< תהילים 58 >
לַמְנַצֵּחַ אַל־תַּשְׁחֵת לְדָוִד מִכְתָּֽם׃ הַֽאֻמְנָם אֵלֶם צֶדֶק תְּדַבֵּרוּן מֵישָׁרִים תִּשְׁפְּטוּ בְּנֵי אָדָֽם׃ | 1 |
For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam. Do ye indeed in silence speak righteousness? Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
אַף־בְּלֵב עוֹלֹת תִּפְעָלוּן בָּאָרֶץ חֲמַס יְדֵיכֶם תְּפַלֵּֽסֽוּן׃ | 2 |
Nay, in heart ye work wickedness; Ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
זֹרוּ רְשָׁעִים מֵרָחֶם תָּעוּ מִבֶּטֶן דֹּבְרֵי כָזָֽב׃ | 3 |
The wicked are estranged from the womb: They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
חֲמַת־לָמוֹ כִּדְמוּת חֲמַת־נָחָשׁ כְּמוֹ־פֶתֶן חֵרֵשׁ יַאְטֵם אָזְנֽוֹ׃ | 4 |
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [They are] like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear,
אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִשְׁמַע לְקוֹל מְלַחֲשִׁים חוֹבֵר חֲבָרִים מְחֻכָּֽם׃ | 5 |
Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, Charming never so wisely.
אֱֽלֹהִים הֲרָס־שִׁנֵּימוֹ בְּפִימוֹ מַלְתְּעוֹת כְּפִירִים נְתֹץ ׀ יְהוָֽה׃ | 6 |
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: Break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.
יִמָּאֲסוּ כְמוֹ־מַיִם יִתְהַלְּכוּ־לָמוֹ יִדְרֹךְ חצו חִצָּיו כְּמוֹ יִתְמֹלָֽלוּ׃ | 7 |
Let them melt away as water that runneth apace: When he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
כְּמוֹ שַׁבְּלוּל תֶּמֶס יַהֲלֹךְ נֵפֶל אֵשֶׁת בַּל־חָזוּ שָֽׁמֶשׁ׃ | 8 |
[Let them be] as a snail which melteth and passeth away, [Like] the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun.
בְּטֶרֶם יָבִינוּ סִּֽירֹתֵיכֶם אָטָד כְּמוֹ־חַי כְּמוֹ־חָרוֹן יִשְׂעָרֶֽנּוּ׃ | 9 |
Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.
יִשְׂמַח צַדִּיק כִּי־חָזָה נָקָם פְּעָמָיו יִרְחַץ בְּדַם הָרָשָֽׁע׃ | 10 |
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;
וְיֹאמַר אָדָם אַךְ־פְּרִי לַצַּדִּיק אַךְ יֵשׁ־אֱלֹהִים שֹׁפְטִים בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ | 11 |
So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
