Psalms 58
58
PSALM FIFTY-EIGHT
To the Chief Musician. “Do not destroy.” A secret treasure of David.
1Do you indeed speak righteousness, O mighty lords? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?
2Yea! In your heart you work wickedness; you weigh out the violence from your hands in the earth.
3The wicked are estranged from the womb; they who speak lies go astray from birth. #Isa. 48:8
4Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; he stops his ear like the deaf adder, #Eccl. 10:11
5Which will not listen to the charmer’s voice, though a skillful caster of spells.
6O God, break their teeth in their mouth; shatter the fangs of the young lions, O Lord. #Job 4:10
7Let them melt away like waters which run off continually. When he aims his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
8Let them be as a slug which is melting away; as a miscarriage of a woman, so they may never see the sun. #Job 3:16
9Before your pots can feel the thorns, He shall take them away as with a whirlwind—whether green or dry. #Prov. 10:25
10The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he shall bathe his footsteps in the blood of the wicked, #Psa. 68:23
11So that a man shall say, “Truly, there is a reward for the righteous; truly, there is a God Who is judging in the earth.” #Psa. 92:15
