诗篇58:
1（大卫的金诗，交与伶长，调用休要毁坏）世人哪，你们默然不语，真合公义吗？施行审判，岂按正直吗？
2不然，你们是心中作恶。你们在地上秤出你们手所行的强暴。
3恶人一出母胎，就与神疏远。一离母腹，便走错路，说谎话。
4他们的毒气，好像蛇的毒气。他们好像塞耳的聋虺，
5不听行法术的声音。虽用极灵的咒语，也是不听。
6神啊，求你敲碎他们口中的牙。耶和华啊，求你敲掉少壮狮子的大牙。
7愿他们消灭如急流的水一般。他们瞅准射箭的时候，愿箭头仿佛砍断。
8愿他们像蜗牛消化过去，又像妇人坠落未见天日的胎。
9你们用荆棘烧火。锅还未热，他要用旋风把青的和烧着的一齐刮去。
10义人见仇敌遭报，就欢喜，要在恶人的血中洗脚。
11因此，人必说，义人诚然有善报。在地上果有施行判断的神。
1Justice—do you rulers#58:1 Or you gods. know the meaning of the word?Do you judge the people fairly?
2No! You plot injustice in your hearts.You spread violence throughout the land.
3These wicked people are born sinners;even from birth they have lied and gone their own way.
4They spit venom like deadly snakes;they are like cobras that refuse to listen,
5ignoring the tunes of the snake charmers,no matter how skillfully they play.
6Break off their fangs, O God!Smash the jaws of these lions, O Lord!
7May they disappear like water into thirsty ground.Make their weapons useless in their hands.#58:7 Or Let them be trodden down and wither like grass. The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain.
8May they be like snails that dissolve into slime,like a stillborn child who will never see the sun.
9God will sweep them away, both young and old,faster than a pot heats over burning thorns.
10The godly will rejoice when they see injustice avenged.They will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
11Then at last everyone will say,“There truly is a reward for those who live for God;surely there is a God who judges justly here on earth.”
