Psalms

1*Phần ca trưởng. “Xin đừng phá đổ”. Của vua Đa-vít. Se sẽ. Khi ông chạy vào hang, trốn vua Sa-un.*

2tới khi nào hết tai hoạ khổ đau.

3Chúa ban ơn phúc dồi dào cho tôi.

4tình thương và lòng thành tín của Người.

5lưỡi thì sắc bén tựa gươm đao.

6và chiếu toả vinh quang đầy mặt đất.

7chính chúng lại sa chân.

8Con an lòng, lạy Thiên Chúa, con vững dạ an lòng,

9tôi còn đánh thức cả bình minh.

10giữa lòng muôn nước, con đàn hát xướng ca.

11và lòng thành tín vượt ngàn mây thẳm.

12và chiếu toả vinh quang đầy mặt đất.

1Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title.

2If in very deed you speak justice: judge right things, ye sons of men.

3For in your heart you work iniquity: your hands forge injustice in the earth.

4The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: they have spoken false things.

5Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears:

6Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely.

7God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions.

8They shall come to nothing, like water running down; he hath bent his bow till they be weakened.

9Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: fire hath fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun.

10Before your thorns could know the brier; he swalloweth them up, as alive, in his wrath.

11The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.

12And man shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: there is indeed a God that judgeth them on the earth.
