Psalm 58
58
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David.
1Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation?
Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2Yea, in heart ye work wickedness;
Ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3The wicked are estranged from the womb:
They go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4Their poison is like the poison of a serpent:
They are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
5Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers,
Charming never so wisely.
6Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: Break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
7Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8As 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.
9Before your pots can feel the thorns,
He shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
10The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance:
He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous:
Verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

1Would you indeed speak righteousness, in silence? Do you judge straightly, you sons of men?
2No, in heart you work unrighteousness; On earth you weigh out the violence of your hands.
3The wrong have been estranged from the womb; These who speak lies go astray from birth.
4Their poison is like the poison of a snake; Like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,
5So as not to hear the voice of whisperers, Or a skilled caster of spells.
6O Elohim, break their teeth in their mouth! Break out the fangs of the young lions, O יהוה!
7Let them melt, let them vanish as water; Let Him aim His arrows that they be cut down;
8Like a snail which melts away as it moves, Like a woman’s stillbirth, Let them not see the sun!
9Before your pots feel the thorns, Whether green or ablaze, He sweeps them away.
10The righteous rejoices when he has seen the vengeance, He washes his feet in the blood of the wrong,
11And man says, “Truly, the righteous are rewarded; Truly, there is an Elohim judging in the earth.”
