詩篇 58

1 大衛的金詩，交與伶長。調用休要毀壞。 世人哪，你們默然不語，真合公義嗎？ 施行審判，豈按正直嗎？

For the chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of David. A michtam. Do you rulers speak righteousness? Do you judge uprightly, you people?

2 不然！你們是心中作惡； 你們在地上秤出你們手所行的強暴。

No, you commit wickedness in your heart; you distribute violence throughout the land with your hands.

3 惡人一出母胎就與上帝疏遠， 一離母腹便走錯路，說謊話。

The wicked go astray even when they are in the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies.

4 他們的毒氣好像蛇的毒氣； 他們好像塞耳的聾虺，

Their poison is like a snake's poison; they are like a deaf adder that stops up its ears,

5 不聽行法術的聲音， 雖用極靈的咒語也是不聽。

that pays no attention to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful they are.

6 上帝啊，求你敲碎他們口中的牙！ 耶和華啊，求你敲掉少壯獅子的大牙！

Break their teeth in their mouths, God; break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.

7 願他們消滅，如急流的水一般； 他們瞅準射箭的時候，願箭頭彷彿砍斷。

Let them melt away as water that runs off; when they shoot their arrows, let them be as though they had no points.

8 願他們像蝸牛消化過去， 又像婦人墜落未見天日的胎。

Let them be like a snail that melts and passes away, like the untimely-born child of a woman that never sees the sunlight.

9 你們用荊棘燒火，鍋還未熱， 他要用旋風把青的和燒着的一齊颳去。

Before your pots can feel the thorn's burning heat, he will take them away with a whirlwind, the green thorns and the burning thorns alike.

10 義人見仇敵遭報就歡喜， 要在惡人的血中洗腳。

The righteous will rejoice when he sees God's vengeance; he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,

11 因此，人必說：義人誠然有善報； 在地上果有施行判斷的上帝！

so that men will say, “Truly, there is a reward for the righteous person; truly there is a God who judges the earth.”
