psalms 58

1 - Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones?Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?

2 - No, in your heart you plot injustice.You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.

3 - The wicked go astray from the womb.They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

4 - Their poison is like the poison of a snake;like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,

5 - which doesn't listen to the voice of charmers,no matter how skillful the charmer may be.

6 - Break their teeth, God, in their mouth.Break out the great teeth of the young lions, The LORD.

7 - Let them vanish like water that flows away.When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.

8 - Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away,like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.

9 - Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns,he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.

10 - The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance.He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;

11 - so that men shall say, "Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous.Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth."
