Psalm 58
There Is a God Who Judges on Earth
For the choir director. #58:0 Lit Do Not DestroyAl-tashheth. Of David. A #58:0 Possibly Epigrammatic Poem, Atonement PsalmMikhtam.
1Do you indeed #58:1 Or speak righteousness in silencespeak righteousness, O #58:1 Or mighty ones, judgesgods?
Do you judge #58:1 Or uprightly the sons of menwith equity, O sons of men?
2No, in heart you work unrighteousness;
On earth you #58:2 Lit make levelprepare a path for the violence of your hands.
3The wicked are estranged from the womb;
These who speak falsehood wander in error from #58:3 Lit stomachbirth.
4They have venom like the venom of a serpent;
Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear,
5So that it does not hear the voice of #58:5 Or whispererscharmers,
Or a skillful caster of spells.
6¶O God, shatter their teeth in their mouth;
Break out the fangs of the young lions, O Yahweh.
7Let them flow away like water that runs off;
When he #58:7 Lit bendsaims his arrows, let them be as #58:7 Lit though they were cut offheadless shafts.
8 Let them be as a snail which #58:8 Secretes slimemelts away as it goes along,
Like the miscarriages of a woman which never behold the sun.
9Before your pots can feel the fire of thorns
He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the living and the burning alike.
10¶The righteous will be glad when he beholds the vengeance;
He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11And men will say, “Surely there is a #58:11 Lit fruitreward for the righteous;
Surely there is a God who judges #58:11 Or inon earth!”
