Hebrew · transliteration · JPS 1917

¹לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ אַל־תַּשְׁחֵ֗ת לְדָוִ֥ד מִכְתָּֽם׃

lamnatzeach al-tashchet ledavid mikhtam

For the Leader; Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David; Michtam.

²הַֽאֻמְנָ֗ם אֵ֣לֶם צֶ֭דֶק תְּדַבֵּר֑וּן מֵישָׁרִ֥ים תִּ֝שְׁפְּט֗וּ בְּנֵ֣י אָדָֽם׃

ha'umnam elem tzedek tedabberun mesharim tishpetu bene adam

Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company? Do ye judge with equity the sons of men?

³אַף־בְּלֵב֮ עוֹלֹ֪ת תִּפְעָ֫ל֥וּן בָּאָ֡רֶץ חֲמַ֥ס יְ֝דֵיכֶ֗ם תְּפַלֵּֽסֽוּן׃

af-belev olot tif'alun ba'aretz chamas yedekhem tefallesun

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

⁴זֹ֣רוּ רְשָׁעִ֣ים מֵרָ֑חֶם תָּע֥וּ מִ֝בֶּ֗טֶן דֹּבְרֵ֥י כָזָֽב׃

zoru resha'im merachem ta'u mibbeten dovre khazav

The wicked are estranged from the womb; The speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.

⁵חֲמַת־לָ֗מוֹ כִּדְמ֥וּת חֲמַת־נָחָ֑שׁ כְּמוֹ־פֶ֥תֶן חֵ֝רֵ֗שׁ יַאְטֵ֥ם אָזְנֽוֹ׃

chamat-lamo kidmut chamat-nachash kemo-feten cheresh ya'tem azno

Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; They are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;

⁶אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹא־יִ֭שְׁמַע לְק֣וֹל מְלַחֲשִׁ֑ים חוֹבֵ֖ר חֲבָרִ֣ים מְחֻכָּֽם׃

asher lo-yishma' lekol melachashim chover chavarim mechukkam

Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, Or of the most cunning binder of spells.

⁷אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים הֲרָס־שִׁנֵּ֥ימוֹ בְּפִ֑ימוֹ מַלְתְּע֥וֹת כְּ֝פִירִ֗ים נְתֹ֣ץ ׀ יְהוָֽה׃

elohim haras-shinnemo befimo malte'ot kefirim netotz ADONAI

Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; Break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

⁸יִמָּאֲס֣וּ כְמוֹ־מַ֭יִם יִתְהַלְּכוּ־לָ֑מוֹ יִדְרֹ֥ךְ חצו [חִ֝צָּ֗יו] כְּמ֣וֹ יִתְמֹלָֽלוּ׃

yimma'asu khemo-mayim yithallekhu-lamo yidrokh chitzav kemo yitmolalu

Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; When he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.

⁹כְּמ֣וֹ שַׁ֭בְּלוּל תֶּ֣מֶס יַהֲלֹ֑ךְ נֵ֥פֶל אֵ֝֗שֶׁת בַּל־חָ֥זוּ שָֽׁמֶשׁ׃

kemo shabbelul temes yahalokh nefel eshet bal-chazu shamesh

Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; Like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun.

¹⁰בְּטֶ֤רֶם יָבִ֣ינוּ סִּֽירֹתֵיכֶ֣ם אָטָ֑ד כְּמוֹ־חַ֥י כְּמוֹ־חָ֝ר֗וֹן יִשְׂעָרֶֽנּוּ׃

beterem yavinu sirotekhem atad kemo-chay kemo-charon yis'arennu

Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.

¹¹יִשְׂמַ֣ח צַ֭דִּיק כִּי־חָזָ֣ה נָקָ֑ם פְּעָמָ֥יו יִ֝רְחַ֗ץ בְּדַ֣ם הָרָשָֽׁע׃

yismach tzaddik ki-chaza nakam pe'amav yirchatz bedam harasha'

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

¹²וְיֹאמַ֣ר אָ֭דָם אַךְ־פְּרִ֣י לַצַּדִּ֑יק אַ֥ךְ יֵשׁ־אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים שֹׁפְטִ֥ים בָּאָֽרֶץ׃

veyomar adam akh-peri latzaddik akh yesh-elohim shoftim ba'aretz

And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.'

World Messianic Bible (English numbering)

For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A poem by David.

¹Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?

²No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands on the earth.

³The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

⁴Their poison is like the poison of a snake, like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,

⁵which doesn’t listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.

⁶Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, LORD.

⁷Let them vanish like water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.

⁸Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.

⁹Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.

¹⁰The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,

¹¹so that men shall say, “Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth.”
