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。”

祈求上帝惩罚恶人

大卫作的诗,交给乐长,调用“休要毁坏”。

58 你们做官长的主持公道吗?
你们的审判公正吗?
不,你们心中图谋不义,
你们在地上行凶作恶。
恶人生下来就步入歧途,
一出母胎就离开正道,
谎话连篇。
他们像喷出毒液的毒蛇,
又像耳聋的眼镜蛇,
任法师的邪术再高超,
也听不见他的咒语。
上帝啊,求你敲碎他们的牙齿;
耶和华啊,
求你拔掉这些猛狮的利齿。
愿他们如流水逝去,
愿他们弯弓搭箭时箭头折断。
愿他们像蜗牛一样溶为烂泥,
又如流产的胎儿不见天日。
刹那间,
荆棘还没有把锅烧热的工夫,
上帝必除灭他们。
10 义人必因恶人遭报而欢欣,
并用恶人的血洗脚。
11 这样,人们必说:
“义人终有善报,
确实有一位审判天下的上帝。”

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.
