< Psalms 58 >

1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David.] Do you rulers indeed speak righteousness? Do you judge blamelessly, you descendants of Adam?
В конец, да не растлиши, Давиду в столпописание. Аще воистинну убо правду глаголете, правая судите, сынове человечестии.
2 No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.
Ибо в сердцы беззаконие делаете на земли, неправду руки вашя сплетают.
3 The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
Очуждишася грешницы от ложесн, заблудиша от чрева, глаголаша лжу.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent; like a deaf viper that stops its ear,
Ярость их по подобию змиину, яко аспида глуха и затыкающаго уши свои,
5 which doesn't listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.
иже не услышит гласа обавающих, обаваемь обавается от премудра.
6 Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, LORD.
Бог сокрушит зубы их во устех их: членовныя львов сокрушил есть Господь.
7 Let them vanish as water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.
Уничижатся яко вода мимотекущая: напряжет лук свой, дондеже изнемогут.
8 Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.
Яко воск растаяв отимутся: паде огнь на них, и не видеша солнца.
9 Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.
Прежде еже разумети терния вашего рамна, яко живы, яко во гневе пожрет я.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;
Возвеселится праведник, егда увидит отмщение: руце свои умыет в крови грешника.
11 so that men shall say, "Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth."
И речет человек: аще убо есть плод праведнику, убо есть Бог судя им на земли.
