Psalm 58 58 Psalms Book 2 Arabic Literal Text 1 GLT أَحَقًّا بِٱلْحَقِّ ٱلْأَخْرَسِ تَتَكَلَّمُونَ، بِٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَاتِ تَقْضُونَ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ؟ BSB BSB: For 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?
2 GLT بَلْ بِٱلْقَلْبِ تَعْمَلُونَ شُرُورًا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ظُلْمَ أَيْدِيكُمْ تَزِنُونَ. BSB BSB: No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.
3 GLT زَاغَ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ. ضَلُّوا مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ، مُتَكَلِّمِينَ كَذِبًا. BSB BSB: The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.
4 GLT لَهُمْ حُمَةٌ مِثْلُ حُمَةِ ٱلْحَيَّةِ. مِثْلُ ٱلصِّلِّ ٱلْأَصَمِّ يَسُدُّ أُذُنَهُ، BSB BSB: Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like a cobra that shuts its ears,
5 GLT ٱلَّذِي لَا يَسْتَمِعُ إِلَى صَوْتِ ٱلْحُوَاةِ ٱلرَّاقِينَ رُقَى حَكِيمٍ. BSB BSB: refusing to hear the tune of the charmer who skillfully weaves his spell.
6 GLT اَللَّهُمَّ، كَسِّرْ أَسْنَانَهُمْ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمِ. ٱهْشِمْ أَضْرَاسَ ٱلْأَشْبَالِ يَا رَبُّ. BSB BSB: O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.
7 GLT لِيَذُوبُوا كَٱلْمَاءِ، لِيَذْهَبُوا. إِذَا فَوَّقَ سِهَامَهُ فَلْتَنْبُ. BSB BSB: May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted.
8 GLT كَمَا يَذُوبُ ٱلْحَلَزُونُ مَاشِيًا. مِثْلَ سِقْطِ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ لَا يُعَايِنُوا ٱلشَّمْسَ. BSB BSB: Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.
9 GLT قَبْلَ أَنْ تَشْعُرَ قُدُورُكُمْ بِٱلشَّوْكِ، نِيئًا أَوْ مَحْرُوقًا، يَجْرُفُهُمْ. BSB BSB: Before your pots can feel the burning thorns—whether green or dry—He will sweep them away.
10 GLT يَفْرَحُ ٱلصِّدِّيقُ إِذَا رَأَى ٱلنَّقْمَةَ. يَغْسِلُ خُطُواتِهِ بِدَمِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ. BSB BSB: The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 GLT وَيَقُولُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ: «إِنَّ لِلصِّدِّيقِ ثَمَرًا. إِنَّهُ يُوجَدُ إِلَهٌ قَاضٍ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ» BSB BSB: Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”
