< תהילים 58 >
לַמְנַצֵּחַ אַל־תַּשְׁחֵת לְדָוִד מִכְתָּֽם׃ הַֽאֻמְנָם אֵלֶם צֶדֶק תְּדַבֵּרוּן מֵישָׁרִים תִּשְׁפְּטוּ בְּנֵי אָדָֽם׃ | 1 |
To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme of David on Michtam. Is it true? O Congregation, speake ye iustly? O sonnes of men, iudge ye vprightly?
אַף־בְּלֵב עוֹלֹת תִּפְעָלוּן בָּאָרֶץ חֲמַס יְדֵיכֶם תְּפַלֵּֽסֽוּן׃ | 2 |
Yea, rather ye imagine mischiefe in your heart: your hands execute crueltie vpon the earth.
זֹרוּ רְשָׁעִים מֵרָחֶם תָּעוּ מִבֶּטֶן דֹּבְרֵי כָזָֽב׃ | 3 |
The wicked are strangers from ye wombe: euen from the belly haue they erred, and speake lyes.
חֲמַת־לָמוֹ כִּדְמוּת חֲמַת־נָחָשׁ כְּמוֹ־פֶתֶן חֵרֵשׁ יַאְטֵם אָזְנֽוֹ׃ | 4 |
Their poyson is euen like the poyson of a serpent: like ye deafe adder that stoppeth his eare.
אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִשְׁמַע לְקוֹל מְלַחֲשִׁים חוֹבֵר חֲבָרִים מְחֻכָּֽם׃ | 5 |
Which heareth not the voyce of the inchanter, though he be most expert in charming.
אֱֽלֹהִים הֲרָס־שִׁנֵּימוֹ בְּפִימוֹ מַלְתְּעוֹת כְּפִירִים נְתֹץ ׀ יְהוָֽה׃ | 6 |
Breake their teeth, O God, in their mouthes: breake the iawes of the yong lions, O Lord.
יִמָּאֲסוּ כְמוֹ־מַיִם יִתְהַלְּכוּ־לָמוֹ יִדְרֹךְ חצו חִצָּיו כְּמוֹ יִתְמֹלָֽלוּ׃ | 7 |
Let them melt like the waters, let them passe away: when hee shooteth his arrowes, let them be as broken.
כְּמוֹ שַׁבְּלוּל תֶּמֶס יַהֲלֹךְ נֵפֶל אֵשֶׁת בַּל־חָזוּ שָֽׁמֶשׁ׃ | 8 |
Let them consume like a snayle that melteth, and like the vntimely fruite of a woman, that hath not seene the sunne.
בְּטֶרֶם יָבִינוּ סִּֽירֹתֵיכֶם אָטָד כְּמוֹ־חַי כְּמוֹ־חָרוֹן יִשְׂעָרֶֽנּוּ׃ | 9 |
As raw flesh before your pots feele the fire of thornes: so let him cary them away as with a whirlewinde in his wrath.
יִשְׂמַח צַדִּיק כִּי־חָזָה נָקָם פְּעָמָיו יִרְחַץ בְּדַם הָרָשָֽׁע׃ | 10 |
The righteous shall reioyce when he seeeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feete in the blood of the wicked.
וְיֹאמַר אָדָם אַךְ־פְּרִי לַצַּדִּיק אַךְ יֵשׁ־אֱלֹהִים שֹׁפְטִים בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ | 11 |
And men shall say, Verily there is fruite for the righteous: doutlesse there is a God that iudgeth in the earth.
