תהילים 58

1 למנצח אל-תשחת לדוד מכתם ב האמנם--אלם צדק תדברון מישרים תשפטו בני אדם

To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. Michtam. Of David. Is there righteousness in your mouths, O you gods? are you upright judges, O you sons of men?

2 אף-בלב עולת תפעלון בארץ--חמס ידיכם תפלסון

The purposes of your hearts are evil; your hands are full of cruel doings on the earth.

3 זרו רשעים מרחם תעו מבטן דברי כזב

The evil-doers are strange from the first; from the hour of their birth they go out of the true way, saying false words.

4 חמת-למו כדמות חמת-נחש כמו-פתן חרש יאטם אזנו

Their poison is like the poison of a snake; they are like the adder, whose ears are shut;

5 אשר לא-ישמע לקול מלחשים חובר חברים מחכם

Who will not be moved by the voice of the wonder-worker, however great are his powers.

6 אלהים--הרס שנימו בפימו מלתעות כפירים נתץ יהוה

O God, let their teeth be broken in their mouths; let the great teeth of the young lions be pulled out, O Lord.

7 ימאסו כמו-מים יתהלכו-למו ידרך חצו כמו יתמללו

Let them be turned to liquid like the ever-flowing waters; let them be cut off like the grass by the way.

8 כמו שבלול תמס יהלך נפל אשת בל-חזו שמש

Let them be like an after-birth which is turned to water and comes to an end; like the fruit of a woman who gives birth before her time, let them not see the sun.

9 בטרם יבינו סירתכם אטד כמו-חי כמו-חרון ישערנו

Before they are conscious of it, let them be cut down like thorns; let a strong wind take them away like waste growth.

10 ישמח צדיק כי-חזה נקם פעמיו ירחץ בדם הרשע

The upright man will be glad when he sees their punishment; his feet will be washed in the blood of the evil-doer.

11 ויאמר אדם אך-פרי לצדיק אך יש-אלהים שפטים בארץ

So that men will say, Truly there is a reward for righteousness; truly there is a God who is judge on the earth.
