←Prev   Psalms 58 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


58:1  Do you speak what is right and good, O you powerful ones? Are you always right in how you judge, O sons of men?
58:2  No, in your heart you do what is wrong. You use your hands to hurt and destroy in the land.
58:3  The sinful go wrong as soon as they are born. Those who speak lies go the wrong way from birth.
58:4  Their poison is like the poison of a snake. They are like a cobra that cannot or will not listen.
58:5  It does not hear the voice of the man who has power over it, even if the man is very good in his work.
58:6  O God, break the teeth in their mouth. Break out the teeth of the young lions, O Lord.
58:7  Let them flow away like water that pours. When he uses his arrows, let them have no heads.
58:8  Let them be like a snail that melts away as it goes. Like a baby born dead, may they never see the sun.
58:9  Before your pots can feel the fire of thorns, He will blow them away with a storm, both the green and the burning ones.
58:10  The one who is right and good will be full of joy when he sees the sinful punished. He will wash his feet in their blood.
58:11  And men will say, “For sure there is pay for those who are right and good. For sure there is a God Who says who is guilty or not on the earth.”
