Psalms Chapter 58 (ESV)
undefined
Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods? Do you judge the children of man uprightly?
undefined
No, in your hearts you devise wrongs; your hands deal out violence on earth.
undefined
The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies.
undefined
They have venom like the venom of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops its ear,
undefined
so that it does not hear the voice of charmers or of the cunning enchanter.
undefined
O God, break the teeth in their mouths; tear out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD!
undefined
Let them vanish like water that runs away; when he aims his arrows, let them be blunted.
undefined
Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime, like the stillborn child who never sees the sun.
undefined
Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns, whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!
undefined
The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
undefined
Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth.”
