Psalms 58

1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David. Do you indeed speak justly, O rulers? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?

1 你们做官长的主持公道吗？ 你们的审判公正吗？

2 No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.

2 不，你们心中图谋不义， 你们在地上行凶作恶。

3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.

3 恶人生下来就步入歧途， 一出母胎就离开正道， 谎话连篇。

4 Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like a cobra that shuts its ears,

4 他们恶毒如蛇， 像耳聋的眼镜蛇，

5 refusing to hear the tune of the charmer who skillfully weaves his spell.

5 任法师的邪术再高超， 也听不见他的咒语。

6 O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.

6 上帝啊，求你敲碎他们的牙齿； 耶和华啊， 求你拔掉这些猛狮的利齿。

7 May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted.

7 愿他们如流水逝去， 愿他们弯弓搭箭时箭头折断。

8 Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.

8 愿他们像蜗牛一样溶为烂泥， 又如未见天日就流产的胎儿。

9 Before your pots can feel the burning thorns—whether green or dry—He will sweep them away.

9 刹那间，荆棘还没有把锅烧热的工夫， 上帝必全然除灭他们。

10 The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.

10 义人必因见恶人遭报而欢欣， 并用恶人的血洗脚。

11 Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”

11 这样，人们必说： “义人终有善报， 确实有一位审判天下的上帝。”
