Psalms 58
1 To the choirmaster al-tashcheth of David a miktam. ¿ Really silence righteousness do you speak! uprightness do you judge? [the] children of humankind.
`In Ebreu thus, To victorie; `lese thou not the swete song, ether the semely salm, of Dauid. `In Jeroms translacioun thus, To the ouercomere, that thou lese not Dauid, meke and simple. Forsothe if ye speken riytfulnesse verili; ye sones of men, deme riytfuli.
2 Also in [the] heart injustice you do! in the land [the] violence of hands your you weigh out!
For in herte ye worchen wickidnesse in erthe; youre hondis maken redi vnriytfulnessis.
3 They turn aside wicked [people] from [the] womb they go astray from [the] belly [those who] speak falsehood.
Synneris weren maad aliens fro the wombe; thei erriden fro the wombe, thei spaken false thingis.
4 Venom of them [is] like [the] likeness of [the] venom of a snake like a cobra deaf [which] it shuts ear its.
Woodnesse is to hem, bi the licnesse of a serpent; as of a deef snake, and stoppynge hise eeris.
5 Which not it listens to [the] sound of charmers [one who] casts spells skillful.
Which schal not here the vois of charmeris; and of a venym makere charmynge wiseli.
6 O God break away teeth their in mouth their [the] teeth of young lions break off - O Yahweh.
God schal al to-breke the teeth of hem in her mouth; the Lord schal breke togidere the greet teeth of liouns.
7 May they flow like waters [which] they go about themselves may he bend (arrows his *Q(K)*) like let them be cut off.
Thei schulen come to nouyt, as water rennynge awei; he bente his bouwe, til thei ben maad sijk.
8 Like a snail [which] melting away it goes a miscarriage of a woman [which] not they have seen [the] sun.
As wexe that fletith awei, thei schulen be takun awei; fier felle aboue, and thei siyen not the sunne.
9 Before they will perceive pots your a thorn bush like alive like burning he will blow away it.
Bifore that youre thornes vndurstoden the ramne; he swolewith hem so in ire, as lyuynge men.
10 He will rejoice [the] righteous if he has seen vengeance feet his he will bathe in [the] blood of the wicked.
The iust man schal be glad, whanne he schal se veniaunce; he schal waische hise hondis in the blood of a synner.
11 So he may say anyone surely fruit [belongs] to the righteous surely there [is] a God [who] judges on the earth.
And a man schal seie treuli, For fruyt is to a iust man; treuli God is demynge hem in erthe.
