they are terrified, they quickly retreat. 3 

Psalms 58:3

Context

58:3 The wicked turn aside from birth; 4 

liars go astray as soon as they are born. 5 

1 tn The object of “see” is omitted, but v. 3b suggests that the Lord’s self-revelation as the city’s defender is what they see.

2 tn Heb “they look, so they are shocked.” Here כֵּן (ken, “so”) has the force of “in the same measure.”

3 tn The translation attempts to reflect the staccato style of the Hebrew text, where the main clauses of vv. 4-6 are simply juxtaposed without connectives.

4 tn Heb “from the womb.”

5 tn Heb “speakers of a lie go astray from the womb.”
