Psalm 58:1-3
English Standard Version

God Who Judges the Earth

To the choirmaster: according to (A)Do Not Destroy. A (B)Miktam[a] of David.

58 Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods?[b]
    Do you judge the children of man uprightly?
2 No, in your hearts you devise wrongs;
    your hands (C)deal out violence on earth.

3 The wicked are (D)estranged from the womb;
    they go astray from birth, speaking lies.
