| Psalms 58: (ASV) |
| 1) Do ye indeed in silence speak righteousness? Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? |
| 2) Nay, in heart ye work wickedness; Ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth. |
| 3) The wicked are estranged from the womb: They go astray as soon as they are 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 hearkeneth not 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 Jehovah. |
| 7) Let them melt away as water that runneth apace: When he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off. |
| 8) Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away, Like the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun. |
| 9) Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike. |
| 10) The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked; |
| 11) So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth. |
