Psalms 58

Webster(i) 1 + 2 (58:1)To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David. Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? 3 (58:2)Yes, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. 4 (58:3)The wicked are estranged from their birth: they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies. 5 (58:4)Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; 6 (58:5)Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely. 7 (58:6)Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD. 8 (58:7)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. 9 (58:8)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. 10 (58:9)Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath. 11 (58:10)The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 12 (58:11)So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
