Psalms 58

Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

أَحَقًّا بِالْحَقِّ الأَخْرَسِ تَتَكَلَّمُونَ، بِالْمُسْتَقِيمَاتِ تَقْضُونَ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ؟

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

بَلْ بِالْقَلْبِ تَعْمَلُونَ شُرُورًا فِي الأَرْضِ ظُلْمَ أَيْدِيكُمْ تَزِنُونَ.

The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

زَاغَ الأَشْرَارُ مِنَ الرَّحِمِ. ضَلُّوا مِنَ الْبَطْنِ، مُتَكَلِّمِينَ كَذِبًا.

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

لَهُمْ حُمَةٌ مِثْلُ حُمَةِ الْحَيَّةِ. مِثْلُ الصِّلِّ الأَصَمِّ يَسُدُّ أُذُنَهُ،

Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

الَّذِي لاَ يَسْتَمِعُ إِلَى صَوْتِ الْحُوَاةِ الرَّاقِينَ رُقَى حَكِيمٍ.

Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

اَللَّهُمَّ، كَسِّرْ أَسْنَانَهُمْ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمِ. اهْشِمْ أَضْرَاسَ الأَشْبَالِ يَا رَبُّ.

Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.

لِيَذُوبُوا كَالْمَاءِ، لِيَذْهَبُوا. إِذَا فَوَّقَ سِهَامَهُ فَلْتَنْبُ.

As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

كَمَا يَذُوبُ الْحَلَزُونُ مَاشِيًا. مِثْلَ سِقْطِ الْمَرْأَةِ لاَ يُعَايِنُوا الشَّمْسَ.

Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.

قَبْلَ أَنْ تَشْعُرَ قُدُورُكُمْ بِالشَّوْكِ، نِيئًا أَوْ مَحْرُوقًا، يَجْرُفُهُمْ.

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

يَفْرَحُ الصِّدِّيقُ إِذَا رَأَى النَّقْمَةَ. يَغْسِلُ خُطُواتِهِ بِدَمِ الشِّرِّيرِ.

So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

وَيَقُولُ الإِنْسَانُ: «إِنَّ لِلصِّدِّيقِ ثَمَرًا. إِنَّهُ يُوجَدُ إِلهٌ قَاضٍ فِي الأَرْضِ»
