Psalm 58 - To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David.
Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation?
do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon
as they be born, speaking lies.
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the
deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great
teeth of the young lions, O Lord.
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.
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.
Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a
whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash
his feet in the blood of the wicked.
So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily
he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
