Psalmi 58
1 Dāvida sirds dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim, pēc: „nesamaitā.“Vai tad jūs esat mēmi, ka nerunājat taisnību un nepareizi tiesājat, jūs cilvēku bērni?
“To the chief musician Al-tashcheth, by David, a Michtham.” Do you indeed, who are dumb, speak righteously? do ye judge in uprightness, O ye sons of men?
2 Tiešām, savā sirdī jūs darāt netaisnību virs zemes, ar savām rokām jūs dzenaties uz varas darbu.
Even in [your] heart ye work injustice: on the earth do ye weigh out the violence of your hands.
3 Bezdievīgie maldās no mātes klēpja, kas melus runā, alojās no pašām mātes miesām.
The wicked are estranged [from goodness] from the womb: those who speak lies go astray from their very birth.
4 Tiem ir tāds niknums kā čūsku dzelonis, kā kurlai odzei, kas savu ausi aizbāž,
They have poison like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
5 Ka tā nedzird vārdotāja balsi, kas labi māk apvārdot.
Which will not hearken to the voice of conjurers, yea, that of the wisest of all charmers.
6 Ak Dievs, salauzi viņiem zobus mutē, ak Kungs, izrauj jauno lauvu dzerokļus!
O God, break out their teeth in their mouth: the jaw-teeth of the young lions tear thou out, 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 [which] runneth off: when each one bendeth [his bow to shoot] his arrows, let them be as if cut in pieces.
8 Tā kā gliemezis, kas izkūst, tā lai tie izgaist tā kā sievas nelaikā dzimis bērns, tā lai tie neredz saules.
As a snail which melteth, let him pass away; like the untimely birth of a woman which hath 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, will he take them away with a whirlwind, both the green and the burning.
10 Tas taisnais priecāsies, kad viņš redz atriebšanu, viņš mazgās savas kājas bezdievīgo asinīs.
The righteous will rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he will bathe his steps in the blood of the wicked.
11 Un cilvēki sacīs: tam taisnam būs augļi; tiešām, Dievs ir soģis virs zemes.
So that a man shall say, Verily fruit will come for the righteous: verily there is a God that judgeth on the earth.
