시편 58장 [RSV]

1. 1 To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David. Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods? Do you judge the sons of men uprightly?

2. 2 Nay, in your hearts you devise wrongs; your hands deal out violence on earth.

3. 3 The wicked go astray from the womb, they err from their birth, speaking lies.

4. 4 They have venom like the venom of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops its ear,

5. 5 so that it does not hear the voice of charmers or of the cunning enchanter.

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

7. 7 Let them vanish like water that runs away; like grass let them be trodden down and wither.

8. 8 Let them be like the snail which dissolves into slime, like the untimely birth that never sees the sun.

9. 9 Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns, whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!

10. 10 The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.

11. 11 Men will say, "Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth."
