Psalm 58:1-6

Darby Translation

To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam.

58 Is righteousness indeed silent? Do ye speak it? Do ye judge with equity, ye sons of men?

² Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.

³ The wicked go astray from the womb; they err as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

⁴ Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder which stoppeth her ear;

⁵ Which doth not hearken to the voice of enchanters, of one charming ever so wisely.

⁶ O God, break their teeth in their mouth; break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.
