Psalm 58

Psalm 58:1-11

58
Chapter 58
To the director. Do not destroy. A michtam. Of David. 1 Are you truly silent about righteousness? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men? 2 No—in the heart you work injustice; in the earth your hands make violence smooth. 3 The wicked go astray even from the womb; they speak words of falsehood from the belly. 4 Their poison is like the poison of a snake, like a deaf adder that stops up its ear. 5 which does not hear the voice of whisperers, a joiner of companions from the wise one. 6 God, break their teeth in their mouth; shatter lions' fangs, LORD. 7 May they dissolve like waters that they walk about in; may his arrows be made dull as they molder. 8 Like a snail they will dissolve; they will go away. Like waters they will walk for themselves; his arrow will way like they will wither. 9 Before your pots can feel the thistle, like living like a whirlwind he will sweep it away—a miscarried birth, his woman without they have seen the sun. 10 The righteous will rejoice when he sees vengeance; he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 11 And man said, "Surely there is fruit for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges in the earth."
