Parallel
Psalms 57
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Εἰς τὸ τέλος· μὴ διαφθείρης· τῷ Δαυεὶδ εἰς στηλογραφίαν.
58:1
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam (note: Miktam is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 16 and 56–60.) of David. Do you indeed speak justly, O rulers? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?
Εἰ ἀληθῶς ἄρα δικαιοσύνην λαλεῖτε; εὐθεῖα κρίνετε, οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων;
58:2
No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.
καὶ γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ ἀνομίας ἐργάζεσθε ἐν τῇ γῆ, ἀδικίαν αἱ χεῖρες ὑμῶν συνπλέκουσιν.
58:3
The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.
ἀπηλλοτριώθησαν οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀπὸ μήτρας, ἐπλανήθησαν ἀπὸ γαστρός, ἐλάλησαν ψεύδη.
58:4
Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like a cobra that shuts its ears,
θυμὸς αὐτοῖς κατὰ τὴν ὁμοίωσιν τοῦ ὄφεως, ὡσεὶ ἀσπίδος κωφῆς καὶ βυούσης τὰ ὦτα αὐτῆς,
58:5
refusing to hear the tune of the charmer who skillfully weaves his spell.
ἥτις οὐκ εἰσακούσεται φωνὴν ἐπᾳδόντων φαρμάκου τε φαρμακευομένου παρὰ σοφοῦ.
58:6
O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.
ὁ θεὸς συνέτριψεν τοὺς ὀδόντας αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν, τὰς μύλας τῶν λεόντων συνέθλασεν Κύριος.
58:7
May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted (note: Or when they are trodden down, may they wither like grass).
ἐξουδενωθήσονται ὡς ὕδωρ διαπορευόμενον, ἐντενεῖ τὸ τόξον αὐτοῦ ἕως οὗ ἀσθενήσουσιν.
58:8
Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.
ὡσεὶ κηρὸς ὁ τακεὶς ἀνταναιρεθήσονται· ἐπέπεσε πῦρ, καὶ οὐκ εἶδον τὸν ἥλιον.
58:9
Before your pots can feel the burning thorns—whether green or dry—He will sweep them away.
πρὸ τοῦ συνεῖναι τὰς ἀκάνθας ὑμῶν τὴν ῥάμνον, ὡσεὶ ζῶντας, ὡσεὶ ἐν ὀργῇ καταπίεται ὑμᾶς.
58:10
The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
εὐφρανθήσεται δίκαιος ὅταν ἴδῃ ἐκδίκησιν ἀσεβῶν. τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ νίψεται ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ.
58:11
Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”
καὶ ἐρεῖ ἄνθρωπος Εἰ ἄρα ἐστὶν καρπὸς τῷ δικαίῳ, ἄρα ἐστὶν ὁ θεὸς κρίνων αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ γῆ.
