58 For the musical director: a song[fn] by David. To be sung to the tune of ‘Don’t destroy’.
58 When you rulers speak, do you actually say what is right?
≈Do you give justice, you people?
2 No, you plan wicked schemes in your mind.
≈You use your hands to distribute violence throughout the land.
3 From the womb, the wicked turn from what’s right.
≈They go astray from birth, speaking lies.
4 Their poison is like snake venom.
≈They’re like a deaf cobra that blocks its own ears
5 then pays no attention to the snake-charmer’s voice
no matter how skillful they are.
6 Break their teeth in their mouths, God.
≈Yahweh, break off the fangs of the young lions.
7 Let them melt away like water.
When they shoot their arrows, let them be as though they were cut in half.
8 Let them be like a snail that quietly disappears.
≈Like a woman’s still-born child that never sees the sunlight.
9 Before your pots can feel the heat of the burning thorn twigs,
he’ll sweep the branches away.
10 The godly people will celebrate when they see God’s vengeance.
≈They’ll wash their feet in the blood of the wicked
11 so that people will say, “There’s definitely a reward for the righteous person.
58:0 In Hebrew, ‘miktam’ is perhaps the name of this class of song.
