< Psalms 58 >

1 To the Overseer. — 'Destroy not.' — A secret treasure, by David. Is it true, O dumb one, righteously ye speak? Uprightly ye judge, O sons of men?
To the choirmaster al-tashcheth of David a miktam. ¿ Really silence righteousness do you speak! uprightness do you judge? [the] children of humankind.
2 Even in heart ye work iniquities, In the land the violence of your hands ye ponder.
Also in [the] heart injustice you do! in the land [the] violence of hands your you weigh out!
3 The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.
They turn aside wicked [people] from [the] womb they go astray from [the] belly [those who] speak falsehood.
4 Their poison [is] as poison of a serpent, As a deaf asp shutting its ear,
Venom of them [is] like [the] likeness of [the] venom of a snake like a cobra deaf [which] it shuts ear its.
5 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of charms most skilful.
Which not it listens to [the] sound of charmers [one who] casts spells skillful.
6 O God, break their teeth in their mouth, The jaw-teeth of young lions break down, O Jehovah.
O God break away teeth their in mouth their [the] teeth of young lions break off - O Yahweh.
7 They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceedeth as they cut themselves off.
May they flow like waters [which] they go about themselves may he bend (arrows his *Q(K)*) like let them be cut off.
8 As a snail that melteth he goeth on, [As] an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun.
Like a snail [which] melting away it goes a miscarriage of a woman [which] not they have seen [the] sun.
9 Before your pots discern the bramble, As well the raw as the heated He whirleth away.
Before they will perceive pots your a thorn bush like alive like burning he will blow away it.
10 The righteous rejoiceth that he hath seen vengeance, His steps he washeth in the blood of the wicked.
He will rejoice [the] righteous if he has seen vengeance feet his he will bathe in [the] blood of the wicked.
11 And man saith: 'Surely fruit [is] for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!'
So he may say anyone surely fruit [belongs] to the righteous surely there [is] a God [who] judges on the earth.
