Psalms 58 — 4 originals side by side

Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.
ℹ️ Some verses here have no matching verse in the public-domain translations (the Psalm superscriptions are not numbered verses in the CUV or the WEB). Those verses were translated by this site with AI (Claude), not taken from the WEB.

58:0
לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ אַל־תַּשְׁחֵ֗ת לְדָוִ֥ד מִכְתָּֽם׃
εἰς τὸ τέλος μὴ διαφθείρῃς τῷ Δαυιδ εἰς στηλογραφίαν
In finem, ne disperdas. David in tituli inscriptionem.
—
For the Chief Musician; set to “Do Not Destroy.” A miktam by David.
58:1
הַאֻמְנָ֗ם אֵ֣לֶם צֶ֭דֶק תְּדַבֵּר֑וּן מֵישָׁרִ֥ים תִּ֝שְׁפְּט֗וּ בְּנֵ֣י אָדָֽם׃
εἰ ἀληθῶς ἄρα δικαιοσύνην λαλεῖτε εὐθεῖα κρίνετε οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων
Si vere utique justitiam loquimini, recta judicate, filii hominum.
ፍጻሜ ፡ ኢታማስን ፡ ዘዳዊት ፡ አርአያ ፡ መጽሐፍ ። እመሰ ፡ አማን ፡ ጽድቀ ፡ ትነቡ ፤ ወርትዐ ፡ ትኴንኑ ፡ ደቂቀ ፡ እጓለ ፡ እምሕያው ።
Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?
58:2
אַף־בְּלֵב֮ עוֹלֹ֢ת תִּפְעָ֫ל֥וּן בָּאָ֡רֶץ חֲמַ֥ס יְ֝דֵיכֶ֗ם תְּפַלֵּסֽוּן׃
καὶ γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ ἀνομίας ἐργάζεσθε ἐν τῇ γῇ ἀδικίαν αἱ χεῖρες ὑμῶν συμπλέκουσιν
Etenim in corde iniquitates operamini ; in terra injustitias manus vestrae concinnant.
እስመ ፡ በልብክሙ ፡ ኃጢአተ ፡ ትገብሩ ፡ በዲበ ፡ ምድር ፤ ወጽልሑተ ፡ ይፀፍራ ፡ እደዊክሙ ።
No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands on the earth.
58:3
זֹ֣רוּ רְשָׁעִ֣ים מֵרָ֑חֶם תָּע֥וּ מִ֝בֶּ֗טֶן דֹּבְרֵ֥י כָזָֽב׃
ἀπηλλοτριώθησαν οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀπὸ μήτρας ἐπλανήθησαν ἀπὸ γαστρός ἐλάλησαν ψεύδη
Alienati sunt peccatores a vulva ; erraverunt ab utero : locuti sunt falsa.
ተነክሩ ፡ ኃጥኣን ፡ እማሕፀን ፤ እምከርሥ ፡ ስሕቱ ፡ ወነበቡ ፡ ሐሰተ ።
The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
58:4
חֲמַת־לָ֗מוֹ כִּדְמ֥וּת חֲמַת־נָחָ֑שׁ כְּמוֹ־פֶ֥תֶן חֵ֝רֵ֗שׁ יַאְטֵ֥ם אׇזְנֽוֹ׃
θυμὸς αὐτοῖς κατὰ τὴν ὁμοίωσιν τοῦ ὄφεως ὡσεὶ ἀσπίδος κωφῆς καὶ βυούσης τὰ ὦτα αὐτῆς
Furor illis secundum similitudinem serpentis, sicut aspidis surdae et obturantis aures suas,
ወመዐቶሙኒ ፡ ከመ ፡ ሕምዘ ፡ አርዌ ፡ ምድር ፤ ከመ ፡ አርዌ ፡ ምድር ፡ ጽምምት ፡ እዘኒሃ ።
Their poison is like the poison of a snake, like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,
58:5
אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹֽא־יִ֭שְׁמַע לְק֣וֹל מְלַחֲשִׁ֑ים חוֹבֵ֖ר חֲבָרִ֣ים מְחֻכָּֽם׃
ἥτις οὐκ εἰσακούσεται φωνὴν ἐπᾳδόντων φαρμάκου τε φαρμακευομένου παρὰ σοφοῦ
quae non exaudiet vocem incantantium, et venefici incantantis sapienter.
እንት ፡ ኢትሰምዕ ፡ ቃለ ፡ ዘይሬቅያ ፤ እንዘ ፡ ይሠርያ ፡ መሠርይ ፡ ጠቢብ ።
which doesn’t listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.
58:6
אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים הֲרׇס־שִׁנֵּ֥ימֽוֹ בְּפִ֑ימוֹ מַלְתְּע֥וֹת כְּ֝פִירִ֗ים נְתֹ֣ץ׀יְהֹוָֽה׃
ὁ θεὸς συνέτριψεν τοὺς ὀδόντας αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν τὰς μύλας τῶν λεόντων συνέθλασεν κύριος
Deus conteret dentes eorum in ore ipsorum ; molas leonum confringet Dominus.
እግዚአብሔር ፡ ይሰብር ፡ ስነኒሆሙ ፡ በውስተ ፡ አፉሆሙ ፤ ወይሰብር ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ጥረሲሆሙ ፡ ለአናብስት ።
Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.
58:7
יִמָּאֲס֣וּ כְמוֹ־מַ֭יִם יִתְהַלְּכוּ־לָ֑מוֹ יִדְרֹ֥ךְ חִ֝צָּ֗ו כְּמ֣וֹ יִתְמֹלָֽלוּ׃
ἐξουδενωθήσονται ὡς ὕδωρ διαπορευόμενον ἐντενεῖ τὸ τόξον αὐτοῦ ἕως οὗ ἀσθενήσουσιν
Ad nihilum devenient tamquam aqua decurrens ; intendit arcum suum donec infirmentur.
ወየኀስሩ ፡ ከመ ፡ ማይ ፡ ዘይትከዐው ፤ ወይዌስቅ ፡ ቀስቶ ፡ እስከ ፡ ያደክዎሙ ።
Let them vanish like water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.
58:8
כְּמ֣וֹ שַׁ֭בְּלוּל תֶּ֣מֶס יַהֲלֹ֑ךְ נֵ֥פֶל אֵ֝֗שֶׁת בַּל־חָ֥זוּ שָֽׁמֶשׁ׃
ὡσεὶ κηρὸς ὁ τακεὶς ἀνταναιρεθήσονται ἐπέπεσε πῦρ καὶ οὐκ εἶδον τὸν ἥλιον
Sicut cera quae fluit auferentur ; supercecidit ignis, et non viderunt solem.
ወየኀልቁ ፡ ከመ ፡ ሰምዕ ፡ ዘይትመሰው ፤ ወድቀት ፡ እሳት ፡ ወኢርኢክዋ ፡ ለፀሐይ ።
Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.
58:9
בְּטֶ֤רֶם׀ יָבִ֣ינוּ סִּירֹתֵכֶ֣ם אָטָ֑ד כְּמוֹ־חַ֥י כְּמוֹ־חָ֝ר֗וֹן יִשְׂעָרֶֽנּוּ׃
πρὸ τοῦ συνιέναι τὰς ἀκάνθας ὑμῶν τὴν ῥάμνον ὡσεὶ ζῶντας ὡσεὶ ἐν ὀργῇ καταπίεται ὑμᾶς
Priusquam intelligerent spinae vestrae rhamnum, sicut viventes sic in ira absorbet eos.
ዘእንበለ ፡ ይትዐወቅ ፡ ሦክክሙ ፡ ሕለተ ፡ ኮነ ፡ ከመ ፡ ሕያዋን ፡ በመዐቱ ፡ ይውኅጠክሙ ።
Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.
58:10
יִשְׂמַ֣ח צַ֭דִּיק כִּי־חָזָ֣ה נָקָ֑ם פְּעָמָ֥יו יִ֝רְחַ֗ץ בְּדַ֣ם הָרָשָֽׁע׃
εὐφρανθήσεται δίκαιος ὅταν ἴδῃ ἐκδίκησιν ἀσεβῶν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ νίψεται ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ
Laetabitur justus cum viderit vindictam ; manus suas lavabit in sanguine peccatoris.
ይትፌሣሕ ፡ ጻድቅ ፡ ሶበ ፡ ይሬኢ ፡ በቀለ ፤ ወይትኀፀብ ፡ እዴሁ ፡ በደመ ፡ ኃጥእ ።
The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,
58:11
וְיֹאמַ֣ר אָ֭דָם אַךְ־פְּרִ֣י לַצַּדִּ֑יק אַ֥ךְ יֵשׁ־אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים שֹׁפְטִ֥ים בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ {פ}
καὶ ἐρεῖ ἄνθρωπος εἰ ἄρα ἔστιν καρπὸς τῷ δικαίῳ ἄρα ἐστὶν ὁ θεὸς κρίνων αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ γῇ
Et dicet homo : Si utique est fructus justo, utique est Deus judicans eos in terra.
ወይብል ፡ ሰብእ ፡ ቦኑ ፡ እንጋ ፡ ፍሬ ፡ ለጻድቅ ፤ ወቦኑ ፡ እንጋ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ይፈትሕ ፡ ሎሙ ፡ በዲበ ፡ ምድር ።
so that men shall say, “Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth.”
