Psalms:58
rsv@Psalms:58:1 @ To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David.
rsv@Psalms:58:2 @ Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods? Do you judge the sons of men uprightly?
rsv@Psalms:58:3 @ Nay, in your hearts you devise wrongs; your hands deal out violence on earth.
rsv@Psalms:58:4 @ The wicked go astray from the womb, they err from their birth, speaking lies.
rsv@Psalms:58:5 @ They have venom like the venom of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops its ear,
rsv@Psalms:58:6 @ so that it does not hear the voice of charmers or of the cunning enchanter.
rsv@Psalms:58:7 @ O God, break the teeth in their mouths; tear out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD!
rsv@Psalms:58:8 @ Let them vanish like water that runs away; like grass let them be trodden down and wither.
rsv@Psalms:58:9 @ Let them be like the snail which dissolves into slime, like the untimely birth that never sees the sun.
rsv@Psalms:58:10 @ Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns, whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!
rsv@Psalms:58:11 @ The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked. [ (Psalms strkjv@58:12) Men will say, "Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth." ]
