1For the choir director; [set to] Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David. Do you indeed speak righteousness, O gods? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?
1（大衛的金詩，交與伶長。調用休要毀壞。）世人哪，你們默然不語，真合公義麼？施行審判，豈按正直麼？
2No, in heart you work unrighteousness; On earth you weigh out the violence of your hands.
2不然！你們是心中作惡；你們在地上秤出你們手所行的強暴。
3The wicked are estranged from the womb; These who speak lies go astray from birth.
3惡人一出母胎就與神疏遠，一離母腹便走錯路，說謊話。
4They have venom like the venom of a serpent; Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear,
4他們的毒氣好像蛇的毒氣；他們好像塞耳的聾虺，
5So that it does not hear the voice of charmers, [Or] a skillful caster of spells.
5不聽行法術的聲音，雖用極靈的咒語也是不聽。
6O God, shatter their teeth in their mouth; Break out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD.
6神啊，求你敲碎他們口中的牙；耶和華啊，求你敲掉少壯獅子的大牙！
7Let them flow away like water that runs off; [When] he aims his arrows, let them be as headless shafts.
7願他們消滅，如急流的水一般；他們瞅準射箭的時候，願箭頭彷彿砍斷。
8[Let them be] as a snail which melts away as it goes along, [Like] the miscarriages of a woman which never see the sun.
8願他們像蝸牛消化過去，又像婦人墜落未見天日的胎。
9Before your pots can feel [the fire of] thorns He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.
9你們用荊棘燒火，鍋還未熱，他要用旋風把青的和燒著的一齊颳去。
10The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
10義人見仇敵遭報就歡喜，要在惡人的血中洗腳。
11And men will say, 'Surely there is a reward for the righteous; Surely there is a God who judges on earth!'
11因此，人必說：義人誠然有善報；在地上果有施行判斷的神！
