תהילים פרק נח

Псалом 58

Приближенные царя Шауля разжигали в его сердце ненависть к Давиду. Они считали его мятежником, восстающим на царя. И Давид не в силах был разубедить их – ведь порочные не желают знать правду.

EnglishHebrewEnglish transliteration

1. For the Leader; Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David; Michtam.

2. Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company? Do ye judge with equity the sons of men?

3. Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; Ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.

4. The wicked are estranged from the womb; The speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.

5. Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; They are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;

6. Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, Or of the most cunning binder of spells.

7. Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; Break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

8. Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; When he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.

9. Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; Like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun.

10. Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.

11. The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

12. And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.'
