Psalms 58
(sp) 1. To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David. Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
(sp) 2. Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
(sp) 3. The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
(sp) 4. Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
(sp) 5. Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
(sp) 6. Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
(sp) 7. Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
(sp) 8. As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
(sp) 9. Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
(sp) 10. The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
(sp) 11. So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
