악인들을 벌해 달라는 기도

(다윗의 시. 성가대 지휘자를 따라 ‘멸하지 말라’ 는 곡조에 맞춰 부른 노래)

58 너희 통치자들아,
너희가 바른 말을
하고 있느냐?
너희가 사람들을
공정하게 재판하고 있느냐?
아니다. 오히려 너희는
악한 일을 생각하며
온 땅에 폭력을 휘두르고 있다.
악인들은 뱃속에 있을 때부터
[a]잘못되었으며
태어날 때부터 곁길로 나아가
거짓말을 하는구나.
그들은 뱀처럼 독살스럽고
귀먹은 독사 같으니
아무리 훌륭한 마법사가
마술을 걸어도
그 소리를 듣지 않는 독사이다.

하나님이시여,
그들의 이빨을 꺾으소서.
여호와여, 이 젊은 사자들의
어금니를 부러뜨리소서.
그들을 흘러가는 물처럼
사라지게 하시며
그들이 활을 당길 때 화살이
부러지게 하소서.
그들을 움직이기만 하면
점점 녹아 없어지는
달팽이 같게 하시고
햇빛을 보지 못하고 죽어서 나오는
사산아 같게 하소서.

[b]하나님은 늙은 자나 젊은 자나
악인들을 모조리
쓸어 버리실 것이다.
솥이 그 아래 있는
가시나무 불길을
느끼는 것보다 더 빨리
하나님이 그들을 소멸하시리라.
10 의로운 자들은 악인들이
보복당하는 것을 보고
기뻐할 것이니
그들이 악인들의 피에
그 발을 씻을 것이다.
11 그때 비로소 사람들은
“의로운 자들이 상을 받고
세상을 심판하시는
하나님이 계신다” 하리라.

Psalm 58[a]

For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam.[b]

Do you rulers indeed speak justly?(A)
    Do you judge people with equity?
No, in your heart you devise injustice,(B)
    and your hands mete out violence on the earth.(C)

Even from birth the wicked go astray;
    from the womb they are wayward, spreading lies.
Their venom is like the venom of a snake,(D)
    like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears,
that will not heed(E) the tune of the charmer,(F)
    however skillful the enchanter may be.

Break the teeth in their mouths, O God;(G)
    Lord, tear out the fangs of those lions!(H)
Let them vanish like water that flows away;(I)
    when they draw the bow, let their arrows fall short.(J)
May they be like a slug that melts away as it moves along,(K)
    like a stillborn child(L) that never sees the sun.

Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns(M)
    whether they be green or dry—the wicked will be swept away.[c](N)
10 The righteous will be glad(O) when they are avenged,(P)
    when they dip their feet in the blood of the wicked.(Q)
11 Then people will say,
    “Surely the righteous still are rewarded;(R)
    surely there is a God who judges the earth.”(S)

  3. Psalm 58:9 The meaning of the Hebrew for this verse is uncertain.

58 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.

The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord.

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.

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.

Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.

10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

11 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
