Psalms 58
1For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial. If you⌃ do indeed speak righteousness,then do you⌃ judge rightly, you⌃ sons of men.2For you⌃ work iniquities inyour hearts in the earth: your hands plot unrighteousness.
3Sinners have gone astray from the womb: they go astray from the belly: they speaklies.
4Their venom is likethat of a serpent; asthat of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears;
5which will not hear the voice of charmers, norheed the charm prepared skillfully by the wise.
6God has crushed their teeth in their mouth: God has broken the cheek-teeth of thelions.
7They shall utterly pass away like water running through: he shall bend his bowtill they shall fail.
8They shall be destroyed as melted wax: the fire has fallen and they have not seenthe sun.
9Before your thorns feel the white thorn, he shall swallow you up as living, asin his wrath.
10The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly: he shallwash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
11And a man shall say, Verily then there is a reward for the righteous: verily thereis a God that judges them in the earth.
