[[For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial.]] If ye do indeed speak righteousness, [then] do ye judge rightly, ye sons of men. |
|
58:1 ¶
[[To the chief Musician,°°
Altaschith,°°
Michtam°
of David.]]°
Do ye indeed°
speak°°
righteousness,°
O congregation?°
do ye judge°°
uprightly,°
O ye sons°
of men?° |
|
58:2
For ye work iniquities in [your] hearts in the earth: your hands plot unrighteousness. |
|
58:2
Yea,°
in heart°
ye work°°
wickedness;°
ye weigh°°
the violence°
of your hands°
in the earth.° |
|
58:3
Sinners have gone astray from the womb: they go astray from the belly: they speak lies. |
|
58:3
The wicked°
are estranged°°
from the womb:°°
they go astray°°
as soon as they be born,°°
speaking°°
lies.° |
|
58:4
Their venom is like [that] of a serpent; as [that] of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears; |
|
58:4
Their poison°
[is] like°
the poison°
of a serpent:°
[they are] like°
the deaf°
adder°
[that] stoppeth°°
her ear;° |
|
58:5
which will not hear the voice of charmers, nor [heed] the charm prepared skillfully by the wise. |
|
58:5
Which°
will not°
hearken°°
to the voice°
of charmers,°°
charming°°°
never so wisely.°° |
|
58:6
God has crushed their teeth in their mouth: God has broken the cheek-teeth of the lions. |
|
58:6
Break°°
their teeth,°
O Elohim,°
in their mouth:°
break out°°
the great teeth°
of the young lions,°
O Yahweh.° |
|
58:7
They shall utterly pass away like water running through: he shall bend his bow till they shall fail. |
|
58:7
Let them melt away°°
as°
waters°
[which] run°
continually:°°
[when] he bendeth°°
[his bow to shoot] his arrows,°
let them be as°
cut in pieces.°° |
|
58:8
They shall be destroyed as melted wax: the fire has fallen and they have not seen the sun. |
|
58:8
As°
a snail°
[which] melteth,°
let [every one of them] pass away:°°
[like] the untimely birth°
of a woman,°
[that] they may not°
see°°
the sun.° |
|
58:9
Before your thorns feel the white thorn, he shall swallow you up as living, as in his wrath. |
|
58:9
Before°
your pots°
can feel°°
the thorns,°
he shall take them away as with a whirlwind,°°
both°
living,°
and in°
[his] wrath.° |
|
58:10
The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner. |
|
58:10
The righteous°
shall rejoice°°
when°
he seeth°°
the vengeance:°
he shall wash°°
his feet°
in the blood°
of the wicked.° |
|
58:11
And a man shall say, Verily then there is a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judges them in the earth. |
|
58:11
So that a man°
shall say,°°
Verily°
[there is] a reward°
for the righteous:°
verily°
he is°
an Elohim°
that judgeth°°
in the earth.° |
