Psalms 58

1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David. Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

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？

2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.

不然！你們是心中作惡； 你們在地上秤出你們手所行的強暴。

3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

惡人一出母胎就與上帝疏遠， 一離母腹便走錯路，說謊話。

4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

他們的毒氣好像蛇的毒氣； 他們好像塞耳的聾虺，

5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

不聽行法術的聲音， 雖用極靈的咒語也是不聽。

6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

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！

7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.

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。

8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

願他們像蝸牛消化過去， 又像婦人墜落未見天日的胎。

9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.

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。

10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

義人見仇敵遭報就歡喜， 要在惡人的血中洗腳。

11 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

因此，人必說：義人誠然有善報； 在地上果有施行判斷的上帝！
