Psalms Chapter 58 (NIV)
undefined
Psalm 58For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam.Do you rulers indeed speak justly?Do you judge uprightly among men?
undefined
No, in your heart you devise injustice,and your hands mete out violence on the earth.
undefined
Even from birth the wicked go astray;from the womb they are wayward and speak lies.
undefined
Their venom is like the venom of a snake,like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears,
undefined
that will not heed the tune of the charmer,however skillful the enchanter may be.
undefined
Break the teeth in their mouths, O God;tear out, O Lord, the fangs of the lions!
undefined
Let them vanish like water that flows away;when they draw the bow, let their arrows be blunted.
undefined
Like a slug melting away as it moves along,like a stillborn child, may they not see the sun.
undefined
Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns—whether they be green or dry—the wicked will be swept away.
undefined
The righteous will be glad when they are avenged,when they bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.
undefined
Then men will say,“Surely the righteous still are rewarded;surely there is a God who judges the earth.”
