ಕೀರ್ತನೆಗಳು 58
1 ೧ ಪ್ರಧಾನಗಾಯಕನ ಕೀರ್ತನ ಸಂಗ್ರಹದಿಂದ ಆರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡದ್ದು; ಅಲ್ತಷ್ಖೇತೆಂಬ ರಾಗ; ದಾವೀದನ ಕಾವ್ಯ. ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳೇ, ನೀವು ಕೊಡುವ ತೀರ್ಪುಗಳು ನೀತಿಗನುಸಾರವಾಗಿವೆಯೋ? ಜನರ ವ್ಯಾಜ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ನ್ಯಾಯಯುತವಾಗಿ ಬಗೆಹರಿಸುತ್ತಿರೋ?
Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title. If in very deed you speak justice: judge right things, ye sons of men.
For in your heart you work iniquity: your hands forge injustice in the earth.
The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: they have spoken false things.
Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears:
Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely.
God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions.
They shall come to nothing, like water running down; he hath bent his bow till they be weakened.
Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: fire hath fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun.
9 ೯ ಇನ್ನೂ ಹಸಿರಿರುರುವಾಗಲೇ ಒಲೆಗೆ ಹಾಕಿದ ಮುಳ್ಳಿನ ಕೊಂಪೆಯನ್ನು ಬಿರುಗಾಳಿಯು ಹಾರಿಸಿಬಿಡುವಂತೆ ದೇವರ ಉಗ್ರಕೋಪವು ಅವರನ್ನು ನಿಶ್ಶೇಷಮಾಡಲಿ.
Before your thorns could know the brier; he swalloweth them up, as alive, in his wrath.
The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
And man shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: there is indeed a God that judgeth them on the earth.
