詩 篇 58
Chinese Union Version (Traditional)
58 ( 大 衛 的 金 詩 , 交 與 伶 長 。 調 用 休 要 毀 壞 。 ) 世 人 哪 , 你 們 默 然 不 語 , 真 合 公 義 麼 ? 施 行 審 判 , 豈 按 正 直 麼 ?
2 不 然 ! 你 們 是 心 中 作 惡 ; 你 們 在 地 上 秤 出 你 們 手 所 行 的 強 暴 。
3 惡 人 一 出 母 胎 就 與 神 疏 遠 , 一 離 母 腹 便 走 錯 路 , 說 謊 話 。
4 他 們 的 毒 氣 好 像 蛇 的 毒 氣 ; 他 們 好 像 塞 耳 的 聾 虺 ,
5 不 聽 行 法 術 的 聲 音 , 雖 用 極 靈 的 咒 語 也 是 不 聽 。
6 神 啊 , 求 你 敲 碎 他 們 口 中 的 牙 ; 耶 和 華 啊 , 求 你 敲 掉 少 壯 獅 子 的 大 牙 !
7 願 他 們 消 滅 , 如 急 流 的 水 一 般 ; 他 們 瞅 準 射 箭 的 時 候 , 願 箭 頭 彷 彿 砍 斷 。
8 願 他 們 像 蝸 牛 消 化 過 去 , 又 像 婦 人 墜 落 未 見 天 日 的 胎 。
9 你 們 用 荊 棘 燒 火 , 鍋 還 未 熱 , 他 要 用 旋 風 把 青 的 和 燒 著 的 一 齊 颳 去 。
10 義 人 見 仇 敵 遭 報 就 歡 喜 , 要 在 惡 人 的 血 中 洗 腳 。
11 因 此 , 人 必 說 : 義 人 誠 然 有 善 報 ; 在 地 上 果 有 施 行 判 斷 的 神 !
Psalm 58
English Standard Version
God Who Judges the Earth
To the choirmaster: according to (A)Do Not Destroy. A (B)Miktam[a] of David.
58 Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods?[b]
Do you judge the children of man uprightly?
2 No, in your hearts you devise wrongs;
your hands (C)deal out violence on earth.
3 The wicked are (D)estranged from the womb;
they go astray from birth, speaking lies.
4 (E)They have venom like the venom of a serpent,
like the deaf adder that stops its ear,
5 so that it (F)does not hear the voice of charmers
or of the cunning enchanter.
6 O God, (G)break the teeth in their mouths;
tear out the fangs of the young lions, O Lord!
7 Let them (H)vanish like water that runs away;
when he (I)aims his arrows, let them be blunted.
8 Let them be like the snail (J)that dissolves into slime,
like (K)the stillborn child who never sees the sun.
9 Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of (L)thorns,
whether green or ablaze, may he (M)sweep them away![c]
10 (N)The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance;
he will (O)bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 Mankind will say, “Surely there is (P)a reward for the righteous;
surely there is a God who (Q)judges on earth.”

Psalm 58
King James Version
58 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
