The Book of Psalms

 

Chapter 58

 

 

1.

 

{To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam.} Is righteousness indeed silent? Do ye speak it? Do ye judge with equity, ye sons of men?

    
 
 

2.

 

Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.

    
 
 

3.

 

The wicked go astray from the womb; they err as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

    
 
 

4.

 

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder which stoppeth her ear;

    
 
 

5.

 

Which doth not hearken to the voice of enchanters, of one charming ever so wisely.

    
 
 

6.

 

O God, break their teeth in their mouth; break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.

    
 
 

7.

 

Let them melt away as waters that flow off; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as blunted:

    
 
 

8.

 

Let them be as a snail that melteth as it passeth away; [like] the untimely birth of a woman, let them not see the sun.

    
 
 

9.

 

Before your pots feel the thorns, green or burning, -- they shall be whirled away.

    
 
 

10.

 

The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his footsteps in the blood of the wicked:

    
 
 

11.

 

And men shall say, Verily there is fruit for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
