Psalm 58

Nueva Versión Internacional (Castellano)

Al director musical. Sígase la tonada de«No destruyas». Mictam de David.

1 ¿Acaso vosotros, gobernantes, actuáis con justicia, y juzgáis con rectitud a los seres humanos? 

2 Al contrario, con la mente tramáis injusticia, y la violencia de vuestras manos se desata en el país. 

3 Los malvados se pervierten desde que nacen; desde el vientre materno se desvían los mentirosos. 

4 Su veneno es como el de las serpientes, como el de una cobra que se hace la sorda 

5 para no escuchar la música del mago, del diestro en encantamientos. 

6 Rómpeles, oh Dios, los dientes; ¡arráncales, SEÑOR, los colmillos a esos leones! 

7 Que se escurran, como el agua entre los dedos; que se rompan sus flechas al tensar el arco. 

8 Que se disuelvan, como babosa rastrera; que no vean la luz, cual si fueran abortos. 

9 Que, sin darse cuenta, ardan como espinos; que el viento los arrastre, estén verdes o secos. 

10 Se alegrará el justo al ver la venganza, al empapar sus pies en la sangre del impío. 

11 Dirá entonces la gente: «Ciertamente los justos son recompensados; ciertamente hay un Dios que juzga en la tierra».

Psalm 58

English Standard Version

God Who Judges the Earth

1 To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David. Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods? Do you judge the children of man uprightly? (Ps 16,1; Ps 57,1) 

2 No, in your hearts you devise wrongs; your hands deal out violence on earth. (Ps 94,20) 

3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies. (Ps 51,5; Jes 48,8) 

4 They have venom like the venom of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops its ear, (5Mo 32,33; Ps 140,3) 

5 so that it does not hear the voice of charmers or of the cunning enchanter. (Jer 8,17) 

6 O God, break the teeth in their mouths; tear out the fangs of the young lions, O Lord! (Hi 4,10; Hi 29,17; Ps 3,7) 

7 Let them vanish like water that runs away; when he aims his arrows, let them be blunted. (Jos 7,5; Ps 64,3; Ps 112,10) 

8 Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime, like the stillborn child who never sees the sun. (Hi 3,16; Ps 58,7) 

9 Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns, whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away! (Hi 27,21; Ps 118,12; Spr 10,25; Pred 7,6) 

10 The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked. (5Mo 32,43; Hi 22,19; Ps 68,23) 

11 Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth.” (1Mo 18,25; Hi 19,29; Ps 67,4; Ps 94,2; Pred 12,14; Jes 3,10)
