诗篇 第 58 篇

¹（大卫的金诗，交与伶长。调用休要毁坏。）世人哪，你们默然不语，真合公义么？施行审判，岂按正直么？Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

²不然！你们是心中作恶；你们在地上秤出你们手所行的强暴。Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.

³恶人一出母胎就与神疏远，一离母腹便走错路，说谎话。The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

⁴他们的毒气好像蛇的毒气；他们好像塞耳的聋虺，Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

⁵不听行法术的声音，虽用极灵的咒语也是不听。Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

⁶神啊，求你敲碎他们口中的牙；耶和华啊，求你敲掉少壮狮子的大牙！Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

⁷愿他们消灭，如急流的水一般；他们瞅准射箭的时候，愿箭头仿佛砍断。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.

⁸愿他们像蜗牛消化过去，又像妇人坠落未见天日的胎。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.

⁹你们用荆棘烧火，锅还未热，他要用旋风把青的和烧着的一齐刮去。Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.

¹⁰义人见仇敌遭报就欢喜，要在恶人的血中洗脚。The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

¹¹因此，人必说：义人诚然有善报；在地上果有施行判断的神！So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
