Psalmi 58
1 Dāvida sirds dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim, pēc: „nesamaitā.“Vai tad jūs esat mēmi, ka nerunājat taisnību un nepareizi tiesājat, jūs cilvēku bērni?
When you mighty men speak, you never say what is right; you never decide things about people justly [RHQ]!
2 Tiešām, savā sirdī jūs darāt netaisnību virs zemes, ar savām rokām jūs dzenaties uz varas darbu.
No, in your inner beings you think only about doing what is wrong, and you commit violent crimes in this land [of Israel].
3 Bezdievīgie maldās no mātes klēpja, kas melus runā, alojās no pašām mātes miesām.
Wicked people do wrong things and tell lies from the time that they are born [DOU].
4 Tiem ir tāds niknums kā čūsku dzelonis, kā kurlai odzei, kas savu ausi aizbāž,
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]!
5 Ka tā nedzird vārdotāja balsi, kas labi māk apvārdot.
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].
6 Ak Dievs, salauzi viņiem zobus mutē, ak Kungs, izrauj jauno lauvu dzerokļus!
God, as for these enemies who [want to attack me like] young lions, break their teeth!
7 Lai tie izšķīst kā ūdens, kas notek; kad tie uzvelk savas bultas, tad lai tās ir kā aplauztas,
Cause them to disappear like water disappears [in dry ground]! Cause the arrows that they shoot to have no (heads/sharp points)!
8 Tā kā gliemezis, kas izkūst, tā lai tie izgaist tā kā sievas nelaikā dzimis bērns, tā lai tie neredz saules.
Cause them to become like snails that disappear in the slime; cause them to be like babies that are born dead!
9 Pirms jūsu ērkšķi dabūs asus galus, viņš tos aizraus dzīvus, kā ar karstu dusmību.
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).
10 Tas taisnais priecāsies, kad viņš redz atriebšanu, viņš mazgās savas kājas bezdievīgo asinīs.
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.
11 Un cilvēki sacīs: tam taisnam būs augļi; tiešām, Dievs ir soģis virs zemes.
[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!”
