Psalms 58 — Novel English Bible

1 Do you indeed dabar (word / matter) tzadaq (righteous / just / fair), silent alam (ones)? Do you shapat (judge / judgement) blamelessly, you banay (my son) of adam (men)?

2 No, in your lab (heart) you plot injustice. You measure out the chamas (violence) of your yad (hand) in the aratz (Earth/land).

3 The rashai (wicked) zawar (go) astray from the racham (show mercy / love). They are wayward as soon as they are batan (born), dabar (word / matter) kazab (lies).

4 Their chamah (poison) is damawath (like) the chamah (poison) of a snake; like a charash (deaf) cobra that atam (stops) its azan (ear),

5 Which doesn't shamai (hearken / hear) to the qawal (sound / voice) of malachashayam (charmers), no matter how skillful the chabar (charmer) may be.

6 Haras (break) their shan (teeth), Alahayam (), in their pah (mouth). Nathatz (break) out the malathaih (great) teeth of the young kapayarayam (lions), Yahawah ().

7 Let them vanish as mayam (Waters) that flows maas (away). When they darak (draw) the bow, let their chatz (arrows) be made blunt.

8 Let them be like a shabalawal (snail) which thamas (melts) and passes halak (move), like the stillborn child, who has not chazah (seen) the shamash (sun).

9 Before your sayar (pots) can bayan (between) the heat of the atad (thorns), he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.

10 The tzadayaq (righteous) shall shamach (rejoice) when he chazah (sees) the naqam (vengeance). He shall rachatz (wash) his paim (feet) in the dam (blood) of the rashai (wicked);

11 So that adam (men) shall amar (spoke), “Most certainly there is a paray (reward) for the tzadayaq (righteous). Most certainly there is a Alahayam () who shapatayam (judges) the aratz (Earth/land).”
