Psalms, Chapter 58
1
For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam.
Do you⁺ indeed in silence speak righteousness?Do you⁺ judge uprightly, O you⁺ sons of man?
2
No, in heart you⁺ work wickedness;You⁺ weigh out the violence of your⁺ hands in the earth.
3
The wicked are estranged from the womb:They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
4
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent:[They are] like the deaf cobra that stops her ear,
5
Which does not harken to the voice of charmersUsing magic words with mastery.
6
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth:Break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Yahweh.
7
Let them melt away as water that runs apace:When he aims his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
8
[Let them be] as a snail which melts and passes away,[Like] the untimely birth of a woman, that has not seen the sun.
9
Before your⁺ pots can feel the thorns,He will take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.
10
The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance:He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;
11
So that man will say, Truly there is a reward for the righteous:Truly there is a God who judges in the earth.
