תהילים 58
| למנצח אל תשחת לדוד מכתם האמנם אלם צדק תדברון מישרים תשפטו בני אדם׃ | 1 |
When you mighty men speak, you never say what is right; you never decide things about people justly [RHQ]!
| אף בלב עולת תפעלון בארץ חמס ידיכם תפלסון׃ | 2 |
No, in your inner beings you think only about doing what is wrong, and you commit violent crimes in this land [of Israel].
| זרו רשעים מרחם תעו מבטן דברי כזב׃ | 3 |
Wicked people do wrong things and tell lies from the time that they are born [DOU].
| חמת למו כדמות חמת נחש כמו פתן חרש יאטם אזנו׃ | 4 |
God, show in the heavens how great you are! And show your glory to people all over the earth! What wicked people say [injures people like] the venom of a snake [MET]; They refuse to listen to good advice, [as though they were] cobras that were deaf [MET]!
| אשר לא ישמע לקול מלחשים חובר חברים מחכם׃ | 5 |
As a result, [like a snake that does not respond when] a charmer plays a flute or when someone sings magic songs, [they do not pay attention when others rebuke them].
| אלהים הרס שנימו בפימו מלתעות כפירים נתץ יהוה׃ | 6 |
God, as for these enemies who [want to attack me like] young lions, break their teeth!
| ימאסו כמו מים יתהלכו למו ידרך חצו כמו יתמללו׃ | 7 |
Cause them to disappear like water disappears [in dry ground]! Cause the arrows that they shoot to have no (heads/sharp points)!
| כמו שבלול תמס יהלך נפל אשת בל חזו שמש׃ | 8 |
Cause them to become like snails that disappear in the slime; cause them to be like babies that are born dead!
| בטרם יבינו סירתיכם אטד כמו חי כמו חרון ישערנו׃ | 9 |
Get rid of them [as fast as] thornbushes are blown away [after they are cut] (OR, [as fast as] a fire heats a pot over burning thorns).
| ישמח צדיק כי חזה נקם פעמיו ירחץ בדם הרשע׃ | 10 |
Righteous people will rejoice when they see wicked people being punished as they deserve; they will wash their feet in the blood of wicked people.
| ויאמר אדם אך פרי לצדיק אך יש אלהים שפטים בארץ׃ | 11 |
[Then] people will say, “It is true that there is a reward for righteous people; and there is indeed a God who judges people justly here on the earth!”
