NASB - Psalms 58

PSALM 58 Prayer for the Punishment of the Wicked. For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David. 58 1Do you indeed [Y]speak righteousness, O [Z]gods? Do you judge [A]uprightly, O sons of men? 2No, in heart you work unrighteousness; On earth you weigh out the violence of your hands. 3The wicked are estranged from the womb; These who speak lies go astray from [B]birth. 4They have venom like the venom of a serpent; Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear, 5So that it does not hear the voice of [C]charmers, Or a skillful caster of spells. 6O God, shatter their teeth in their mouth; Break out the fangs of the young lions, O Lord. 7Let them flow away like water that runs off; When he [D]aims his arrows, let them be as [E]headless shafts. 8Let them be as a snail which [F]melts away as it goes along, Like the miscarriages of a woman which never see the sun. 9Before your pots can feel the fire of thorns He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the [G]green and the burning alike. 10The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 11And men will say, “Surely there is a [H]reward for the righteous; Surely there is a God who judges [I]on earth!”
