Ps 58
1
Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company? Do ye judge with equity the sons of men?
2
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.
3
The wicked are estranged from the womb; the speakers of lies go astray as soon as
they are born.
4
Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; they are like the deaf asp that stoppeth
her ear;
5
Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, or of the most cunning binder of spells.
6
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions,
O LORD.
7
Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; when he aimeth his arrows, let them
be as though they were cut off.
8
Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; like the untimely births of
a woman, that have not seen the sun.
9
Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the
raw and the burning alike.
10
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in
the blood of the wicked.
11
And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; verily there is a
God that judgeth in the earth.'
