Psalms 58:1-11

^{1 [58:2]} To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David. Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
^{2 [58:3]} Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
^{3 [58:4]} The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
^{4 [58:5]} Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
^{5 [58:6]} Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
^{6 [58:7]} Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
^{7 [58:8]} 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 [58:9]} 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 [58:10]} Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
^{10 [58:11]} The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
^{11 [58:12]} So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
