Psalm 58
Revised Geneva Translation
58 Is it true? O congregation, do you speak justly? O sons of men, do you judge uprightly?
2 Indeed, rather, you imagine mischief in your heart. Your hands execute cruelty upon the Earth.
3 The wicked are strangers from the womb. From the belly, they have erred and speak lies.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent; like the deaf adder that stops its ear
5 It does not hear the voice of the enchanter (though he is most expert in charming).
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouths. Break the jaws of the young lions, O LORD.
7 Let them melt like the waters. Let them pass away. When he shoots his arrows, let them be broken.
8 Let them proceed as a snail that melts, and like the stillborn child of a woman who has not seen the Sun.
9 Before your pots can feel the fire of thorns, let Him carry them away as green, with a whirlwind, in His wrath.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 And men shall say, “Truly, there is fruit for the righteous. Doubtless, there is a God Who judges on the Earth.” To him who excels: Do not destroy. A Psalm of David on Michtam, when Saul sent and they watched the house to kill him
Psalm 58
King James Version
58 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.
