Psalms 58
1
Do you indeed speak justly, O rulers? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?
2
No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.
3
The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.
4
Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like a cobra that shuts its ears,
5
refusing to hear the tune of the charmer who skillfully weaves his spell.
6
O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.
7
May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted.

Notes
+
Or when they are trodden down, may they wither like grass
8
Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.
9
Before your pots can feel the burning thorns— whether green or dry— He will sweep them away.
10
The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
11
Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”
