Psalm 58
BSB Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Berean Study BibleInternational Standard Version
1For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David. Do you indeed speak justly, O rulers? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?1How is it that by remaining silent you can speak righteously? How can you judge people fairly?
2No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.2As a matter of fact, in your heart you plan iniquities! In the land your hands are violent!
3The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.3The wicked go astray from the womb; they go astray, telling lies even from birth.
4Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like a cobra that shuts its ears,4Their venom is like a poisonous snake; even like a deaf serpent that shuts its ears,
5refusing to hear the tune of the charmer who skillfully weaves his spell.5refusing to hear the voice of the snake charmer, the cunning enchanter.
6O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.6God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; LORD, break the fangs of the young lions!
7May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted.7May they flow away like rain water that runs off, may they become like someone who shoots broken arrows.
8Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.8May they be like a snail that dries up as it crawls; like a woman's stillborn baby, who never saw the sun.
9Before your pots can feel the burning thorns—whether green or dry—He will sweep them away.9Before your clay pots are placed on a fire of burning thorns— whether green or ablaze— wrath will sweep them away like a storm.
10The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.10The righteous person will rejoice when he sees your vengeance; when he washes his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”11A person will say, "Certainly, the righteous are rewarded; certainly there is a God who judges the earth."
