chapter_Psalm_58
Psalm 58:1: To the Overseer. &#8212; 'Destroy not.' &#8212; A secret treasure, by David. Is it true, O dumb one, righteously ye speak? Uprightly ye judge, O sons of men? Psalm 58:2: Even in heart ye work iniquities, In the land the violence of your hands ye ponder. Psalm 58:3: The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies. Psalm 58:4: Their poison is as poison of a serpent, As a deaf asp shutting its ear, Psalm 58:5: Which hearkeneth not to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of charms most skilful. Psalm 58:6: O God, break their teeth in their mouth, The jaw-teeth of young lions break down, O Jehovah. Psalm 58:7: They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceedeth as they cut themselves off. Psalm 58:8: As a snail that melteth he goeth on, As an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun. Psalm 58:9: Before your pots discern the bramble, As well the raw as the heated He whirleth away. Psalm 58:10: The righteous rejoiceth that he hath seen vengeance, His steps he washeth in the blood of the wicked. Psalm 58:11: And man saith: 'Surely fruit is for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!'
