Psalms:58
web@Psalms:58:1 @ For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David. Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?
web@Psalms:58:2 @ No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.
web@Psalms:58:3 @ The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
web@Psalms:58:4 @ Their poison is like the poison of a snake; like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,
web@Psalms:58:5 @ which doesn't listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.
web@Psalms:58:6 @ Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.
web@Psalms:58:7 @ Let them vanish as water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.
web@Psalms:58:8 @ Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.
web@Psalms:58:9 @ Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.
web@Psalms:58:10 @ The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;
web@Psalms:58:11 @ so that men shall say, "Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth."
