Psalms 58
1 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David: Michtam. Do ye indeed in silence speak righteousness? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
Načelniku godbe: "Ne pogubi"; Davidova pesem odlična. Ali zares, o krdelo, govorite pravico? po pravici sodite, sinovi človeški?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.
Ne, celo iz srca počenjate krivice; v tej deželi tehtate rok svojih silovitost.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
V stran zavijajo krivični od rojstva; tavajo od materinega telesa laž govoreč.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
Strup imajo podoben kačjemu strupu; kakor gada gluhega, ki si maši uho svoje.
5 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
Kateri ne posluša glasú mrmrajočih, njega, ki zna zagovarjati jako.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
O Bog, zdróbi jim zobe v njih ustih; mladih levov kočnike poderi, Gospod!
7 Let them melt away as water that runneth apace: when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
Stopé se naj kakor voda, odidejo naj neprestano; njemu, ki napenja pušice svoje, izpremené se naj kakor v klasje pušice.
8 [Let them be] as a snail which melteth and passeth away: [like] the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun.
Kakor polž, ki se topi, bode naj vsak, kakor žene splav, kakor ki niso videli solnca.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.
Ko se ne bode še čutilo trnje vaše, trnje ščipkovo, tako zeleno kakor suho podrl bode vse.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Radoval se bode pravični, ko bode videl maščevanje; noge svoje bode umival v krivičnega krvi.
11 So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
In človek poreče: Vendar ima sad pravični, vendar je sodnik na zemlji!
