass, cut down may they be!

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。

8 Like the snail that dissolves on its crawling path, like the birth untimely which sees not the sunlight.

願他們像蝸牛消化過去， 又像婦人墜落未見天日的胎。

9 Faster than a thorn-fire heats your pots, he will come with his tempest and sweep them away.

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。

10 The sight of such vengeance will gladden the righteous; their feet they will wash in the blood of the wicked.

義人見仇敵遭報就歡喜， 要在惡人的血中洗腳。

11 People will say, ‘Yes, the just are rewarded: yes, on the earth is a God who is Judge.’

因此，人必說：義人誠然有善報； 在地上果有施行判斷的上帝！
