Psalms 58

1 David reproveth wicked judges, 3 describeth the nature of the wicked, 6 devoteth them to God's judgments, 10 whereat the righteous shall rejoice.

 58:1 ¶ [[To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David.]] Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

 58:2 Yes, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.

 58:3 The wicked are estranged from their birth: they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

 58:4 Their poison [is] like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder [that] stoppeth her ear;

 58:5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

 58:6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

 58:7 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.

 58:8 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.

 58:9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in [his] wrath.

 58:10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

 58:11 So that a man shall say, Verily [there is] a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
