Psalm 58
1 Do ye
indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye
judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the
violence of your hands in the earth.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go
astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they
are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
5 Which will not hearken 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 Lord.
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.
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.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall
take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and
in his wrath.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the
vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of
the wicked.
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.
