TranslationPsalm 57Their madness is like a serpent IF INDEED/ you speak justice:/ judge right things/ sons of men./ For in the heart/ you work injustices in the earth:/ your hands forge injustice./ Sinners are alienated/ from the womb:/ they have wandered from the womb they have spoken false things./ Their madness is like that of a serpent:/ as the asp that is deaf and stops her ears./ Which will not hear the voice of the enchanters:/ and of the sorcerer enchanting wisely./ God shall break their teeth in their mouth:/ and our lord will break in pieces the molars of lions./ They shall come to nothing as water running down:/ |
