| Psalms 58:1 | Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men? | <To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. Michtam. Of David.> Is there righteousness in your mouths, O you gods? are you upright judges, O you sons of men? |
| Psalms 58:2 | No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth. | The purposes of your hearts are evil; your hands are full of cruel doings on the earth. |
| Psalms 58:3 | The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies. | The evil-doers are strange from the first; from the hour of their birth they go out of the true way, saying false words. |
| Psalms 58:4 | Their poison is like the poison of a snake; Like a deaf cobra that stops its ear, | Their poison is like the poison of a snake; they are like the adder, whose ears are shut; |
| Psalms 58:5 | Which doesn't listen to the voice of charmers, No matter how skillful the charmer may be. | Who will not be moved by the voice of the wonder-worker, however great are his powers. |
| Psalms 58:6 | Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh. | O God, let their teeth be broken in their mouths; let the great teeth of the young lions be pulled out, O Lord. |
| Psalms 58:7 | Let them vanish as water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt. | Let them be turned to liquid like the ever-flowing waters; let them be cut off like the grass by the way. |
| Psalms 58:8 | Let them be as a snail which melts and passes away, Like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun. | Let them be like an after-birth which is turned to water and comes to an end; like the fruit of a woman who gives birth before her time, let them not see the sun. |
| Psalms 58:9 | Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep away, the green and the burning alike. | Before they are conscious of it, let them be cut down like thorns; let a strong wind take them away like waste growth. |
| Psalms 58:10 | The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked; | The upright man will be glad when he sees their punishment; his feet will be washed in the blood of the evil-doer. |
| Psalms 58:11 | So that men shall say, "Most assuredly there is a reward for the righteous. Most assuredly there is a God who judges the earth." Psalm 59 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. | So that men will say, Truly there is a reward for righteousness; truly there is a God who is judge on the earth. |
