大卫的金诗。交给圣咏团长,曲调用“休要毁坏”。

求 神罚恶

58 你们缄默不语,真合公义吗?
    你们审判世人,岂按正直吗?
不然!你们心中作恶,
    量出你们在地上手中的残暴。

恶人一出母胎就与 神疏远,
    一离母腹就走错路,说谎话。
他们的毒气好像蛇的毒气,
    他们好像聋的毒蛇塞住耳朵,
听不见弄蛇者的声音,
    也听不见魔术师的咒语。

 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;
    他们瞄准射箭的时候,箭头仿佛折断。
愿他们像蜗牛腐烂消失,
    又像妇人流掉的胎儿,未见天日。
你们用荆棘烧火,锅还未热,
     神就用旋风把未烧着的和已烧着的一齐刮去。

10 义人见仇敌遭报就欢喜,
    他要在恶人的血中洗脚。
11 因此,人必说:“义人诚然有善报,
    在地上果然有施行审判的 神!”

58 掌權者啊!你們真的講公義嗎(本句或譯:“你們默然不語,真的講公義嗎”)?

你們真的按照正直審判世人嗎?

不是的,你們心中策劃奸惡;

你們的手在地上施行強暴(本句原文作“你們在地上稱出你們手中的強暴”)。

惡人一出母胎,就走上歧路;

他們一離母腹,就走偏了路,常說謊話。

他們的毒氣好像蛇的毒氣,

又像耳朵塞住的聾虺,

不聽行法術者的聲音,

就是極靈的咒語,也是無效。

 神啊!求你敲掉他們口中的牙齒;

耶和華啊!求你打斷少壯獅子的顎骨。

願他們像流水般消逝;

願他們射箭的時候,箭頭折斷(本句原文意義不甚明確)。

願他們像蝸牛般蠕行消融,

如同婦人流產未見天日的胎兒。

你們用荊棘燒火,鍋還未熱,

他要用旋風把燒著的和未燒著的一起颳去。

10 義人看見仇敵遭報就歡喜;

他要在惡人的血中洗自己的腳。

11 因此,人必說:“義人果然有善報;

在世上確有一位施行審判的 神。”

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.”
