Psalmi 58
1 Dāvida sirds dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim, pēc: „nesamaitā.“Vai tad jūs esat mēmi, ka nerunājat taisnību un nepareizi tiesājat, jūs cilvēku bērni?
For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam. Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company? Do ye judge with equity the sons of men?
2 Tiešām, savā sirdī jūs darāt netaisnību virs zemes, ar savām rokām jūs dzenaties uz varas darbu.
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.
3 Bezdievīgie maldās no mātes klēpja, kas melus runā, alojās no pašām mātes miesām.
The wicked are estranged from the womb; the speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.
4 Tiem ir tāds niknums kā čūsku dzelonis, kā kurlai odzei, kas savu ausi aizbāž,
Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; they are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;
5 Ka tā nedzird vārdotāja balsi, kas labi māk apvārdot.
Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, or of the most cunning binder of spells.
6 Ak Dievs, salauzi viņiem zobus mutē, ak Kungs, izrauj jauno lauvu dzerokļus!
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
7 Lai tie izšķīst kā ūdens, kas notek; kad tie uzvelk savas bultas, tad lai tās ir kā aplauztas,
Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
8 Tā kā gliemezis, kas izkūst, tā lai tie izgaist tā kā sievas nelaikā dzimis bērns, tā lai tie neredz saules.
Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun.
9 Pirms jūsu ērkšķi dabūs asus galus, viņš tos aizraus dzīvus, kā ar karstu dusmību.
Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.
10 Tas taisnais priecāsies, kad viņš redz atriebšanu, viņš mazgās savas kājas bezdievīgo asinīs.
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 Un cilvēki sacīs: tam taisnam būs augļi; tiešām, Dievs ir soģis virs zemes.
And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.'
