Tehillim 58
58
(For the one directing. Set to Do Not Destroy. Mikhtam Dovid)
1 Do ye indeed decree tzedek, O elim (g-ds)?#58:1 Ex 22:28 [27] Do ye judge uprightly the Bnei Adam?
2 No, in lev (heart) ye work wickedness; ye weigh out the chamas (violence) of your hands in Ha'Aretz.
3 The resha'im are perverted from the rekhem (womb); gone astray from birth are they, speaking kazav (lie, falsehood).
4 Their venom is like the venom of a nachash; they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth its ear;
5 That it may not pay heed to the voice of charmers, casting spells ever so cunningly.
6 Break their teeth, O Elohim, in their mouth; tear out the fangs of the young lions, Hashem.
7 Let them melt away like draining mayim; when he bendeth his bow to shoot his khitzim (arrows), let them be crumbled to pieces.
8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away; like the stillborn child of an isha, that they may not see the shemesh.
9 Before your sirot (pots) can feel the burning thorns, may He with a whirlwind blow them away, both green and dry alike.
10 The tzaddik shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash feet in the dahm harasha.
11 So that adam shall say, Verily there is a reward for the tzaddik; verily yesh Elohim Shofetim ba'aretz (there is a G-d that judgeth in the earth).

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.
