Psalm 58
BSB Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Berean Study BibleEnglish 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?1Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods? Do you judge the children of man uprightly?
2No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.2No, in your hearts you devise wrongs; your hands deal out violence on earth.
3The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.3The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies.
4Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like a cobra that shuts its ears,4They have venom like the venom of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops its ear,
5refusing to hear the tune of the charmer who skillfully weaves his spell.5so that it does not hear the voice of charmers or of the cunning enchanter.
6O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.6O God, break the teeth in their mouths; tear out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD!
7May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted.7Let them vanish like water that runs away; when he aims his arrows, let them be blunted.
8Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.8Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime, like the stillborn child who never sees the sun.
9Before your pots can feel the burning thorns—whether green or dry—He will sweep them away.9Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns, whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!
10The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.10The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will bathe 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!”11Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth.”
