Psalms Chapter 58

• 1 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
• 2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
• 3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
• 4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
• 5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
• 6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord.
• 7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
• 8 As 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.
• 9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
• 10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
• 11 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
