Psalms 58
1(For the one directing. Set to Do Not Destroy. Mikhtam Dovid) 1
2Do ye indeed decree tzedek, O elim (g-ds, g-dlike judges)? + 58:2 Ex 22:28 [27] 1 Do ye judge uprightly the Bnei Adam? 1
3No, in lev (heart) ye work wickedness; 1 ye weigh out the chamas (violence) of your hands in Ha'Aretz. 1
4The resha'im are perverted from the rekhem (womb); 1 gone astray from birth are they, speaking kazav (lie, falsehood). 1
5Their venom is like the venom of a nachash; 1 they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth its ear; 1
6That it may not pay heed to the voice of charmers, 1 casting spells ever so cunningly. 1
7Break their teeth, O Elohim, in their mouth; 1 tear out the fangs of the young lions, Hashem. 1
8Let them melt away like draining mayim; 1 when he bendeth his bow to shoot his khitzim (arrows), let them be crumbled to pieces. 1
9As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away; 1 like the stillborn child of an isha, that they may not see the shemesh. 1
10Before your sirot (pots) can feel the burning thorns, 1 may He with a whirlwind blow them away, both green and dry alike. 1
11The tzaddik shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; 1 he shall wash feet in the dahm harasha. 1
12So that adam shall say, Verily there is a reward for the tzaddik; 1 verily yesh Elohim Shofetim ba'aretz (there is a G-d that judgeth in the earth).
