求神降罚恶人

58 大卫的金诗,交于伶长。调用休要毁坏。

世人哪,你们默然不语,真合公义吗?施行审判,岂按正直吗?
不然!你们是心中作恶,你们在地上称出你们手所行的强暴。
恶人一出母胎,就与神疏远;一离母腹,便走错路,说谎话。
他们的毒气好像蛇的毒气,他们好像塞耳的聋虺,
不听行法术的声音,虽用极灵的咒语,也是不听。
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!
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。
愿他们像蜗牛消化过去,又像妇人坠落未见天日的胎。
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 义人见仇敌遭报就欢喜,要在恶人的血中洗脚。
11 因此,人必说:“义人诚然有善报,在地上果有施行判断的神。”

58 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

The Just Judgment of the Wicked

To the Chief Musician. Set to [a]“Do Not Destroy.” A Michtam of David.

58 Do you indeed speak righteousness, you silent ones?
Do you judge uprightly, you sons of men?
No, in heart you work wickedness;
You weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.

(A)The wicked are estranged from the womb;
They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
(B)Their poison is like the poison of a serpent;
They are like the deaf cobra that stops its ear,
Which will not (C)heed the voice of charmers,
Charming ever so skillfully.

(D)Break[b] their teeth in their mouth, O God!
Break out the fangs of the young lions, O Lord!
(E)Let them flow away as waters which run continually;
When he bends his bow,
Let his arrows be as if cut in pieces.
Let them be like a snail which melts away as it goes,
(F)Like a stillborn child of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

Before your (G)pots can feel the burning thorns,
He shall take them away (H)as with a whirlwind,
As in His living and burning wrath.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the (I)vengeance;
(J)He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,
11 (K)So that men will say,
“Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
Surely He is God who (L)judges in the earth.”
