[To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David.] Judge of Earthly Judges. Psalm 58(v57)לַמְנַצֵּחַ אַל־תַּשְׁחֵת לְדָוִד מִכְתָּם׃
1 Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods?
Do you judge the sons of men uprightly?
 הַאֻמְנָם אֵלֶם צֶדֶק תְּדַבֵּרוּן מֵישָׁרִים תִּשְׁפְּטוּ בְּנֵי אָדָם׃
2 Nay, in your hearts you devise wrongs;
your hands deal out violence on earth.
 אַף־בְּלֵב עֹולֹת תִּפְעָלוּן בָּאָרֶץ חֲמַס יְדֵיכֶם תְּפַלֵּסוּן׃
3 The wicked go astray from the womb,
they err from their birth, speaking lies.
 זֹרוּ רְשָׁעִים מֵרָחֶם תָּעוּ מִבֶּטֶן דֹּבְרֵי כָזָב׃
4 They have venom like the venom of a serpent,
like the deaf adder that stops its ear,
 חֲמַת־לָמֹו כִּדְמוּת חֲמַת־נָחָשׁ כְּמֹו־פֶתֶן חֵרֵשׁ יַאְטֵם אָזְנֹו׃
5 so that it does not hear the voice of charmers
or of the cunning enchanter.
 אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִשְׁמַע לְקֹול מְלַחֲשִׁים חֹובֵר חֲבָרִים מְחֻכָּם׃
6 O God, break the teeth in their mouths;
tear out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD!
 אֱלֹהִים הֲרָס־שִׁנֵּימֹו בְּפִימֹו מַלְתְּעֹות כְּפִירִים נְתֹץ יְהוָה׃
7 Let them vanish like water that runs away;
like grass let them be trodden down and wither.
 יִמָּאֲסוּ כְמֹו־מַיִם יִתְהַלְּכוּ־לָמֹו יִדְרֹךְ [כ= חִצֹּו] [ק= חִצָּיו] כְּמֹו יִתְמֹלָלוּ׃
8 Let them be like the snail which dissolves into slime,
like the untimely birth that never sees the sun.
 כְּמֹו שַׁבְּלוּל תֶּמֶס יַהֲלֹךְ נֵפֶל אֵשֶׁת בַּל־חָזוּ שָׁמֶשׁ׃
9 Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns,
whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!
 בְּטֶרֶם יָבִינוּ סִּירֹתֵיכֶם אָטָד כְּמֹו־חַי כְּמֹו־חָרֹון יִשְׂעָרֶנּוּ׃
10 The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance;
he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
 יִשְׂמַח צַדִּיק כִּי־חָזָה נָקָם פְּעָמָיו יִרְחַץ בְּדַם הָרָשָׁע׃
11 Men will say, "Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
surely there is a God who judges on earth."
 וְיֹאמַר אָדָם אַךְ־פְּרִי לַצַּדִּיק אַךְ יֵשׁ־אֱלֹהִים שֹׁפְטִים בָּאָרֶץ׃
