Psalms 58Prayer For The Punishment Of The Wicked
To The Chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam Of David
King James Version
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:let them be as cut in pieces.
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:both living, and in his wrath.
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.
verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
