求神降罰惡人

58 大衛的金詩,交於伶長。調用休要毀壞。

世人哪,你們默然不語,真合公義嗎?施行審判,豈按正直嗎?
不然!你們是心中作惡,你們在地上稱出你們手所行的強暴。
惡人一出母胎,就與神疏遠;一離母腹,便走錯路,說謊話。
他們的毒氣好像蛇的毒氣,他們好像塞耳的聾虺,
不聽行法術的聲音,雖用極靈的咒語,也是不聽。
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!
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。
願他們像蝸牛消化過去,又像婦人墜落未見天日的胎。
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。」

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.”
