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 世人哪，你们默然不语，真合公义吗？ 施行审判，岂按正直吗？

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

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。

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

3 恶人一出母胎就与 神疏远， 一离母腹便走错路，说谎话。

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

4 他们的毒气好像蛇的毒气； 他们好像塞耳的聋虺，

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

5 不听行法术的声音， 虽用极灵的咒语也是不听。

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

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！

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

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。

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

8 愿他们像蜗牛消化过去， 又像妇人坠落未见天日的胎。

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

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。

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

10 义人见仇敌遭报就欢喜， 要在恶人的血中洗脚。

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

11 因此，人必说：义人诚然有善报； 在地上果有施行判断的 神！
