Ps 58
0 Psalm 58 For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam.
1
Do you indeed in silence speak righteousness? Do you judge uprightly, O you sons of
men?
2
Nay, in heart you work wickedness; You weigh out the violence of your hands in the
earth.
3
The wicked are estranged from the womb: They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking
lies.
4
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [They are] like the deaf adder that
stops her ear,
5
Which hearkens not to the voice of charmers, Charming never so wisely.
6
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: Break out the great teeth of the young lions,
O YHWH.
7
Let them melt away as water that runs apace: When he aims his arrows, let them be
as though they were cut off.
8
[Let them be] as a snail which melts and passes away, [Like] the untimely birth of
a woman, that has not seen the sun.
9
Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will take them away with a whirlwind, the
green and the burning alike.
10
The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance: He shall wash his feet in
the blood of the wicked;
11
So that men shall say, Truly there is a reward for the righteous: Truly there
is a God that judges in the earth.
