תהילים 58

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ אַל־תַּשְׁחֵת לְדָוִד מִכְתָּֽם׃ הַאֻמְנָם אֵלֶם צֶדֶק תְּדַבֵּרוּן מֵישָׁרִים תִּשְׁפְּטוּ בְּנֵי אָדָֽם׃

DO ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

2 אַף־בְּלֵב עוֹלֹת תִּפְעָלוּן בָּאָרֶץ חֲמַס יְדֵיכֶם תְּפַלֵּסֽוּן׃

Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.

3 זֹרוּ רְשָׁעִים מֵרָחֶם תָּעוּ מִבֶּטֶן דֹּבְרֵי כָזָֽב׃

The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

4 חֲמַת־לָמוֹ כִּדְמוּת חֲמַת־נָחָשׁ כְּמוֹ־פֶתֶן חֵרֵשׁ יַאְטֵם אׇזְנֽוֹ׃

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

5 אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־יִשְׁמַע לְקוֹל מְלַחֲשִׁים חוֹבֵר חֲבָרִים מְחֻכָּֽם׃

Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

6 אֱֽלֹהִים הֲרׇס־שִׁנֵּימֽוֹ בְּפִימוֹ מַלְתְּעוֹת כְּפִירִים נְתֹץ ׀ יְהֹוָֽה׃

Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord.

7 יִמָּאֲסוּ כְמוֹ־מַיִם יִתְהַלְּכוּ־לָמוֹ יִדְרֹךְ חִצָּו כְּמוֹ יִתְמֹלָֽלוּ׃

Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.

8 כְּמוֹ שַׁבְּלוּל תֶּמֶס יַהֲלֹךְ נֵפֶל אֵשֶׁת בַּל־חָזוּ שָֽׁמֶשׁ׃

As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

9 בְּטֶרֶם ׀ יָבִינוּ סִּירֹתֵכֶם אָטָד כְּמוֹ־חַי כְּמוֹ־חָרוֹן יִשְׂעָרֶֽנּוּ׃

Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.

10 יִשְׂמַח צַדִּיק כִּי־חָזָה נָקָם פְּעָמָיו יִרְחַץ בְּדַם הָרָשָֽׁע׃

The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

11 וְיֹאמַר אָדָם אַךְ־פְּרִי לַצַּדִּיק אַךְ יֵשׁ־אֱלֹהִים שֹׁפְטִים בָּאָֽרֶץ׃

So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
