Psalms 58
Below each verse in the original comes an approximate reading, in italics, for anyone who wants to pronounce the text aloud. It is not academic transliteration: it does not mark stress or settle the cases that depend on grammatical analysis, and the four-letter Name is read “Yahweh”, by the founder’s decision — the Hebrew pointing instructs saying “Adonai”, and Portuguese Bibles render it “SENHOR”.
The numbering differs in this chapter. The original has a different number of verses from the Portuguese — this happens in 134 of the 1,189 chapters, mostly in the Psalms, because the Hebrew superscription (“A psalm of David”) is counted as verse 1. That is why the two texts appear separately, each with its own numbering, instead of paired: pairing here would put a verse next to the wrong one.
1Salmo “Mictão” de Davi, para o regente, conforme “Altachete”: Congregação, por acaso falais verdadeiramente o que é justo? Vós, Filhos dos homens, julgais corretamente?
2Na verdade vós praticais perversidades em [vosso] coração; sobre a terra pesais a violência de vossas mãos.
3Os perversos se desviam desde o ventre da mãe; afastam-se desde o ventre os mentirosos.
4O veneno deles [é] semelhante ao veneno de serpente; são como a cobra surda, que tapa seus ouvidos,
5Para não ouvirem a voz dos encantadores, do encantador sábio em encantamentos.
6Deus, quebra os dentes deles em suas bocas; arranca os queixos dos filhos dos leões, SENHOR.
7Que eles escorram como águas, que vão embora; quando ele armar sua flecha, sejam eles cortados em pedaços.
8Como a lesma, que se desmancha, que [assim] saiam embora; como o aborto de mulher, [assim também] nunca vejam o sol.
9Antes que vossas panelas sintam os espinhos, tanto vivos, como aquecidos, ele os arrebatará furiosamente.
10O justo se alegrará ao ver a vingança; [e] lavará seus pés no sangue do perverso.
11Então o homem dirá: Certamente há recompensa para o justo; certamente há Deus, que julga na terra.
