RSV Psalms 58 Chapter
58:1
To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David. Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods? Do you judge the sons of men uprightly?
58:2
Nay, in your hearts you devise wrongs;your hands deal out violence on earth.
58:3
The wicked go astray from the womb, they err from their birth, speaking lies.
58:4
They have venom like the venom of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops its ear,
58:5
so that it does not hear the voice of charmers or of the cunning enchanter.
58:6
O God, break the teeth in their mouths;tear out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD!
58:7
Let them vanish like water that runs away;like grass let them be trodden down and wither.
58:8
Let them be like the snail which dissolves into slime, like the untimely birth that never sees the sun.
58:9
Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns, whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!
58:10
The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance;he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
58:11
Men will say, 'Surely there is a reward for the righteous;surely there is a God who judges on earth.'
